Schneider Electric introduces the 140CPU67260 Unity Hot Spare processor to enhance reliability of industrial automation systems

August 27, 2024 – Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, announced the launch of the new 140CPU67260 Unity hot spare processor. As a core component of the Modicon Quantum automation platform, this processor provides powerful control and data processing capabilities for industrial automation systems with its high performance, high reliability and advanced hot spare capabilities.

The 140CPU67260 processor is equipped with an Intel 80486 microprocessor at 266 MHz and 3072 kB of internal RAM, ensuring fast data processing and smooth control algorithm execution. The processor supports multiple communication protocols and interfaces, including Ethernet, Modbus Plus, and Profibus DP, providing a wealth of connectivity options for easy integration with other industrial equipment and systems.

The hot spare function is a highlight of the 140CPU67260. When the main processor fails, the hot spare processor automatically takes over control, ensuring the continuous and stable running of the system and minimizing the risk of production interruption. This high level of redundancy support makes the 140CPU67260 ideal for applications where reliability is critical, such as critical infrastructure and industrial processes.

In addition, the 140CPU67260 is easy to use. Schneider Electric offers a wealth of programming tools and software, such as EcoStruxure Control Expert and Concept, for easy programming, monitoring and diagnostics. The modular design and flexible configuration options enable the 140CPU67260 to adapt to industrial control requirements of different sizes and complexities.

The introduction of the 140CPU67260 further expands Schneider Electric’s product line in the field of industrial automation, providing customers with a high-performance, highly reliable control solution. The processor is available now, and customers can learn more about the product and purchase information through Schneider Electric’s official channels. With the continuous development of industrial automation technology, the 140CPU67260 is expected to play an important role in improving industrial production efficiency and system stability.
