The improved Modicon Quantum controller

The new Modicon Quantum Ethernet I/O (QEIO) offer is designed to meet the requirements of both the industrial automation and process industries. An integral part of the PlantStruxure architecture, Modicon Quantum Ethernet I/O supports remote I/O architectures that meet your physical requirements today, and is scalable and flexible enough to adapt to future modifications of your installation.
PlantStruxure is a collaborative architecture that allows industrial companies to meet their automation needs and, at the same time, deliver on growing energy management requirements. In a single environment, measured energy and process data can be analyzed and used to yield a holistically optimized plant. PlantStruxure is not only easy to engineer and simple to maintain, it delivers a clear picture of what is happening in your process. It integrates easily with third party devices and provides added value in the form of historian and manufacturing execution system functionalities. In short, PlantStruxure helps you drive increased return on assets and meets your application needs.

Standard Available
Ethernet is an industrial standard. EtherNet/IP (promoted by Open Device Vendor Association) has been chosen for QEIO as a long-lasting universal standard. Standard network infrastructure devices, tools, and network analyzers simplify maintenance and training. The requirement for many systems today is high operational availability of your process. QEIO solutions can continue to operate in the event of a loss of connection at a single device, keeping your process running with minimal disruption.

Scalable
When your application evolves, the QEIO solution grows alongside it, adapting to the life cycle of your installation without extensive modifications. The addition of sensors/actuators and other devices is simplified due to the versatility of Modicon Quantum Ethernet I/O.

Simple
All the I/Os are managed by one single configuration software Unity Pro.

Enjoy flexibility and high perfo

The QEIO solution is based on the existing Modicon Quantum offer. All the I/O modules are the same. The system is flexible to allow I/O architectures to be designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of control applications. The choice of an I/O bus architecture based on Ethernet removes the limitations of traditional, proprietary network topologies while offering flexibility and high level of performance.

> For remote I/O drops Up to 31 drops of QEIO. Each drop can be 1 or 2 racks, each rack 4 to 16 slots. Future evolution of QEIO will allow Modicon M340 PLCs to be used as I/O drops to further expand the flexibility.

You didnt plan a future extension of distributed I/O? No need to add cables! Just connect your new distributed I/O island to the existing QEIO network via service port or switch! It is possible to mix distributed I/O and remote I/O on the same media while maintaining the deterministic response of the remote I/O.

Performance
We have implemented the Quality of Service (QoS) function to provide deterministic operation of QEIO For large I/O configurations, the performance is better than many proprietary remote I/O buses We have improved communication between SCADA and Modicon PAC Quantum thanks to the OPC Factory Server.
