Modern automation systems require robust communication interfaces for seamless data exchange between devices. The 140ESI06210 from Schneider Electric provides reliable serial connectivity within the Modicon Quantum automation platform. It enables ASCII-based communication for various industrial applications requiring straightforward data transmission.

Dual-Port Serial Communication for Industrial Applications

The 140ESI06210 features two non-isolated RS-232C ports for flexible device connectivity. Each port supports ASCII transmission at rates up to 19.2 kbit/s for efficient data handling. Consequently, this module facilitates communication with terminals, printers, scales, and other serial devices.

Engineers appreciate the module’s capacity to manage up to 255 distinct messages simultaneously. It supports eight message nesting levels for complex communication sequences. Therefore, the 140ESI06210 handles sophisticated data exchange requirements without additional programming overhead.

Technical Specifications

Below are the comprehensive technical details for the 140ESI06210 serial link module presented in a clear table format:

Message Handling and Data Management

The 140ESI06210 stores up to 255 pre-configured messages in its internal memory. This extensive message library supports quick response times during communication sequences. Additionally, the eight nesting levels allow complex conditional messaging based on real-time process data.

Operators can easily configure the module for specific ASCII protocols using standard programming tools. It interfaces directly with the Quantum backplane for seamless data exchange with the CPU. Furthermore, the module’s 2 W power dissipation ensures minimal thermal impact within crowded control cabinets.

Integration and Installation Details

Installing the 140ESI06210 follows standard Modicon Quantum rack-mounting procedures. It occupies a single slot position within the I/O rack configuration. Consequently, you can maximize slot utilization while maintaining essential serial communication capabilities.

The RS-232C ports support cable runs up to 20 meters between connected devices. This provides sufficient distance for most panel-to-equipment installations within manufacturing facilities. For instance, it pairs effectively with monitoring systems alongside protection components like the RMS TSG TZ C Static Trip unit.

The module operates reliably across a wide temperature range from 0°C to 60°C. Its storage tolerance extends from -40°C to 85°C for safe transport and warehousing. Ultimately, the 140ESI06210 delivers dependable serial communication for diverse industrial automation requirements.
