Product Introduction
When upgrading an existing Modicon Quantum control system or replacing an outdated Ethernet module, the Schneider 140NOC77100C TCP/IP Module delivers a seamless path forward. Designed for the Modicon Quantum automation platform, this module provides high‑speed EtherNet/IP communication for machine control, material handling, packaging, and textile machinery applications.

-
Certifications: UL 508, CSA C22.2 No 142, FM Class 1 Division 2, C‑tick, cUL, ODVA, Merchant Navy
Application Scenarios
The Schneider 140NOC77100C excels in several industrial settings:
-
Machine Control: Connects PLCs with HMIs and drives over EtherNet/IP, enabling real‑time data exchange for precise motion control.
-
Material Handling: Integrates conveyor systems, sorters, and AS/RS with a single network, simplifying wiring and reducing downtime during upgrades.
-
Packaging Lines: Handles high‑speed I/O communication between packaging machines and central controllers, supporting up to 128 simultaneous connections.
Compatibility & Integration
As part of the Modicon Quantum platform, the 140NOC77100C works directly with all Unity CPUs. It supports CIP explicit and implicit messaging, SNMP agent, and DHCP/BootP server functions. The RJ45 10BASE‑T/100BASE‑TX port simplifies connection to existing Ethernet switches. For systems requiring redundant communication, this module is used in standalone mode (no built‑in redundancy).
Maintenance & Reliability
Built for clean indoor environments, the 140NOC77100C requires minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection of the RJ45 connector and LED indicators (Active, Ready, 100 MB, Link, Full Duplex/Collision, Mod Status, Net Status, RxActive, TxActive) ensures prompt detection of link or configuration issues. Its wide temperature tolerance (0 °C–60 °C) and humidity range (up to 80% RH) make it suitable for most factory floors without special cooling.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering the Schneider 140NOC77100C, verify that your rack power supply can provide 500 mA at 5 V DC. Confirm that your CPU is a Unity series (all versions supported). If you need a module with built‑in redundancy, consider a separate configuration. UBEST Automation offers genuine, factory‑tested 140NOC77100C modules with fast shipping.
