Quantum CPU Modules
Overview
The Quantum CPU is a module residing on the Quantum local I/O backplane. The
CPU is a digitally operating electronic system, which uses a programmable memory
for the internal storage of user instructions. These instructions are used to
implement specific functions such as:
These instructions allow control through digital and analog outputs, for various types
of machines and processes.
The Quantum CPU serves as a bus master controlling the local, remote, and
distributed I/O of the Quantum system.

Quantum I/O Modules
Overview
Quantum I/O modules are electrical signal converters that convert signals to and
from field devices to a signal level and format, which can be processed by the CPU,
such as:
All I/O modules are optically isolated to the bus, ensuring safe and trouble-free
operation. All I/O modules are also software configurable.

RIO Modules (CRP/CRA/NRP)
Quantum RIO head and drop modules use a S908-based networking I/O
configuration. Communication is done via single or dual coaxial cabling up to 15,000
feet away. This configuration supports a mix of the following product lines:
SY/MAX
200 Series
500 Series
800 Series
Quantum I/O
When Quantum RIO is required, the Quantum controller may support up to 31 RIO
drops. In an RIO configuration, an RIO head module is connected with coaxial cable
to RIO drop modules at each remote drop.
Quantum NRP modules provide extended communication capabilities and noise
immunity for the Quantum RIO network with fiber optic media.
DIO Module (CRA)
Quantum DIO is implemented over a Modbus Plus network. The CPU or NOMs
module may be the network head via their Modbus Plus ports.
Quantum DIO Modbus Plus drop adaptors are specifically designed to link Quantum
I/O modules to the head via twisted pair shielded cable (Modbus Plus). The DIO
drop modules also provide the I/O with power (maximum 3A) from a 24 Vdc or a
115/230 Vac source. Each DIO network supports up to 63 distributed drops using
repeaters.
Modicon Quantum Overview
Network Option Module (NOM)
Quantum NOM modules provide extended communication capabilities for the
Quantum system within a Modbus Plus configuration.
Modbus Plus on Fiber Module (NOM)
Quantum Modbus Plus on Fiber modules provides connectivity to Modbus Plus
nodes by fiber cable without fiber optic repeaters, and allows the creation of a pure
fiber optic network or a mixed fiber optic/twisted-pair network (with the use of a
490NRP254 Fiber Optic Repeater).
Ethernet TCP/IP (NOE) Modules
Quantum Ethernet TCP/IP modules make it possible for a Quantum controller to
communicate with devices on an Ethernet network using TCP/IP – the de facto
standard protocol. An Ethernet module may be inserted into an existing Quantum
system and connected to existing Ethernet networks via fiber optic or twisted pair
cabling.

The Quantum InterBus is the interface module to the InterBus bus. The InterBus bus
is a fieldbus network designed for I/O blocks and intelligent devices used in
manufacturing. It offers a master/slave topology that permits deterministic I/O
servicing over it’s 13 km twisted pair network.
LonWorks Modules (NOL)
Quantum NOL modules provide connectivity between a Quantum controller and a
LonWorks network, based on Echelon’s LonWorks technology. The NOL module is
offered in three models for different transceiver types, and supports three twistedpair media types with different network topologies or data transfer speeds.
Profibus Interface Module (CRP)
Quantum Profibus module is the interface module to Profibus-DP networks. The
interface modules use Type A, shielded twisted pair to join inline connectors, with or
without service ports and bus terminators.
AS-i Interface Module
Quantum AS-i modules provide connectivity between a Quantum controller and ASi networks. AS-i bus cable is an unshielded flat two-wire link on which
communication and power are transmitted to connected devices. The media
insulation is self-healing to accommodate junction block removal.
