Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum™ PAC Series - Large PAC for Process Applications & High Availability Solutions:

The Modicon Quantum PAC is our high-end, full function PLC designed for high I/O count industrial applications that require high performance such as Pharmaceutical, Petrochemical, Food and Beverage, Automotive, and others. Quantum also offers true bumpless hot standby. Quantum processors can be programmed with Unity Pro software, and can also support legacy 984 ladder logic programs in the LL984 Unity Pro editor by simply importing the legacy application program. Concept™ application software and ProWORX™ 32 application software are also supported on the Quantum platform. The Unity Quantum's onboard memory can exceed 3 Mbytes, and can have more than 7 Mbytes of extended memory on a PCMCIA card for data and application storage combined. It can also provide over 8 Mbytes of data storage alone. The Quantum PLC also offers Safety PAC versions certified for use in up to SIL3 applications. This includes both standard and hot standby capability as well as redundant I/O.

Features:

5 IEC languages as standard: LD, ST, FBD, SFC, IL, the Modicon LL984 language to facilitate installed base migration.

High-level multitasking system

Memory capacity up to 7 Mb using PCMCIA extensions

Specially shaped for process control applications with conformal coated modules, and an extensive catalogue of partner modules

Safety processors and I/O modules to manage safety integrated systems

Plug & Play high-performance Hot-Standby solutions with LCD keypad for local monitoring

Numerous built-in ports (USB port, Ethernet TCP/IP port with Web server, Modbus Plus and at least one Modbus serial port) on the front panel

In-rack connectivity to Profibus-DP, embedded Ethernet router

Increase the availability of your architecture with the CRA and CRP Quantum Ethernet I/O modules (QEIO)

Thanks to the Modicon X80 drops, expand your architecture and integrate easily your distributed devices in the same network (such as HMI, variable speed drives, I/O islands...)

Ideally suited for industries that require continuous operation and rapid responsiveness to achieve optimum cycle times, the Modicon Quantum PLC offers integrated communication connectivity, extensive diagnostics functionality and exceptional memory and data storage. With 3 MB of internal memory for programs and data as well as 8 MB of PCMCIA memory for program data and files, the Modicon Quantum PLC has the processing power and flexibility for any application. The PLC can hold the complete source project, process complex data structures, time stamp diagnostic information at source and store recipes or tracking data.
