Description
The Schneider Electric 140CPU67260 is a high-performance processor from the Modicon Quantum series, specifically designed for high-availability applications using Hot Standby (HSBY) configurations. This CPU ensures system redundancy by allowing a secondary processor to take control seamlessly if the primary unit fails, making it essential for critical industrial processes where downtime is not an option. It features built-in Ethernet ports and supports the Unity Pro programming environment for advanced logic control and communication management.

Product Instructions and Usage
This CPU must be installed in a Modicon Quantum rack (typically the 140XBP series). For Hot Standby functionality, two identical 140CPU67260 processors must be used, linked via a dedicated fiber optic sync cable. Configuration is performed using Unity Pro (now EcoStruxure Control Expert) software. Before commissioning, ensure the rotary switches for address settings are correctly positioned and that the firmware versions match between the primary and standby units. The front panel LCD and LED indicators provide real-time status updates on the “Run,” “Ready,” and “Error” states.
Common Questions and Answers (Q&A)
What makes the 140CPU67260 different from standard Quantum CPUs? It is specifically hardware-enabled for Hot Standby operations, featuring an integrated high-speed synchronization link that standard CPUs lack.
Which software is used to program this module? The 140CPU67260 is programmed using Schneider Electric’s Unity Pro or the updated EcoStruxure Control Expert software.
Does it support Ethernet communication natively? Yes, it has an integrated Ethernet port that supports Modbus TCP/IP for communication with HMI, SCADA, and other PLC systems.
Can I use it as a standalone processor? While designed for redundancy, it can operate as a high-capacity standalone processor if the Hot Standby features are not configured.
How is the memory backed up? The module supports an external battery or an optional PCMCIA memory card to ensure program retention during power loss.
