Features:
- Connects two Quantum racks within a single local or remote drop using a communication cable up to 3 m long.
- Supports multiple rack sizes, allows installation in any rack slot, and enables different Quantum power supply types for each rack.
- Reduces additional remote I/O hardware while providing capacity for future module installation and higher discrete I/O density.
The Schneider Electric 140XBE10000 provides a practical solution for expanding Quantum automation systems without increasing the number of remote I/O drops. By linking two racks within the same drop, it helps maximize available I/O capacity while keeping system architecture straightforward. This approach is particularly valuable for applications expecting future expansion.
As a data signal repeater, 140XBE10000 establishes reliable communication between the primary and secondary racks through a dedicated cable. Each rack operates with its own power supply, allowing independent power distribution while maintaining data exchange. The module itself occupies only one slot and requires no additional addressing because it appears as an empty slot in the PLC I/O map.
The Schneider Electric 140XBE10000 is suitable for Quantum installations that require additional local or remote I/O while maintaining efficient CPU performance. It supports a broad range of rack sizes and accommodates Quantum I/O modules in the secondary rack, helping engineers build scalable control systems. Combined with support for up to 27,648 discrete I/O, the module offers a flexible expansion method for industrial automation environments.
The 140XBE10000 Schneider Electric Backplane Expander may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Multi-Rack Expansion: Used to centrally expand the CPU data stream or RIO (Remote I/O) on the main control baseboard to adjacent secondary slave baseboards.
- High-capacity I/O clusters: Used in continuous process control, for ultra-large control cabinet clusters requiring the centralized installation of more than 16 input/output modules.
- Mixed-signal acquisition: In large infrastructures, low-latency local interconnection of digital, analog, and complex communication modules via dedicated hardware-level extension cables.
- Legacy system maintenance: Specifically designed for in-situ expansion and parts replacement of existing large-scale Quantum automation platforms in petrochemical and heavy industries.
- Pure Hardware Transmission: As a passive expansion device for the baseboard, it has no independent firmware and directly and transparently transmits baseboard bus signals.
- Slot Positioning: Factory defaults to adapting to large master/slave baseboards with 12 to 16 slots in Modicon Quantum systems.
- Hardware Alignment: Natively and seamlessly matches and aligns with the physical slot positions and electrical impedance of the 140XBP01600 baseboard.
- Lifecycle Evolution: After commercial discontinuation of this hardware, the recommended official firmware/hardware replacement kit for system upgrades is BMXXBE2005 for the Modicon M340 platform.
- Green Label: Complies with Green Premium sustainability ecolabel standards.
- Environmental Compliance: Fully compliant with EU RoHS (from batch 0845 onwards) and REACH (Relevant Authorities for Very High Concern) certifications.
- Safety Procedures: Meets CE safety certification and UL global electrical safety standards, core to industrial control automation.
- Environmental Endurance: Passes standard testing for environmental endurance, supporting stable operation in harsh industrial environments ranging from -25°C to +60°C.
