Key Technical Specifications of the 140MSB10100
This section details the technical data for the Schneider Electric 140MSB10100.
Axis Configuration and Functions
First, regarding axis count, the module provides 1 real axis and 1 remote axis. It enables synchronization of master and slave speed with high precision. In addition, the 140MSB10100 supports automatic control of linear, rotary, or continuous axes. Therefore, this module suits a wide range of motion applications. The axis positioning range reaches 4,294,967,296 points for extremely long travels. You can set positioning units in mm, inches, or other user-defined units.
Motion Control Capabilities
The 140MSB10100 supports multiple movement types for flexible programming. For example, it handles homing movements to establish a reference position. It also performs relative movements, absolute movements, and continuous movements. Moreover, this module stores 650 flash memory commands for standalone operation. You can create up to 28 traversing programs for complex motion sequences. The module includes logical stops, loop position control, and position captures. It also features a point window function for precise positioning checks.
Speed and Update Rates
The acquisition speed ranges from 1 to 4,294,967,296 points per command. Axis speed units include mm/s, counts/s, rpm, or inches/s. Regarding update rates, the 140MSB10100 updates the position loop every 1 ms. It updates the speed loop every 0.5 ms. Maximum system accuracy reaches 0.5 arc-minutes, though this depends on the encoder. Consequently, this module delivers very smooth and responsive motion control.
Encoder Interface Specifications
The encoder voltage measures 5V DC with +/- 20% tolerance. Encoder impedance is 500 Ohms for proper signal termination. Incremental encoder frequency reaches 500 kHz in x1 mode. In x4 mode, the frequency reaches 2000 kHz. Therefore, the 140MSB10100 reads high-resolution encoder signals accurately. The encoder interface uses differential signaling for noise immunity.
Analog and Discrete I/O on the Module
The analog output provides a bipolar +/-10 to 24V signal with 11 bits plus sign. This output connects directly to a servo drive interface. The analog input ranges from +/-10 to 24V with 30,000 Ohm impedance. For discrete outputs, the 140MSB10100 includes a drive enable output rated at 24V (500 mA) . It also provides 3 auxiliary outputs at 24V (150 mA each) . For discrete inputs, the module offers 7 auxiliary inputs at 24V. It includes a drive fault input (5V TTL) for servo drive status. Finally, it provides dry contact inputs for overtravel (OT) limits.
Position Capture and High-Speed Inputs
Position capture time measures only 250 ms on the high-speed input. Impulse duration is 25 ms on the high-speed input. The minimum time between captures is 20 ms on the high-speed input. As a result, the 140MSB10100 captures fast position events accurately for registration or marking applications.
Communication Port and Protocol
The module includes a communication port using the Modbus protocol. This port operates as a Serial Line Slave on RS232D. Baud rates range from 300 to 9600 bits per second. The connection uses a SUB-D 9 connector for easy cabling. In addition, a SUB-D 50 connector links the 140MSB10100 directly to a servo drive.
Memory and Addressing
The 140MSB10100 uses 3 input words and 4 output words in the CPU memory map. This addressing scheme keeps the motion data organized. Therefore, your logic program can read and write motion parameters easily.
Status Indicators and Diagnostics
First, a digital indicator shows the Modbus Plus communication status. Next, 3 LEDs display the real-time status of the discrete outputs. Finally, 7 LEDs show the real-time status of the discrete inputs. Consequently, you can diagnose the 140MSB10100 at a glance without any software.
Power Requirements
The module draws 1000 mA at 5V DC from the Quantum rack backplane. It also requires 500 mA at 24V DC from an external power supply. Therefore, ensure your power supply can handle these current demands. The 140MSB10100 uses a standard Modicon Quantum module format.
