Modicon Quantum Integration

The ABFM16S201 is specifically compatible with the 140ACI04000 analogue input module. Therefore, it provides a complete pre-assembled cabling solution for Quantum analogue inputs. The SUB-D connectors mate directly with the module's front panel ports. Consequently, field wiring is reduced to connecting sensors to the cable's flying leads.

Installation Guidelines

Install the ABFM16S201 by connecting the SUB-D connectors to the Quantum analogue input module. Route the shielded cable away from high-voltage power lines. Secure the cable using proper cable ties or conduits. Connect the individual wires to field sensors according to the wiring diagram. Do not exceed the 1A current rating per conductor. Verify the operating temperature stays between -20 and 60°C. The 2m cable length provides adequate reach for most panel layouts.
