The 140CHS11000 is a dedicated Hot Standby (HSBY) synchronization module for the Modicon Quantum PLC platform. It provides high-speed, deterministic data synchronization between primary and standby controllers, enabling seamless redundancy in mission-critical systems. Using fiber optic communication, the module ensures electrical isolation, EMI immunity, and rapid failover where system availability is paramount.

Requires Hot Standby-capable Quantum CPUs
Designed for deterministic redundancy in continuous-operation systems
Typical industries include:
Water and wastewater treatment
Power generation and substations
Oil & gas and continuous process manufacturing
Can copper Ethernet cables be used?
No. Although the connectors resemble RJ45, they are fiber-optic interfaces only. Copper Ethernet cables are not supported.
Is this module supported in EcoStruxure Control Expert?
Yes. While originally developed for Concept and ProWORX, the module remains supported for legacy system maintenance and expansion in modern Schneider Electric engineering environments.
What occurs if the fiber link fails?
A red fault LED is triggered, and the system typically maintains operation on the primary controller while issuing an alarm to the HMI/SCADA layer.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
