The Schneider 140NOC77100, also cataloged as the 140NOC77100 Ethernet Network Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for industrial Ethernet TCP/IP data routing within Modicon Quantum PLC systems. The module acts as an embedded physical interface layer that maps system memory registers to Ethernet ports, enabling deterministic data transfer between the host controller and connected SCADA architectures, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), or external distributed nodes. Localized network processing components manage packet queues independently of the core processor cycle times.

The Schneider 140NOC77100 offloads communication processing from the master controller by managing socket connections through internal parameters regulated by backplane bus communication velocity licenses. This design handles Modbus TCP frames across the 10/100 Mbps physical layer without causing variation in the controller's logic execution cycles.
When interfacing with modern industrial infrastructures, including Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks, the module provides a bridge for raw register tracking data. The integrated hardware layer maintains continuous bandwidth for up to 64 concurrent client channels, allowing for expanded I/O density scaling profiles where massive data arrays are consistently transferred to centralized supervisor stations without inducing communication jitter or timeout faults.
Q: Does the 140NOC77100 module support live insertion and extraction (hot-swapping) within a powered Quantum chassis?
A: No. The Quantum chassis architecture lacks the active terminal isolation circuitry required for this module during a live insertion. Extracting or plugging the network card while backplane power is active can induce voltage spikes that risk damaging the integrated Ethernet transceivers or disrupting nearby I/O cards.
Q: How are network configuration files and IP address definitions retained during a complete power loss?
A: The module writes its runtime network configuration, including designated IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway parameters, into non-volatile internal storage. It does not require a backup battery assembly to preserve network parameters during an extended system shutdown.
Q: What action does the module take if the simultaneous TCP/IP connection allocation exceeds the 64-client limit?
A: The internal embedded stack drops incoming connection requests beyond the 64 active sockets. New client connections are rejected until an existing socket is closed by a timeout constraint or an explicit disconnect command from the master system.
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.
