Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the PC-E984-685 compatible with Unity Pro software?
A: The 984-series architecture uses Concept or ProWORX NxT programming environments. Unity Pro targets the Quantum 140 CPU series. Please confirm your software environment before ordering.
Q: Can this module be used in a hot-standby redundancy configuration?
A: Yes. The PC-E984-685 supports hot-standby CPU redundancy when paired with the appropriate Quantum redundancy module and cabling. Contact us for a complete redundancy BOM.
Q: What is the difference between PC-E984-685 and 140CPU65160?
A: The PC-E984-685 belongs to the legacy 984 Quantum architecture, while the 140CPU65160 is part of the newer Quantum 140 series with Unity Pro support and enhanced Ethernet connectivity. Both are in active use; selection depends on your existing rack infrastructure.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask offers a standard 90-day functional warranty on all modules. Extended warranty options are available — inquire at time of order.
Q: Can you supply multiple units for a plant-wide upgrade?
A: Yes. We specialize in bulk and project-quantity sourcing. Contact us with your full BOM for a consolidated quote.
