Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
If the 140ACI03000C is unavailable or end-of-life in your region, the following models offer functional equivalence or direct drop-in replacement capability:
- 140ACI03000 — Earlier revision of the same module; functionally identical, same pinout and backplane interface.
- 140ACI04000 — Extended-channel variant (32 channels); suitable when additional I/O density is required.
- BMXAMI0410 — Modicon M340 platform analog input module; requires adapter rack for Quantum backplane use.
- 140AVI03000 — Voltage-only analog input module; suitable replacement when current input is not required.
- Third-party equivalents — Certain Prosoft Technology and Wago gateway modules support Quantum backplane mapping; consult Konmask technical team for compatibility verification.
Note: Always verify firmware version, backplane slot compatibility, and wiring configuration before substituting modules in a live system.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Proven field reliability — Deployed in thousands of Quantum-based systems globally across oil & gas, water treatment, and power generation.
- Native Unity Pro / Control Expert integration — No additional configuration libraries required; plug-and-play with existing Quantum racks.
- Schneider OEM quality — Factory-calibrated, CE/UL certified, and backed by Schneider Electric’s global support network.
- Long service life — Designed for continuous 24/7 industrial operation with robust EMI shielding.
- Traceability — Each unit carries a unique serial number for warranty and maintenance tracking.
Typical Applications
- Process variable monitoring (temperature, pressure, flow, level) via 4–20 mA transmitters

- Communication: Modbus Plus, Ethernet TCP/IP (via CRP module)
- Hot-Swap: Supported on Quantum racks with hot-standby CPU configurations
- Not compatible with: Modicon Premium (TSX-series), Modicon M580, or non-Quantum backplanes without adapter hardware
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the 140ACI03000C is the right module for your application:
- Channel count needed ≤ 16: 140ACI03000C is optimal.
- Channel count needed 17–32: Consider 140ACI04000 for higher density.
- Input type is voltage-only (no current): 140AVI03000 may be more cost-effective.
- Platform is M340 or M580: Select BMXAMI0410 or BMXAMI0800 respectively.
- Redundancy required: Pair with a Quantum Hot Standby CPU (140CPU67160) for full redundancy.
- Budget-sensitive retrofit: Contact Konmask for certified refurbished 140ACI03000C units with warranty.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is 140ACI03000 the same as 140ACI03000C?
A: Yes. The suffix “C” denotes a minor hardware revision with improved EMI filtering. Both are functionally interchangeable in Unity Pro environments.
Q: Can I use 140ACI03000C in a Modicon M340 rack?
A: No. The 140ACI03000C is designed exclusively for the Quantum backplane. For M340, use the BMXAMI0410.
Q: Does Konmask supply new or refurbished units?
A: We supply both. New units come with full OEM packaging; refurbished units are tested and carry a 12-month Konmask warranty. Please specify your preference when ordering.
Q: What is the lead time for 140ACI03000C?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on sourcing region.
Q: Can Konmask assist with system integration or configuration?
A: Yes. Our technical team can provide wiring diagrams, Unity Pro configuration templates, and remote commissioning support. Contact us for details.
