Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 140XBE10000 is the right module for your application:
- Step 1 – Confirm platform: Verify your system uses Modicon Quantum 140-series racks. This module is not compatible with M340, M580, or Premium platforms.
- Step 2 – Identify expansion need: Determine whether you need local bus expansion (140XBE10000) or remote I/O via Ethernet/Modbus Plus (140CRA93100).
- Step 3 – Check rack slots: Confirm available slots in your existing rack and the target expansion rack model.
- Step 4 – Verify firmware: Ensure CPU firmware version supports the expander configuration in your Unity Pro / Control Expert project.
- Step 5 – Quantity & redundancy: For redundant systems, confirm whether dual expanders are required per rack pair.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the 140XBE10000 be used with Modicon M580 racks?
A: No. The 140XBE10000 is designed exclusively for the Quantum 140-series platform. M580 uses a different backplane architecture (BMEXBP series).
Q: Is the 140XBE10000 still in production?
A: Schneider Electric has transitioned some Quantum modules to limited availability. Konmask.com maintains stock of both new and refurbished units. Contact us to confirm current availability.
Q: What is the difference between 140XBE10000 and 140CRA93100?
A: The 140XBE10000 is a local bus backplane expander for extending racks in close proximity. The 140CRA93100 is a remote I/O adapter for distributed I/O over Modbus Plus or Ethernet networks.
Q: Can I mix original and third-party expanders in the same system?
A: This is not recommended. Mixing may cause bus timing issues or diagnostic errors. Always use OEM modules for critical control systems.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask.com offers a 12-month warranty on all modules. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
