Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the 140XBP00600 is unavailable or end-of-life, the following models may serve as direct or functional replacements depending on your rack configuration and slot requirements:
- 140XBP00400 — Schneider Quantum 4-slot backplane; use when fewer slots are required
- 140XBP01000 — Schneider Quantum 10-slot backplane; use when expansion is needed
- 140XBP01600 — Schneider Quantum 16-slot backplane; for high-density applications
- TSXRKY6 — Schneider Premium series 6-slot rack (different PLC family; requires full system migration)
- Third-party compatible racks — Some certified third-party manufacturers produce Quantum-compatible backplanes; verify bus pinout and certification before use
⚠ Note: Always verify firmware compatibility, power supply ratings, and module slot assignments before substituting backplane models in a live system.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Guaranteed bus compatibility — Factory-tested with all Quantum-series modules including CPU, I/O, and communication cards
- Certified safety ratings — FM Class I Div 2 certification for hazardous environments
- Long-term support — Schneider Electric provides firmware and hardware support lifecycle documentation
- Plug-and-play integration — No configuration required; modules seat and communicate immediately
- Reduced commissioning risk — Eliminates compatibility unknowns in critical automation infrastructure
Typical Applications
- Oil & gas process control panels (local and remote I/O racks)
- Water treatment and utilities SCADA systems
- Automotive and discrete manufacturing lines
- Power generation and distribution substations
- Building management and HVAC control systems
- Pharmaceutical batch processing (FDA-regulated environments)
System Compatibility
The 140XBP00600 is compatible with the full Modicon Quantum product ecosystem:
- CPUs: 140CPU31110, 140CPU43412A, 140CPU65150, 140CPU65160 and all Quantum CPU modules
- Power Supplies: 140CPS11100, 140CPS11420, 140CPS21100
- I/O Modules: All 140DDI, 140DDO, 140DAI, 140DAO, 140ACI, 140ACO series
- Communication Modules: 140NOE77100 (Ethernet), 140NOM21100 (Modbus Plus), 140CRP93100 (RIO)
- Software: Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert (all versions supporting Quantum hardware)
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct Quantum backplane for your project:
- Slot count needed: Count your CPU + PSU + I/O + communication modules. Choose a backplane with at least that many slots (4 / 6 / 10 / 16 available).
- Rack type: Local rack (connected directly to CPU) vs. remote rack (connected via RIO drop). Both use the same backplane family.
- Environment: For hazardous locations, confirm FM Class I Div 2 certification on the selected backplane.
- Expansion planning: If future module additions are expected, select a larger backplane now to avoid rack replacement later.
- Power budget: Verify total module power draw does not exceed the selected PSU’s output rating for the rack.
If you are unsure which backplane fits your system, contact our technical team with your CPU model and module list — we will recommend the correct configuration.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a 140XBP01000 (10-slot) instead of the 140XBP00600 (6-slot)?
A: Yes, physically and electrically compatible. The extra slots will remain empty. Ensure your enclosure has sufficient space.
Q: Is the 140XBP00600 compatible with Modicon M340 or M580 CPUs?
A: No. The 140XBP00600 is exclusive to the Quantum series. M340 uses BMEXBP racks; M580 uses BMEXBP or BMEXBP0400/0800 series.
Q: Can I mix Quantum and Premium modules on the same backplane?
A: No. Quantum and Premium series use different bus architectures and are not cross-compatible.
Q: Do you supply refurbished units?
A: We supply both new and tested-refurbished units. Condition is clearly stated on each listing. Refurbished units carry the same 12-month warranty.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typically 2–4 weeks depending on sourcing. Contact us for current availability.
