Schneider Electric 140CPU67160S Unity Safety Processor – Modicon Quantum Series
Imagine a high-speed automotive assembly line or a chemical processing plant where a single undetected fault in the control system could trigger a catastrophic shutdown—or worse, an uncontrolled hazardous event. Without a dedicated safety processor, standard PLCs cannot guarantee the fail-safe response times and diagnostic coverage that modern functional safety standards demand. The Schneider Electric 140CPU67160S was engineered precisely to eliminate this gap, delivering certified safety logic execution within the Modicon Quantum architecture so that your most critical processes remain protected at all times.
Within the Modicon Quantum 140CPU family, the 140CPU67160S occupies the top tier of safety-rated processors. It combines the high-performance processing of the Quantum platform with IEC 61508 SIL 2 certification, making it the preferred choice for safety instrumented systems (SIS) in oil & gas, power generation, and advanced manufacturing worldwide. Its native Unity Pro programming environment ensures seamless co-engineering of standard and safety logic on a single platform—a capability that has made the Modicon Quantum series one of the most widely deployed safety PLC platforms across global industrial automation markets.
