Schneider Electric 171CCS78000 – Processor Adaptor | Modicon Quantum PLC Platform
Engineering Background
The Schneider Electric 171CCS78000 is a dedicated Processor Adaptor module engineered for the Modicon Quantum PLC platform — one of the most widely deployed process-control architectures in heavy industry, utilities, and critical infrastructure. This adaptor serves as the physical and electrical interface between the Quantum CPU module and the backplane bus, ensuring deterministic signal routing and stable power distribution across the rack assembly.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and system integrators who require a verified, drop-in replacement or expansion component for existing Quantum installations. The 171CCS78000 maintains full backward compatibility with the Quantum rack ecosystem, minimizing re-engineering effort and downtime during maintenance or capacity upgrades.

Engineering Advantages
- Deterministic Signal Routing: Maintains precise timing between CPU and I/O modules, critical for real-time process control loops.
- Backplane Bus Integrity: Engineered to Schneider Electric’s Quantum bus specification, eliminating signal degradation risks associated with third-party adaptors.
- Hot-Swap Ready: Supports Quantum platform’s hot-standby and redundancy architectures when used with compatible CPU configurations.
- Minimal Footprint: Compact form factor preserves rack space for additional I/O or communication modules.
- Long Service Life: Manufactured to industrial-grade MTBF standards consistent with the Quantum platform’s 20+ year field deployment record.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a Modicon Quantum rack assembly, the 171CCS78000 Processor Adaptor is positioned between the CPU module (e.g., 140CPU series) and the backplane. It translates the CPU’s internal bus signals to the Quantum backplane protocol, enabling synchronized data exchange with all installed I/O, communication, and specialty modules. In redundant CPU configurations, the adaptor also participates in the primary/standby switchover logic, ensuring bumpless transfer during failover events.
Signal flow: CPU Module → 171CCS78000 Adaptor → Quantum Backplane Bus → I/O / Comm Modules

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 171CCS78000 compatible with all Modicon Quantum CPU modules?
A: It is designed for the Quantum platform backplane. Compatibility with specific CPU models (e.g., 140CPU65150, 140CPU67160) should be verified against Schneider Electric’s Quantum hardware reference manual. Contact us for application-specific confirmation.
Q: Can this adaptor be used in a hot-standby redundancy configuration?
A: Yes, when paired with compatible Quantum redundancy CPU modules and the appropriate Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert configuration, the 171CCS78000 supports hot-standby operation.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units ship within 2–3 business days. For bulk orders or special requirements, lead time is confirmed at quotation stage.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All units carry a 90-day functional warranty covering manufacturing defects and verified operational failures under normal operating conditions.
Q: Can I request a datasheet or technical drawing?
A: Yes. Official Schneider Electric datasheets and, where available, dimensional drawings are provided upon request with your order inquiry.
