How It Works

1. Analog Signal Input:
   The Schneider Electric 140ACI04000 module receives current input signals (4-20 mA) from external devices such as temperature or pressure sensors. These devices send real-world data to the PLC system.
2. Signal Conversion:
   The module converts the analog current signals into digital values that the PLC can process and analyze. The 12-bit resolution ensures that the signals are accurately represented.
3. Data Processing:
   The converted data is passed to the Modicon Quantum PLC, which processes the signals for use in control and monitoring applications.
4. Diagnostics and Monitoring:
   LED indicators on the module provide real-time feedback on the system’s status and any issues, making it easy to maintain and troubleshoot.

The Schneider Electric 140ACI04000  module is essential for applications where analog signals need to be processed within a digital control system, offering a reliable and efficient solution for real-time monitoring and control.
