The Modicon™ Quantum™ PLC provides a scalable, modular architecture that is configurable to meet the needs of even the most critical solutions from a single rack system to a plant-wide architecture. This scalability combined with class-leading performance makes the Modicon Quantum PLC ideally suited for industries that require continuous operation and rapid responsiveness to achieve optimum cycle times. The Modicon Quantum PLC offers integrated communication connectivity, extensive diagnostics functionality and exceptional memory and data storage capability. When combined with Unity™ Pro programming software, all of this works together to simplify configuration, application development, commissioning and life-cycle management, which not only reduces the cost of installation but the cost of ownership as well.

What you need to know

• Supports deterministic Ethernet Remote I/O (RIO) that still supports up to 31 RIO racks and superior performance to the S908 RIO network that has been a standard for many years.
• Shares the same programming software with the other Modicon industrial PLCs including the SIL3 Modicon Quantum Safety PLC.
• Class-leading high availability architecture to control time-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate unscheduled downtime.
• Adheres to open standards for communications including Ethernet Modbus® TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP (the new ODVA standard for EtherNet/IP™ incorporates Modbus TCP/IP), Profibus and others.
• Unity Pro includes five different programming editors that can be used to optimize application code for unique algorithms or other special control issues. It also includes the LL984 editor to simplify upgrades by importing 984LL applications from legacy Modicon hardware and software.
