Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 140NOM21200 support hot-swap?
A: Yes. You can replace it while the rack remains powered.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for Modbus+?
A: Up to 500 m with twisted-pair copper. Use repeaters for longer runs.
Q: Can I use both Modbus+ ports simultaneously?
A: Yes. They operate in redundant mode. One active, one standby.
Q: Is this module compatible with older Quantum CPUs?
A: It works with most Quantum CPUs. Check firmware version for full support.
Q: What diagnostics does the 140NOM21200 provide?
A: RAM checksum, processor test, and link quality counters.
