140ESI06210
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 140ESI06210 is an ASCII serial link module in the Modicon Quantum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It is engineered for industrial automation duties within the Modicon Quantum ecosystem.
Application & Technical Notes
As an ascii serial link module, the 140ESI06210 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon Quantum equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed Schneider Electric platform.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 32…140 °F (0…60 °C). These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (32…140 °F (0…60 °C)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40…185 °F (-40…85 °C). Avoid condensation — the rated humidity is 95 % without condensation; store and operate the module in a dry, pollution-degree-appropriate enclosure. Verify field wiring, shielding and grounding at installation; check terminal torque and confirm signal types match the configured range. Periodically inspect for loose terminations, induced noise and channel-level diagnostics reported by the controller. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the 140ESI06210, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine Schneider Electric stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm the module matches your Modicon Quantum rack, the required channel count, signal type and voltage, and the firmware/configuration of the controller. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.
