MMS-Ethernet Modules (NOE)
Quantum-MMS-Ethernet modules are Quantum CPU network option modules that
can be placed in a Quantum backplane to connect Quantum controllers to MMS
devices and applications.
InterBus Interface Module (NOA)
The Quantum InterBus is the interface module to the InterBus bus. The InterBus bus
is a fieldbus network designed for I/O blocks and intelligent devices used in
manufacturing. It offers a master/slave topology that permits deterministic I/O
servicing over it’s 13 km twisted pair network.
LonWorks Modules (NOL)
Quantum NOL modules provide connectivity between a Quantum controller and a
LonWorks network, based on Echelon’s LonWorks technology. The NOL module is
offered in three models for different transceiver types, and supports three twisted-
pair media types with different network topologies or data transfer speeds.
Profibus Interface Module (CRP)
Quantum Profibus module is the interface module to Profibus-DP networks. The
interface modules use Type A, shielded twisted pair to join inline connectors, with or
without service ports and bus terminators.
AS-i Interface Module
Quantum AS-i modules provide connectivity between a Quantum controller and AS-
i networks. AS-i bus cable is an unshielded flat two-wire link on which
communication and power are transmitted to connected devices. The media
insulation is self-healing to accommodate junction block removal.
