Overview
The Schneider 140DAO84210 is a discrete AC output module designed for the Modicon Quantum automation platform. It provides 16 independent output channels configured as four groups of four channels, enabling simultaneous control of multiple AC-powered loads. Operating from 83 to 253 V AC at 47–63 Hz supply frequency, this module integrates seamlessly into Modicon Quantum PLC racks via a single backplane connection.
