Overview
The 140DAM59000 is a Schneider Modicon Quantum mixed discrete I/O module, order code 140-DAM-590-00, combining 16 inputs and 8 solid-state outputs on a single chassis-mount unit. It operates on 115 V AC with a dv/dt rating of 400 V/µs and draws 5.5 W. The module carries CE marking, cUL certification, and FM Class 1 Division 2 approval, making it suitable for hazardous-location installations within a Modicon Quantum rack.
The 140DAM59000 occupies 1 input word and 0.5 output word of addressing space. Its 16 discrete inputs are arranged in 2 groups of 8, each group isolated from the other; the 8 solid-state outputs are similarly split into 2 groups of 4. Output protection is handled by an RC filter per point and a 5 A fuse per group. Fault indication covers loss of field power and blown fuse on the output side. Local signalling uses one green LED for bus communication active, one red LED for no voltage on output/input, two green LEDs per output on, two red LEDs per input fault, and two red LEDs per output fault. The solid-state outputs switch a minimum load of 5 mA and can handle absolute maximum surges of 20 A for 2 cycles per point or 30 A for 1 cycle per point. Response time is 4.9 ms.
Applications
As a Modicon Quantum mixed I/O module, the 140DAM59000 is used in medium-to-large process and discrete automation systems — water treatment, material handling, packaging lines, and chemical processing — where a single module must handle both input sensing and output switching at 115 V AC.
Within the Modicon Quantum range, the 140DAM59000 fills the niche of a mixed I/O module that combines discrete inputs and solid-state outputs on one card, reducing slot count and backplane current draw compared to separate input and output modules. It is specified by system integrators and panel builders who need a compact, field-proven solution for 115 V AC control circuits.
The 140DAM59000 carries CE marking, cUL certification, and FM Class 1 Division 2 approval, and is listed as compliant with California Proposition 65. It also meets UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No 142 standards. No official lifecycle status (active/obsolete) is stated in the available documentation; sourcing inquiries should confirm current availability and lead time via RFQ.
