Product Introduction
Operating as part of the Modicon Quantum platform, the Schneider Electric 140ACO13000 converts controller output commands into analog current signals for field devices. Its eight output channels support several current ranges, including 4–20 mA and 0–20 mA, making it suitable for applications that require multiple independently controlled analog loops.
The module is intended for compatible Modicon Quantum rack configurations. Since the manufacturer has discontinued this reference, maintenance teams should verify the exact part number, terminal arrangement, and existing control-system configuration before purchasing a replacement. For installed systems, a verified compatible spare can help avoid unnecessary changes to field wiring and control logic.

QC, Procurement & Logistics SOP
- Inbound Verification
- Verify the model number against the original product label.
- Inspect the housing, connectors, terminal areas, and identification markings for visible damage.
- Check available serial numbers, revision information, and packaging details where applicable.
- Live Rig Testing
- Assess the module’s condition and arrange functional testing where suitable equipment and a compatible test setup are available.
- Where supported, verify channel operation and output behavior against the applicable technical documentation.
- Do not treat a visual inspection alone as proof of full functionality.
- QA & Anti-Static Packaging
- Protect the module against electrostatic discharge during inspection and packing.
- Use suitable antistatic materials and protective cushioning.
- Record the confirmed model and condition before shipment.
- Global Logistics & Export Compliance
- Confirm the destination, delivery terms, and shipping requirements before dispatch.
- Select the appropriate customs classification based on the product’s technical characteristics and applicable import rules.
- Use secure packaging for international air or sea freight and provide shipment tracking after dispatch.
Technical Pitfalls & Integration Warnings
1. Output Range and Scaling Mismatch
The 140ACO13000 supports multiple current ranges. If the controller configuration expects a 4–20 mA signal but the output channel is configured for a different range, the receiving device may interpret the signal incorrectly. Confirm the configured range and engineering-unit scaling for every channel before commissioning.
2. Firmware and Hardware Revision Compatibility
A replacement module may have different hardware or revision characteristics from the installed unit. If the PLC configuration or project software does not support the replacement revision, the module may not operate as expected. Check the system hardware catalog, applicable documentation, and installed configuration before ordering.
3. Terminal and Field Wiring Compatibility
Do not assume that another Modicon Quantum analog output module has the same terminal assignment or electrical characteristics. Verify the terminal arrangement, field power requirements, and wiring diagram for the exact reference. If considering the recommended BMXAMO0802 replacement, assess the full migration requirements rather than assuming direct interchangeability.
4. ESD Damage During Handling
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components even when no visible marks remain. Use appropriate ESD precautions when removing the module from its packaging or installing it in a rack. Follow the controller manufacturer’s instructions for isolation, removal, and insertion; do not assume the module supports hot swapping in every system configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Schneider Electric 140ACO13000 used for?
It is an eight-channel analog current output module in the Modicon Quantum PLC family. It converts controller output commands into current signals for compatible field devices and process-control loops.
Q2: Is the 140ACO13000 still manufactured?
Schneider Electric lists this reference as discontinued. It may still be available through industrial spare-parts suppliers or existing inventories. Contact us to confirm current stock and condition.
Q3: What output ranges does the 140ACO13000 support?
The documented ranges include 0–20 mA, 0–25 mA, and 4–20 mA. The required range and resolution depend on the application configuration.
Q4: Can the BMXAMO0802 replace the 140ACO13000 directly?
Schneider Electric identifies the BMXAMO0802 as a recommended replacement. However, the BMXAMO0802 belongs to the Modicon X80 platform, so a migration may involve differences in rack hardware, wiring, configuration, and controller compatibility. Confirm the complete system requirements before making the change.
Q5: Can I install the module while the PLC is running?
Do not assume that live insertion or removal is supported. Follow the applicable Modicon Quantum hardware manual and site safety procedures before replacing the module.
Q6: How quickly can you ship the 140ACO13000?
Lead time depends on confirmed inventory, product condition, and destination. Contact us with your required quantity and delivery location for a current quotation and shipping estimate.
Q7: What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?
Please provide the exact part number, required quantity, delivery country, and preferred condition. A photo of the installed module’s label can also help confirm the reference and any visible revision information before ordering.
