Schneider 170INT11000C Interbus Communication Adaptor for Modicon Momentum

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 170INT11000C are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications Driving ROI

Large-Scale Material Handling

In distribution centers with conveyor systems spread over long distances, the 12800 m maximum cable distance between modules allows a single ring network to cover vast areas. This reduces the number of repeaters and additional adaptors, directly cutting hardware and installation costs.

Automotive Assembly Lines

Automotive plants require reliable communication between hundreds of sensors and actuators. With support for up to 254 devices per segment, the 170INT11000C simplifies network architecture, minimizing cabling and maintenance expenses while maintaining high throughput.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the adaptor in a clean, dry environment (IP20 rated) away from excessive dust or moisture. Use twisted pair cables for the ring topology, ensuring proper termination to avoid signal reflections. The fail-safe mode automatically maintains a safe state if communication is lost, reducing downtime risk. Verify that all connected devices are Interbus generation SUPI 2 compatible.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the conformal coating (Humiseal 1A33) for signs of wear or contamination, especially in humid or chemically aggressive environments. The 8 kV electrostatic discharge resistance and 10 V/m electromagnetic field immunity ensure stable operation in electrically noisy settings. At altitudes up to 5000 m, the adaptor performs reliably without derating, making it suitable for high-altitude installations.

Cost-Efficient Network Expansion with the Schneider 170INT11000C

When expanding or upgrading an industrial communication network, every component choice impacts both immediate budget and long-term operational costs. The Schneider 170INT11000C Interbus communication adaptor, part of the Modicon Momentum series, delivers high-speed data transfer at 500 kbit/s over twisted pair cables, enabling cost-effective integration of up to 254 devices per segment. This scalability reduces the need for additional infrastructure, lowering total cost of ownership.

Compatibility & Integration

The 170INT11000C uses the Interbus protocol (SUPI 2) and is designed for the Modicon Momentum automation platform. The ring topology supports flexible device placement, simplifying system expansion.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a communication adaptor, consider your network size and distance requirements. For smaller networks, a lower-cost option may suffice. AutoDCSTech offers this adaptor with fast shipping and expert support to help you match the right component to your application.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If devices fail to communicate, check cable continuity and ensure the ring topology is unbroken. Verify that the total cable distance does not exceed 12800 m and that the device count per segment is within 254. Electrostatic discharge events may cause temporary glitches; ensure proper grounding of all equipment. For persistent issues, consult the Momentum system manual or contact AutoDCSTech for guidance.
