Schneider 170INT11003C Modicon Momentum Communication Adapter

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 170INT11003C are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications and Use Cases

The ring topology provides inherent redundancy; if a single cable breaks, the network can still communicate via the alternate path. The fail-safe feature ensures that outputs go to a predefined safe state upon communication loss, critical for safety-related processes. With 254 devices per segment, engineers can design large-scale control systems without segmenting the network excessively.

Installation and Setup Guidance

When installing the 170INT11003C, mount it in a clean, dry enclosure with IP20 or better protection. Use SUB-D 9 connectors and shielded twisted-pair cable to maintain signal integrity over the full 12,800 m distance. Configure the ring topology by connecting both SUB-D ports to adjacent devices in a closed loop. Verify that the transmission rate of 500 kbit/s matches the settings of all connected devices. The LED indicator provides immediate visual confirmation of power and communication status.

Maintenance and Reliability

The module's IP20 rating makes it suitable for indoor control cabinets. Periodic inspection of the LED status and connector tightness is recommended. The unit's resistance to electromagnetic fields (10 V/m) and electrostatic discharge (4 kV/8 kV) ensures stable operation in electrically noisy environments. No special cleaning or calibration is required beyond standard industrial practices.

Reliable Communication for Modicon Momentum Networks

The Schneider Electric 170INT11003C communication adapter is engineered to serve as the backbone of Modicon Momentum distributed control systems. In industrial environments where data integrity and deterministic communication are critical, this adapter delivers a robust solution. It supports a transmission rate of 500 kbit/s within a ring topology, enabling seamless integration of up to 254 devices per segment. The maximum cable distance of 12,800 meters provides extensive coverage for large-scale installations, reducing the need for additional repeaters.

Compatibility and Integration

It uses the standard SUB-D 9 physical interface common in many industrial networks. The ring topology is compatible with Momentum's native communication protocols. For systems requiring high device counts, this adapter supports up to 254 nodes per segment without additional hardware.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
