Schneider 170XTS04200 Modicon Momentum Shunt Plug for Reliable Connectivity

Solving Connectivity Challenges in Harsh Industrial Environments

In a busy manufacturing plant, intermittent signal loss on an RS485 multi-master network can halt production and lead to costly downtime. The Schneider 170XTS04200 shunt plug addresses this by providing a robust, CE-certified termination solution for Modicon Momentum and Quantum automation platforms. Designed for natural cooling and rated for temperatures from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, this component ensures stable operation even in demanding conditions.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 170XTS04200 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

Its compact size (0.79 x 4.92 x 7.48 inches) and lightweight design (8.0 grams) allow easy integration into existing Modicon Momentum I/O bases. The CE certification ensures compliance with European safety standards, making it suitable for global installations.

Installation & Setup Guidance

When installing the 170XTS04200, ensure the ambient temperature remains between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius and humidity stays below 95% non-condensing. Use natural cooling only; no forced air is required. The plug is designed for altitudes up to 1000m above sea level. For best results, mount it securely in the designated shunt plug slot on the Momentum base.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the shunt plug for signs of corrosion or physical damage, especially in high-humidity environments. The 95% non-condensing humidity rating indicates robust moisture resistance, but regular checks ensure long-term reliability. No specific cleaning agents are recommended; simply wipe with a dry cloth if needed.

Compatibility & Integration

The 170XTS04200 is compatible with both Modicon Momentum and Modicon Quantum automation platforms. It serves as an RS485 multi-master RJ45 shunt plug, sold in sets of two. This accessory ensures proper network termination, reducing signal reflections and improving communication integrity.
