Product Overview

The Schneider Electric 170FNT11001 functions as a high-performance Fipio communication adapter for the Modicon Momentum distributed I/O platform. This module enables Momentum I/O bases to interface directly with Fipio fieldbus architectures—a WorldFIP-based standard utilized extensively by Premium and Quantum PLC systems. Its modular "plug-on" design transforms standard digital or analog I/O points into intelligent, decentralized network nodes. We supply this module as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring high-speed data integrity across your industrial installation.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Deterministic Data Exchange: The 170FNT11001 handles 1 Mbps transmission rates with the timing precision required for synchronized industrial processes. This ensures consistent communication cycles between the remote Momentum I/O and the central PLC processor.

• Decentralized Intelligence: By offloading protocol management to the adapter, the module reduces the computational burden on the main controller. This distributed approach simplifies system scalability and improves overall network response times.

• Rapid Hardware Addressing: Two integrated decimal rotary switches allow for immediate station address assignment (01–63). This manual configuration eliminates the need for complex software setup during initial installation or field replacement.

• Tool-Free "Plug-On" Mounting: The module snaps directly onto any digital or analog Momentum I/O base. This modular architecture allows engineers to swap communication protocols (e.g., from Interbus or Modbus to Fipio) without rewiring the field-side I/O terminals.

• Comprehensive Diagnostics: A three-LED array provides real-time feedback on module health, configuration errors, and network traffic activity. These visual cues allow maintenance teams to isolate bus faults or station errors instantly, minimizing system downtime.

FAQs

How do I set the station address on the 170FNT11001?

Use the two decimal rotary switches located on the module. These switches allow you to set a unique station address from 01 to 63. Ensure the address matches your PLC network configuration to prevent communication conflicts.

Does this module require an external power supply?

No. The 170FNT11001 draws its required power (up to 350 mA) directly from the Momentum I/O base it is mounted upon. This simplifies cabinet wiring and reduces the number of required power components.

Which PLCs are compatible with this Fipio adapter?

The 170FNT11001 integrates Momentum I/O into Fipio networks typically mastered by Schneider Electric Premium (TSX 57) or Quantum (140) PLC systems. It utilizes the standard WorldFIP communication profile.

Is this 170FNT11001 unit brand new?

Yes. We guarantee this unit is 100% Brand New and Original in its factory packaging. Every module includes a 12-month factory warranty, ensuring complete protection against the risks of used or surplus equipment.
