It enables connection between various devices in industrial systems. The adaptor supports a high transmission rate of 500 kbit/s. Consequently, it provides fast and reliable data exchange.

Network Specifications

Transmission Medium and Topology
The 170INT11000C uses twisted pair as the transmission support medium. The topology is ring-based for flexible network structure. Therefore, the adaptor fits various system architectures.

Device Capacity
The number of devices per segment ranges from 0 to 254. This high capacity makes the 170INT11000C suitable for extensive system architectures. As a result, it supports large-scale industrial applications.

Cable Distance
The maximum cable distance between modules reaches 12,800 meters. This impressive range provides significant coverage for large installations. Consequently, the 170INT11000C suits distributed systems across wide areas.

Communication Protocol

The 170INT11000C uses Interbus generation SUPI 2 protocol. This protocol ensures efficient and deterministic communication. The transmission rate is fixed at 500 kbit/s. Therefore, the adaptor delivers consistent performance for critical applications.

Protection and Environmental Resistance

IP Rating
The 170INT11000C has a protection class of IP20. This guards against solid particle ingress larger than 12 mm. Therefore, it is suitable for control cabinet installation.

Conformal Coating
The board features conformal coating with Humiseal 1A33 TC. This protective treatment resists moisture and contaminants. Consequently, the 170INT11000C operates reliably in humid environments.

Electrical Resilience
The adaptor demonstrates resistance to electrostatic discharges up to 8 kV. It also resists electromagnetic fields of 10 V/m. Therefore, the 170INT11000C performs reliably in challenging electrical environments.

Operating Altitude
The unit functions effectively at altitudes up to 5000 meters. This high-altitude capability suits installations in mountainous regions. Consequently, the 170INT11000C is versatile for global deployment.

Fail-Safe Operation

The 170INT11000C operates in a fail-safe mode. This increases robustness under adverse conditions. Therefore, the adaptor ensures stable performance even during network disturbances. The fail state is configured as fail-safe for predictable behavior.

Physical Specifications

Weight
The 170INT11000C net weight is 0.07 kg (0.15 lb). This lightweight design simplifies installation and mounting.

Marking
The 170INT11000C carries CE marking. Therefore, it complies with European Union safety and environmental standards.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting
First, mount the 170INT11000C on a standard DIN rail. Ensure the rail is securely attached to the panel. The compact size allows installation in crowded cabinets.

Wiring
Next, connect the twisted pair cables to the Interbus ports. Follow the ring topology for proper network operation. Maintain the correct polarity for all connections. Keep communication cables away from high voltage power lines.

Device Configuration
Then, configure the 170INT11000C using compatible software. Set the device address within the 0 to 254 range. Verify the transmission rate matches other Interbus devices (500 kbit/s). Test the network before placing the system into service.

Altitude Considerations
For installations above 2000 meters, derating may apply. However, the 170INT11000C operates up to 5000 meters. Always verify proper cooling at high altitudes.
