Introduction

The Schneider Electric 170PNT71000C functions as a communication adapter within the Modicon Momentum series. This device leverages the Modbus protocol for reliable data transmission. It supports a data rate of 1 Mbit/s for efficient industrial communication. For various automation applications, the 170PNT71000C provides robust connectivity between controllers and field devices.

Technical Specifications

Communication Features

This adapter uses Modbus as its primary communication protocol for data transmission. Topology type is Daisy-Chain for simple network wiring. Port type features a SUB-D interface with 9 pins for standard connectivity. Data rate reaches 1 Mbit/s for fast and reliable data exchange. Consequently, the 170PNT71000C handles real-time communication requirements effectively.

Network Capacity

Devices per segment reach up to 31 units in a single daisy-chain. This capacity allows substantial system expansion without additional hardware. Cable length extends up to 5 km for very large facilities. Such long reach suits expansive industrial plants and remote installations. Therefore, the 170PNT71000C provides excellent flexibility for system designers.

Environmental Operating Conditions

Maximum ambient temperature for operation is 40 degrees Celsius . Minimum ambient temperature is 0 degrees Celsius for cold environments. Maximum operating humidity reaches 80% (non-condensing) for damp conditions. Storage humidity also reaches 80% (non-condensing) for warehouse storage. Maximum operating altitude reaches 1000m above sea level for high-elevation installations.

Physical Specifications

This communication adapter belongs to the Modicon Momentum series exclusively. The SUB-D 9-pin port enables seamless connectivity to standard cables. Daisy-chain topology simplifies wiring compared to star or ring networks. For the 170PNT71000C , installation requires no specialized tools or adapters.

Key Features

The Modbus protocol ensures wide compatibility with industrial equipment. A 1 Mbit/s data rate balances speed with noise immunity effectively. Daisy-chain topology reduces cabling costs significantly for large installations. Up to 31 devices per segment allows substantial network growth. Furthermore, the 170PNT71000C supports 5 km cable runs for remote device placement.

Environmental Robustness

This adapter operates between 0°C and 40°C for typical factory floors. Non-condensing humidity up to 80% handles most indoor environments. Altitude rating of 1000m suits facilities at moderate elevations. For higher altitudes, derating may apply per standard practices. Accordingly, the 170PNT71000C delivers reliable performance across diverse locations.

Installation Guidelines

Install the 170PNT71000C in a standard Momentum I/O base. First, power down the entire Momentum system before insertion. Then, connect the SUB-D 9-pin cable to the port. After that, wire subsequent devices in a daisy-chain configuration. Terminate both ends of the 5 km cable run properly. Finally, restore power and verify communication with all 31 devices.
