170PNT11020C | Schneider Electric Communication Adapter

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric 170PNT11020C is a specialized communication adapter for the Modicon Momentum automation platform. This module enables reliable data exchange across industrial networks using the Modbus Plus protocol. It delivers a fast transmission rate of 1 Mbit/s, which ensures efficient communication between controllers and field devices. Furthermore, its multidrop topology supports up to 31 devices per segment, providing excellent scalability for growing systems.

This adapter also offers extensive cabling reach. It can cover a maximum cable length of 5,000 meters, which gives you significant flexibility when planning facility layouts. Meanwhile, the SUB-D9 connector provides a standard and secure electrical interface. The built-in LED indicators offer clear visual feedback for quick status checks.

Technical Specifications

The 170PNT11020C delivers strong technical performance across multiple parameters. First, its 1 Mbit/s transmission rate ensures rapid data movement across the network. Additionally, the multidrop topology allows you to connect multiple devices along a single communication line. For instance, you can daisy-chain up to 31 devices within one segment.

Here are the key technical parameters:

• Communication Protocol: Modbus Plus

• Transmission Rate: 1 Mbit/s

• Topology: Multidrop

• Devices Per Segment: 0 to 31

• Maximum Cable Length: 5,000 m

• Electrical Connection: SUB-D9

• Local Signaling: LED indicators

Environmental & Mechanical Specifications

The 170PNT11020C performs reliably under various environmental conditions. For instance, its operating humidity tolerance reaches up to 80% non-condensing, which suits many factory and control room settings. Moreover, storage humidity also accepts up to 80% non-condensing, ensuring safe preservation during inventory periods.

Regarding altitude, this adapter operates effectively up to 1,000 meters above sea level. Therefore, it works well in most industrial locations, including elevated installations. The module carries an IP20 protection rating, which means it suits indoor cabinet mounting. Additionally, it resists electromagnetic interference up to 8 kV, protecting signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Installation & Setup Guide

Installing the 170PNT11020C follows a straightforward process. First, mount the adapter securely inside a control cabinet or on a DIN rail. Next, connect the SUB-D9 connector to the communication cable linking to your Modbus Plus network. Then, attach the power supply to the appropriate terminals.

After completing the physical connections, power on the system. The LED indicators will light up to show the device status. For instance, a steady green light typically indicates normal operation. Finally, configure the network parameters using your programming software to match your system requirements.
