The Schneider Electric 170BNP67100 serves as a dedicated communication interface module within the Modicon Momentum family. Specifically, it bridges the gap between controllers and field devices using the Modbus Plus protocol. Furthermore, this module integrates seamlessly with TSX Momentum I/O bases for unified system architecture. Meanwhile, its low current draw of 200 mA minimizes power supply loading. Consequently, the 170BNP67100 offers an energy-efficient solution for industrial networking.
This interface module supports a maximum baud rate of 1 Mbps for rapid data transfer. For physical connectivity, it provides a single DB9 Female connector. Additionally, the 170BNP67100 operates on a 5 VDC supply voltage, which is commonly available in most control cabinets. Moreover, it consumes only 200 mA during normal operation. Besides its primary communication role, the unit includes built-in LED status indicators for real-time diagnostics. Therefore, technicians can quickly verify network activity and fault conditions without external tools.
The Schneider 170BNP67100 functions reliably across a defined temperature spectrum. Its operational range spans from 0°C to +60°C, accommodating most indoor industrial settings. However, it is not rated for sub-zero start-up conditions. For storage, the module tolerates ambient conditions typical of spare parts warehouses. Furthermore, the device carries an IP20 enclosure rating. This designation protects against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, such as fingers or tools. Nevertheless, it offers no water or dust ingress protection, so install it inside a clean, dry control cabinet.
Mounting the 170BNP67100 requires minimal effort and standard tools. First, secure a 35 mm DIN rail inside your enclosure. Next, clip the module onto the rail until the retaining latch engages positively. Its lightweight construction, approximately 0.35 kg, reduces mechanical stress on the mounting rail. Meanwhile, the compact footprint leaves ample space for cable routing and other components. Specifically, connect the Modbus Plus network cable to the DB9 Female port using a properly shielded cable assembly. Finally, verify the supply voltage is stable at 5 VDC before powering up the system.
Safety and quality certifications validate the reliability of the 170BNP67100. This module holds CE marking for European market compliance. Additionally, it carries UL recognition for North American installations. Moreover, CSA certification further confirms its adherence to Canadian electrical standards. Therefore, you can deploy the 170BNP67100 in projects requiring international regulatory approval. Consequently, this simplifies system validation and reduces project documentation burdens.
Each 170BNP67100 unit is packaged securely to withstand typical transit conditions. The shipping carton contains the interface module and a multilingual quick-reference guide. However, it does not include interface cables, termination resistors, or mounting hardware. Meanwhile, we dispatch all orders promptly through premier global carriers. Specifically, we utilize FedEx, UPS, or DHL for worldwide deliveries. Thus, you receive reliable tracking and fully insured shipping for your automation investment.

1 x Quick Installation Guide (printed)
Q1: Is the 170BNP67100 compatible with all Modicon Momentum bases?
Yes. The 170BNP67100 is specifically designed to interface with TSX Momentum I/O bases. However, always verify your base model's power budget to accommodate the 200 mA draw.
Q2: What cable type works best with the DB9 connector on the 170BNP67100?
Use a shielded, twisted-pair cable with a DB9 male connector. For the 170BNP67100, maintain proper grounding and keep cable lengths within Modbus Plus specifications for reliable 1 Mbps performance.
Q3: Can the 170BNP67100 operate in outdoor environments?
No. The 170BNP67100 carries an IP20 rating and a 0°C to +60°C range, making it suitable for indoor, climate-controlled cabinets only. Outdoor use would require additional protective enclosures.
Q4: What do the LED indicators on the 170BNP67100 show?
The 170BNP67100 features LEDs for power and network status. Specifically, they indicate normal operation, active communication, and fault conditions, simplifying troubleshooting.
Q5: Does the 170BNP67100 support redundant network configurations?
No. The 170BNP67100 provides a single DB9 port for Modbus Plus connectivity. For redundant topologies, consider modules with multiple ports or external redundancy switches.
