171CCC96020C Modicon Momentum Processor Adaptor

Product Introduction

The 171CCC96020C from Schneider Electric delivers a compact yet powerful control solution for distributed I/O applications. This processor adaptor mounts directly onto the Momentum I/O base, converting it into a standalone programmable controller. It supports the widely used Modbus TCP protocol over its built-in Ethernet port, ensuring seamless connectivity with host systems. Its x86-based architecture provides robust processing power. Consequently, this module is an excellent choice for demanding industrial automation tasks.

Core Technical Specifications

The 171CCC96020C operates with a 16-bit word length and a clock frequency of 50 MHz. Its CPU architecture, based on x86 technology, handles complex logic efficiently. Specifically, the unit includes a program memory of 18 KB dedicated to the LL984 programming language. Furthermore, it features a substantial 24 KB of data memory for storing operational values. The total memory configuration includes 512 KB of Flash and 544 KB of RAM, offering ample space for firmware and runtime data.

Communication and I/O Capacity

This processor excels in both communication and I/O handling. It includes one Ethernet port supporting Modbus TCP and an I/O scanner function. Meanwhile, the integrated I/O bus allows for high-speed data exchange with local modules. For discrete control, the 171CCC96020C supports up to 8,192 inputs and 8,192 outputs. Additionally, it manages an impressive 26,048 input registers and 26,048 output registers. Therefore, this processor is well-suited for applications requiring extensive data acquisition and control.

Environmental and Mechanical Specifications

Durability is a key feature of the 171CCC96020C. Its circuit boards are protected with a conformal coating of Humiseal 1A33. This protective layer shields the electronics from moisture, dust, and chemical contaminants. Moreover, the unit operates reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C. It requires a stable supply voltage of 5 VDC ±5%, which aligns with standard control system power supplies.

Installation and Mounting Guide

Mounting the 171CCC96020C is straightforward. Begin by ensuring the power supply is disconnected. Next, align the processor adaptor with the guide rails on the Momentum I/O base. Finally, press it firmly into place until the locking mechanism engages securely. Verify that all pins are correctly seated to avoid communication errors. This direct mounting method saves panel space and simplifies wiring.
