Schneider Electric Fipio Communication Adapter 170FNT11001

Product Description

170FNT11001 (Part Number: 170FNT11001) is a specialized communication adapter for the Modicon Momentum distributed I/O system. It acts as a bridge between Momentum I/O bases and the Fipio fieldbus network, enabling seamless communication with Premium or Quantum PLC systems. Its modular "plug-on" design allows direct mounting onto any Momentum I/O base, converting local I/O into a high-speed network node.

Engineered for efficiency in decentralized environments, the unit manages all protocol handling and data exchange over the Fipio bus. Integrated rotary switches simplify hardware addressing, while LED indicators provide real-time status monitoring of network health and module operation.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios
