170FNT11001

The 170FNT11001 communication module from Schneider Electric is a vital component in the Modicon series. It is classified as a FIPIO communication module, enabling effective data exchange in networked environments. This module operates at a transmission speed of 1 Mbit/s, making it suitable for various applications requiring reliable communication.

One of the key features of the 170FNT11001 is its fail state functionality; it can maintain its last known value or fall back to zero when necessary, ensuring system integrity during interruptions. The module operates on the FIPIO protocol and draws power from the connected I/O base, streamlining setup parameters for users.

The communication module is compatible with optical fiber and shielded twisted pair cables, offering flexibility in wiring options. This device is lightweight, weighing only 0.04 kg. Each segment can accommodate up to 31 devices without the need for a repeater; by adding a repeater, this number expands to 97 devices, thereby enhancing network scalability. The topology supports either extension or tap-off cable arrangements, making it adaptable to various installation layouts.

For cable lengths ranging from 1000 to 5000 meters, the module can effectively communicate over distances of up to 5000 meters. Data access follows a producer/consumer methodology, allowing efficient data sharing across connected devices. Additionally, the module is CE marked, ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory standards.
