Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is FIPIO protocol?

FIPIO is an industrial fieldbus protocol used for real-time communication between automation devices. The 170FNT11001 implements this protocol for Momentum systems.

What are the fail-state options?

This module can either maintain the last valid value or fall back to zero during communication failures, providing flexible safety response options.

What cable types are supported?

The module supports both optical fiber (50/125 or 62.5/125 micron) and shielded twisted pair cables, offering installation flexibility.

How many devices can connect to one segment?

Each segment supports 0-31 devices without repeaters. Using repeaters expands capacity to 0-97 devices for larger networks.

What is the producer/consumer principle?

This access method allows one device (producer) to broadcast data that multiple devices (consumers) can receive simultaneously, improving network efficiency.
