Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main purpose of the 170INT11000 module?

This module acts as the communication bridge for Modicon Momentum PLCs. It connects them to an Interbus network for controlling I/O and other devices.

What is the maximum distance between two modules?

You can space two modules up to 1,312 feet (400 meters) apart using standard twisted-pair cable.

Is this adapter suitable for harsh industrial environments?

With its IP20 rating and wide operating temperature range, it fits standard industrial control panels well. Avoid direct exposure to water or excessive moisture.

How do I choose the right communication module for my Momentum system?

If your existing factory network uses the Interbus protocol, the 170INT11000 is the correct choice for integrating your Momentum controller.

From an experience standpoint, what is a key setup tip?

Always ensure the ring topology is properly closed and terminated. A break in the ring will stop network communication for all downstream devices.
