Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is the main function of this controller? It acts as the local intelligence for a Momentum I/O station, handling data exchange and basic control logic.
• What network does it communicate on? It primarily communicates on a Modbus Plus network, acting as a slave to a master PLC.
• Can it handle analog signals? Yes, but not directly. It can manage analog I/O by interfacing with dedicated analog expansion modules added to the same base.
• How is it programmed or configured? Configuration is done via the RS-232 service port using Schneider Electric software and a special adapter cable.
• Is it a standalone PLC? No, it is a distributed I/O controller designed to be part of a larger automation system controlled by a master PLC (e.g., Modicon Quantum, Premium).

Applications

• Acting as a remote I/O drop for a central Modicon PLC in factory automation.
• Machine control where local intelligence is needed for fast I/O processing and communication with a supervisory system.
• Distributed control applications in material handling, packaging, and process skids.
