Schneider 170MCI02110 Modicon Momentum Communication Cable

Product Overview

When connecting Momentum I/O bases in industrial automation, the Schneider 170MCI02110 communication cable delivers a reliable and shielded link. Part of the Modicon Momentum series, this cable features a 20-pin male connector on one end and a 20-pin female connector on the other, ensuring secure base-to-base connections. With a typical length of 2 meters, it offers flexibility for cabinet layouts while maintaining signal integrity.

Technical Specifications

The 170MCI02110 operates at a voltage rating of 30 V and handles currents up to 1 A, making it suitable for low-power I/O communication. Its round shielded design includes foil and drain shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference. The cable uses 26 AWG copper conductors and a PVC jacket, rated for an operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C. It is RoHS compliant and uses a proprietary MODBUS/Momentum I/O interface.

Industry Applications

This cable is ideal for linking Momentum I/O bases in discrete manufacturing, process control, and material handling systems. For example, in a packaging line, the 170MCI02110 connects remote I/O modules to a central controller, ensuring reliable data transfer even in electrically noisy environments. Its shielded construction helps prevent signal degradation, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Installation & Setup Guidance

To install the 170MCI02110, align the 20-pin male connector with the female port on the Momentum I/O base and push firmly until latched. Ensure the cable is routed away from high-voltage power lines to avoid interference. The PVC jacket allows for easy bending in tight spaces, but avoid sharp kinks that could damage internal conductors.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regularly inspect the 170MCI02110 cable for wear at connector strain reliefs and along the jacket. Operating within -10°C to +60°C ensures long-term reliability. The foil and drain shielding maintains signal quality, reducing the need for replacements. For cost-effective operation, verify cable integrity during routine system checks.

Compatibility & Integration

The 170MCI02110 is designed for Modicon Momentum I/O systems using the proprietary MODBUS/Momentum I/O interface. It connects directly between Momentum I/O bases, supporting standard communication protocols. For integration, confirm that your controller and I/O modules accept 20-pin connectors and operate within the 30 V, 1 A rating.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 170MCI02110, verify your system requires a 2-meter shielded cable with 20-pin male-to-female connectors. Ensure compatibility with your Momentum I/O base models. BluePLC Industrial offers this cable with reliable availability and support for your automation needs.
