Schneider 170XTS04200 Modicon Momentum Shunt Plug - CE Certified

Product Introduction

When your Modicon Momentum automation system requires reliable connectivity, the Schneider 170XTS04200 shunt plug delivers consistent performance in demanding industrial environments. This CE-certified accessory from Schneider Electric is part of the Modicon Momentum product line, designed specifically for RS485 multi-master RJ45 shunt plug applications. Its compact form factor and lightweight construction make it easy to integrate into existing setups without adding significant bulk or weight.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The 170XTS04200 shunt plug measures 0.79 inches in height, 4.92 inches in width, and 7.48 inches in length, with a weight of just 8.0 grams. It operates reliably in ambient temperatures from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments. The device supports up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) and can function at altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level. Natural cooling eliminates the need for additional fans or cooling systems, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance requirements.

Industry Applications

The 170XTS04200 is ideal for use in manufacturing plants, process control systems, and building automation where Modicon Momentum or Quantum platforms are deployed. Its CE compliance ensures it meets European safety and performance standards, providing peace of mind for system integrators and maintenance teams. The shunt plug's robust environmental ratings allow it to perform consistently in both temperature-controlled facilities and harsher conditions, such as those found in automotive assembly lines or food processing plants.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Installing the 170XTS04200 is straightforward. Simply insert the shunt plug into the designated RJ45 port on your Modicon Momentum base or processor. Ensure the ambient temperature stays within the 0 to 60 degrees Celsius range and that humidity remains below 95% non-condensing. The plug's natural cooling design means no additional airflow is required, but avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Verify the altitude does not exceed 1000 meters for optimal performance.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the 170XTS04200 is recommended to ensure secure connections and clean contacts. The shunt plug's CE certification reflects its adherence to rigorous quality standards, contributing to long-term reliability in continuous operation environments. Because it relies on natural cooling, there are no moving parts to wear out, reducing the likelihood of failure. Periodic checks of ambient conditions—temperature, humidity, and altitude—help maintain the device's specified performance over its service life.

Compatibility & Integration

The 170XTS04200 is compatible with both the Modicon Momentum automation platform and the Modicon Quantum automation platform. It is sold in a set of two, making it convenient for installations requiring multiple shunt plugs. As an RS485 multi-master RJ45 shunt plug, it integrates seamlessly with Momentum processors and I/O bases, ensuring reliable communication in distributed control architectures. Always verify compatibility with your specific system configuration before ordering.
