Schneider 171CCC98020 Modicon Momentum Processor Adaptor Module

Product Overview

When industrial networks demand reliable communication between controllers and field devices, the Schneider 171CCC98020 delivers a robust solution. Part of the Modicon Momentum series, this processor adaptor module integrates Ethernet and Modbus support to streamline data exchange in automation systems. Built-in RAM ensures efficient processing of control logic and communication tasks, making it a versatile choice for system integrators and plant engineers.

Technical Specifications

The 171CCC98020 operates within a temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, suitable for controlled industrial environments. It functions reliably at altitudes up to 1000 meters above sea level without derating, maintaining consistent performance under typical conditions. The module tolerates operating humidity up to 80% RH without condensation, and storage humidity up to 80% RH without condensation, enhancing its durability in humid settings. Weighing only 0.19 lbs (0.09 kg), it is lightweight and easy to install in compact cabinets.

Industry Applications

In manufacturing facilities, the 171CCC98020 serves as a communication bridge between programmable logic controllers and higher-level supervisory systems. Its Ethernet connectivity enables real-time data collection and remote monitoring, while Modbus protocol support ensures compatibility with legacy equipment. For building automation, this module integrates HVAC controls and energy management systems into a unified network, reducing wiring complexity and improving system responsiveness.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the 171CCC98020 on a standard DIN rail within the control panel, ensuring adequate airflow around the module. Connect the Ethernet cable to the designated port and verify network settings before powering up. For Modbus networks, configure the protocol parameters according to your system architecture. Always follow Schneider Electric's installation guidelines to prevent communication errors.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the module's environmental conditions helps extend service life. Keep ambient temperature between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius and humidity below 80% RH without condensation. Check for dust accumulation on ventilation slots and clean gently with dry compressed air if needed. The CE marking indicates compliance with applicable European standards, supporting reliable operation in regulated industries.

Compatibility & Integration

The 171CCC98020 integrates seamlessly with Modicon Momentum I/O modules and controllers. Its dual-protocol support (Ethernet and Modbus) allows connection to a wide range of PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems. For mixed-vendor environments, the Modbus protocol ensures interoperability with devices from other manufacturers, simplifying system expansion.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify that your control system requires a processor adaptor module with Ethernet and Modbus capabilities. Confirm the operating environment stays within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
