Schneider 170BNO67100 Modicon Momentum Interbus Module

Schneider Electric 170BNO67100 Modicon Momentum Discrete Output Module with Interbus Interface

The Schneider Electric 170BNO67100, also cataloged as the 170BNO67100 Discrete Output Module with Interbus Interface, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-density digital signal actuation and branch-level communication within Modicon Momentum network architectures.

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Bus Communication and I/O Density Scaling

The module interfaces directly with the Modicon Momentum backplane bus while integrating an Interbus SUPI 2 branch interface for network communications. Engineers leverage its high I/O density scaling design to pack 32 transistor sourcing outputs into a single compact housing. Furthermore, deterministic backplane bus communication velocity and firmware flash compatibility ensure minimal propagation delay and precise signal synchronization across distributed field actuators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 170BNO67100 be hot-swapped while the Momentum base remains energized?

A: Hot-swapping is restricted while system power and field voltage are active, as electrical transients can damage internal transistor switching components. Always isolate power prior to module extraction.

Q: How does the module handle overcurrent conditions on the transistor outputs?

A: The module's internal circuitry monitors output currents, protecting the solid-state switches against thermal overloads when driving external inductive loads.

Field Installation Guidelines

Mount the module securely onto a standard DIN rail or Momentum baseplate, ensuring mechanical locking latches engage fully. Route 24 VDC power and low-voltage signal lines away from high-voltage alternating current conduits to suppress electromagnetic induction. Terminate cable shields properly to protective earth to preserve signal integrity across the output loops.
