Schneider Electric 170MCI00700 Modicon Momentum Communication Module
The Schneider Electric 170MCI00700, also cataloged as the 170MCI00700 Modbus Plus Communication Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for peer-to-peer data exchange within Modicon Momentum platform architectures. It manages token-passing network traffic across shielded twisted-pair cabling to interface distributed PLC bases with control networks.

Backplane Bus Communication and Firmware Flash Compatibility
The communication interface connects directly with the Modicon Momentum backplane bus, transferring network frames between the Modbus Plus token ring and the controller logic at 1 Mbit/s. System engineers rely on high firmware flash compatibility to ensure seamless network handshakes across legacy and upgraded base assemblies. Furthermore, deterministic backplane bus communication velocity guarantees rapid packet processing while internal bus-to-logic isolation shields system electronics from network voltage surges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 170MCI00700 be disconnected from the Modicon Momentum base while powered?
A: Hot-swapping or removing the module while the base remains energized is restricted, as active electrical transients on the backplane can damage internal logic components. Always isolate power prior to extraction.
Q: How does the module handle token-passing diagnostic indication?
A: Integrated diagnostic LEDs display token rotation status, active communication, and network fault conditions in real time, allowing technicians to verify line activity directly at the panel.
Field Installation Guidelines
Mount the module directly onto the designated Modicon Momentum base, ensuring that mechanical locking clips latch completely. Connect shielded twisted-pair cables to the dual DB9 network connectors, maintaining appropriate termination resistors at both ends of the Modbus Plus trunk line. Route network cables away from high-voltage motor wires and switching drives to suppress electromagnetic noise and prevent token loss.
