170FNT11001 (Part Number: 170FNT11001) is a specialized communication adapter for the Modicon Momentum distributed I/O system. It acts as a bridge between Momentum I/O bases and the Fipio fieldbus network, enabling seamless communication with Premium or Quantum PLC systems. Its modular "plug-on" design allows direct mounting onto any Momentum I/O base, converting local I/O into a high-speed network node.
Engineered for efficiency in decentralized environments, the unit manages all protocol handling and data exchange over the Fipio bus. Integrated rotary switches simplify hardware addressing, while LED indicators provide real-time status monitoring of network health and module operation.

The 170FNT11001 is ideal for legacy system expansions and modernization projects that rely on Fipio networks. Typical applications include:
Textile machinery
Material handling systems
Automotive assembly lines
It provides modular, space-saving I/O points distributed over long distances (up to 1000 m without repeaters).
Q: Can this adapter be used with any Momentum base?
A: Yes, it is compatible with all digital and analog I/O bases within the Momentum range.
Q: Is external power required for the adapter?
A: No, it draws power directly from the I/O base it is mounted on.
Q: What cable type is required?
A: Standard Fipio shielded twisted-pair cables with SUB-D 9-pin connectors.
