Schneider Electric 170INT11000 Communication Adapter

The Schneider Electric Modicon Momentum Interbus communication adaptor (twisted pair) 170INT11000 is a dedicated interface that lets Momentum I/O bases connect to an Interbus network for distributed I/O communication. It uses two D-sub DE-9 connectors to carry Interbus signals, is rated IP20, and is designed for 0°C to 60°C operation in industrial environments. The device carries CE certification and is also CSA, UL and FM Class 1 Division 2 certified, aligning with harsh plant safety requirements. Lifecycle notes show end-of-commercialization on December 1, 2027, with standard service ending December 31, 2035, after which spare parts and repairs are still supported per Schneider Electric policies. For future-proofing, Schneider recommends replacing it with a Network Interface Module plus Base and Termination for EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP at 100 Mbps, using two RJ45 ports, packaged in the Modicon Edge I/O family (NTSNEC1200K). In practice, the 170INT11000 enables Momentum controllers to integrate Interbus-S networks with Momentum I/O bases, supporting reliable, real-time data exchange in automation architectures.
