170AAI03000
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 170AAI03000 is an Analogue input base in the Modicon Momentum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It provides 8 channels and is built for signal interfacing within Modicon 170 systems.
Application & Technical Notes
As an analogue input base, the 170AAI03000 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon 170 equipment is installed. It converts field signals (sensors, switches, transmitters) into the digital or analogue values the controller processes, forming the acquisition layer of the automation scheme.
Key published characteristics include 8 channels, an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (0°C to 60°C); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within Range -40°C to 85°C. Verify field wiring, shielding and grounding at installation; check terminal torque and confirm signal types match the configured range. Periodically inspect for loose terminations, induced noise and channel-level diagnostics reported by the controller. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the 170AAI03000, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine Schneider Electric stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm the module matches your Modicon 170 rack, the required channel count, signal type and voltage, and the firmware/configuration of the controller. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications
The Schneider Electric 170AAI03000 is designed as an analog input base capable of handling eight differential channels. It supports a 16-bit signed data format and has a conversion time of 12 ms.
Description
| Note | For applications requiring precise analog data handling, the 170AAI03000 from Schneider Electric presents an analog input base specifically developed for the Modicon Momentum series. This device features eight channels configured for differential analog inputs, accommodating complex measurements with accuracy. With a data format of full 16 bits signed integers, it ensures capable data representation. The conversion time is set at 12 milliseconds, enabling rapid processing of signal changes. Isolation ratings enhance operation and safety, providing 200 volts DC isolation between channels for one minute, while maintaining 500 volts AC between the channels and both ground and bus connections for one minute as well. Temperature is a critical performance factor. This analog input base can function within a temperature range from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, and it withstands storage temperatures spanning from -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius. Designed for environments with high humidity, it can tolerate maximum relative humidity levels of 95% without condensing. Further enhancing its resilience, the module incorporates internal protection against reverse polarity, safeguarding against wiring errors. With these specifications, the Schneider Electric 170AAI03000 provides a reliable solution for analog input needs in diverse industrial applications. |
