170AEC92000
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 170AEC92000 is a High speed counter module base in the Modicon Momentum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It is engineered for industrial automation duties within the Modicon 170 ecosystem.
Application & Technical Notes
As a high speed counter module base, the 170AEC92000 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon 170 equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed Schneider Electric platform.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 32…140 °F (0…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 (32…140 °F (0…60 °C)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40…185 °F (-40…85 °C). Avoid condensation — the rated humidity is 95 % without condensation; store and operate the module in a dry, pollution-degree-appropriate enclosure. 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 170AEC92000, 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.

Description
| Note | The Schneider Electric Modicon part number 170AEC92000 is engineered for functionality and durability. It features certification from both UL and CSA, indicating adherence to rigorous safety and quality standards. Designed specifically for resilience in tropical environments, the module incorporates TC (Tropicalization Protection) to enhance its operational reliability under challenging conditions. This module supports multiple input and output connections: with six discrete inputs and four discrete outputs. The discrete outputs operate at 24V DC and incorporate a positive logic structure. Input overvoltage protection is also critical, allowing the device to handle surges of up to 45V for a duration of ten seconds without failure. Voltage operational states are clearly defined, guaranteeing a voltage state of ON when voltages reach 11V or above and ensuring an OFF state when voltages are 5V or below. Current guarantees further enhance performance, demanding a minimum of 2.5 mA for an ON response while cutting off at 1.2 mA for an OFF state. Furthermore, the presence of two counters grants flexibility for varied applications. Overall, the 170AEC92000 module is designed to ensure precision, stability, and adaptability in industrial automation tasks. |
