170FNT11001
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 170FNT11001 is a Fipio communication adaptor in the Modicon Momentum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It extends Modicon 170 connectivity through its onboard communication interface.
Application & Technical Notes
As a fipio communication adaptor, the 170FNT11001 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon 170 equipment is installed. It bridges the controller to higher-level networks, HMIs, SCADA and peer devices, carrying configuration, process data and diagnostics.
Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Confirm network addressing, baud/rate and topology match the rest of the system; keep firmware consistent across the cell. 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 170FNT11001, 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.
Match the protocol, connector and topology to the rest of the Modicon 170 network and to the peer devices already installed. 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 170FNT11001 is a communication module designed for FIPIO protocols. It supports a transmission rate of up to 1 Mbit/s and operates on a maintain value or fallback-to-zero fail state, enhancing reliability.
Description
| Note | The 170FNT11001 communication module from Schneider Electric is a vital component in the Modicon series. It is classified as a FIPIO communication module, enabling effective data exchange in networked environments. This module operates at a transmission speed of 1 Mbit/s, making it suitable for various applications requiring reliable communication. One of the key features of the 170FNT11001 is its fail state functionality; it can maintain its last known value or fall back to zero when necessary, ensuring system integrity during interruptions. The module operates on the FIPIO protocol and draws power from the connected I/O base, streamlining setup parameters for users. The communication module is compatible with optical fiber and shielded twisted pair cables, offering flexibility in wiring options. This device is lightweight, weighing only 0.04 kg. Each segment can accommodate up to 31 devices without the need for a repeater; by adding a repeater, this number expands to 97 devices, thereby enhancing network scalability. The topology supports either extension or tap-off cable arrangements, making it adaptable to various installation layouts. For cable lengths ranging from 1000 to 5000 meters, the module can effectively communicate over distances of up to 5000 meters. Data access follows a producer/consumer methodology, allowing efficient data sharing across connected devices. Additionally, the module is CE marked, ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory standards. |
