Overview

The 170LNT71000 is a DeviceNet 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 devicenet communication adaptor, the 170LNT71000 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.

Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C (in a non-condensing environment). 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 to 60°C (in a non-condensing environment)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 85°C (in a non-condensing environment). 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 170LNT71000, 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 170LNT71000 from Schneider Electric is a communication adapter from the Modicon Momentum series. This unit operates at transmission rates of 125, 250, and 500 kilobits per second, effectively supporting various network configurations.

Description

NoteSchneider Electric's 170LNT71000 communication adapter is integral to the Modicon Momentum series. This device is adept at achieving transmission speeds of 125, 250, and 500 kilobits per second. It operates within non-condensing environments while supporting ambient temperatures from 0 to 60°C and storage conditions from -40 to 85°C, making it suitable for diverse operational settings. The device connects in a multi-drop trunk network topology, allowing seamless communication among 0 to 64 devices within one segment. Twisted pair cables serve as the transmission medium, enabling distances for inter-device connections that can surpass 1,640.4 feet (500 meters), dependent on the transmission rate in use. The device is compliant with DeviceNet communication protocols, ensuring reliable data exchange within automation systems. Incorporating an electrical connection type featuring a single 5-pin DeviceNet connector, the 170LNT71000 efficiently interfaces with existing setups. It leverages Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) methods along with Master/Slave and peer-to-peer (P2P) access techniques for robust network interaction. Additionally, it is designed to operate effectively at altitudes below 16,404 feet (5,000 meters). Weighing just 0.15 pounds (0.07 kilograms), this communication adapter is designed for easy integration without added bulk. The unit's IP20 protection class ensures that it is safeguarded against potential environmental hazards.
