172JNN21032
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 172JNN21032 is a Serial Link Adapter Module in the Modicon Momentum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It is engineered for industrial automation duties within the the Schneider Electric automation portfolio ecosystem.
Application & Technical Notes
As a serial link adapter module, the 172JNN21032 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the Schneider Electric automation portfolio 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 a 5 Volts DC rating, an operating temperature range of 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 (0…60 °C); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40…85 °C. Avoid condensation — the rated humidity is 5…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 172JNN21032, 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 the Schneider Electric automation portfolio 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 172JNN21032 is a serial link adapter module designed for integration within the Modicon Momentum series. Operating on a supply voltage of 5 volts DC, it requires a current of 700 milliamperes at 12 volts DC, making it suitable for different control applications.
Description
| Note | The 172JNN21032 from Schneider Electric serves as a serial link adapter module within the Modicon Momentum line. Designed to work with a rated supply voltage of 5 Volts DC, it has a current consumption of 700 milliamperes at a voltage of 12 Volts DC. This component is capable of operating efficiently in an ambient temperature range between 0 and 60°C, provided it is kept in a non-condensing environment. Engineered with a protection class rating of IP20, this module is suited for applications where exposure to dust and moisture is limited. It relies on a lithium battery, which has an estimated lifespan of around five years, enhancing its longevity. The unit also maintains a storage temperature range of -40 to 85°C which makes it adaptable for various conditions. Communication is facilitated through RS-485 or RS-232 ports, utilizing a dedicated electrical connection via a 9-pin D-shell Modbus Plus connector. Visual status is indicated by a communication LED that helps users monitor its operational state. The unit is treated with conformal coating, providing additional protection to electronic components. With dimensions measuring 0.98 inches tall, 5.63 inches wide, and 2.37 inches deep, it is lightweight at just 0.19 pounds. Additionally, it is certified for operation at altitudes under 6,561 feet (2,000 meters), ensuring reliable performance even in elevated conditions. |
