The Model 170 ENT 110 00 and 170 ENT 110 01 Ethernet Communication Adapters
for the Momentum I/O product line provide a direct connection to Ethernet-based
networks for the entire family of Momentum I/O modules. This connectivity enables
communications with a full range of Ethernet TCP/IP compatible control products that
includes programmable controllers, industrial computers, motion controllers,
operator control stations, host computers, and other controls. This communication
network provides a flexible, cost-effective solution for communicating factory floor
information to various layers of an integrated manufacturing facility.
The 100Base-TX Ethernet Communication Adapter, the 170 ENT 110 01 (and the
10Base-T adapter, the 170 ENT 110 00) are single adapters designed to plug on to
any of the Momentum Input/Output module bases, and conforms to the requirements
of the Ethernet Communication Network.
The Ethernet IP addressing scheme allows an unlimited number of Momentum I/O
modules or connections on the network. Using standard Ethernet hubs, routers, and
bridges, the performance and distance capability of the Ethernet network can be
tailored to meet the requirements of almost any control application.
The Ethernet Communication Adapter uses the standard Modbus message structure
and control commands over the TCP/IP protocol, which simplifies implementation by
control engineers while providing information that can be communicated over
standard network media to all enterprise applications.
Since Modbus on TCP/IP over Ethernet is supported by Schneider's Quantum and
Premium controller families, Momentum I/O can be added to existing control systems
where additional I/O capacity of a distributed I/O sub-network is needed.
The Ethernet Communication Adapter requires connection to a BOOTP server for
setting the module's IP parameters, including its own unique IP address, default
gateway, and sub-net mask, all of which is stored in the communication adapter's
flash memory. Schneider Electric's automation business offers BOOTP Lite Ethernet
software as a free download from the automation Internet web site,
www.schneiderautomation.com.
The 170 ENT 110 0p Ethernet Communication Adapters comprises on the front
panel:
1 Ethernet connector for 100Base-TX interface (170 ENT 110 01) or 10Base-T
interface (170 ENT 110 00) interface (RJ45),
2 Area for Label (label shipped with I/O base),
3 LED Status Indicators comprising for the 170 ENT 110 00:
- Run (green), module health,
- LAN Active (green), Ethernet network status.
LED Status Indicators comprising for the 170 ENT 110 01:
- Run (green), module health,
- 10T (green), 10 Mbps network activity,
- 100T (amber), 100 Mbps network activity,
- ST (green), Ethernet network status.
