I/O bases
A specialized Modicon Momentum I/O base supports the rest of the control system.
The communication adapter 2, processor adapter and option adapter all snap onto the
I/O base 1. A selection of I/O base modules are available, including analog I/O,
discrete I/O, multi-function analog and bi-directional discrete bases. In addition,
Modicon Momentum I/O bases offer simple plug-in terminal strips, as well as
standard 35 mm DIN rail or panel mounting, for ease of maintenance and installation.
Modicon Momentum processors adapters 3 and option adapters 4 (1)
When local distributed intelligence is required at the point of control, Modicon Momentum
has the answer. The Modicon Momentum M1 processor adapter 3 is a full edged PLC
containing a CPU, RAM and Flash memory. It is based on the popular Modicon family of
PLCs (i.e., directly compatible with Quantum
™
, Compact
™
and 984
™
PLCs), and snaps
onto the Modicon Momentum I/O base 1, just like the communication adapter 2.
The option adapter 4 provides the processor adapter with additional networking
capabilities, a time-of-day clock, and a battery back-up. The option adapter also
snaps onto the I/O base. In the gure below,the processor adapter is stacked on top.
Optional conformal coating
If your control system needs to operate in a corrosive environment, selected
Modicon Momentum modules can be ordered with a conformal coating applied to
components of the product. Conformal coating will extend product life and enhance
its environmental and performance capabilities.
See pages 100 and 101.
Enhanced grounding system
Due to new In t e r Bu s standards for electrical noise immunity, a number of Modicon
Momentum products have been updated to include an enhanced grounding system.
This system is required to meet the revised electrical noise immunity standard
(ability to pass a 2.2 kV electrical fast transient burst test).
See page 102 for a list of Modicon Momentum products that currently have been
updated to include the new grounding system.
