Expert Review
The 170ENT11001 is a solid choice for Modicon Momentum users. It offers dual-speed Ethernet. Setup is easy with BOOTP. The IP20 rating suits clean cabinets. CRC-32 adds data safety. It handles up to 32 nodes per segment. The 1,000-meter range gives layout freedom. However, this adapter is not for harsh washdown areas. But for standard factory networks, it works well. It is a reliable, no-fuss Ethernet bridge.
Manager’s Insight
Most customers buy this module to add Ethernet to older Momentum racks. It solves the “no network port” problem fast. The 10/100 Mbit/s auto-negotiation saves time. We see low return rates. The main mistake is forgetting the BOOTP server. Buy this if you need simple TCP/IP connectivity. Skip it if you need IP67 or wireless. For the price, it is a cost-effective upgrade.
Best Fit Devices and Applications
- Modicon Momentum PLC racks
- Factory automation cells
- SCADA networks
- Peer-to-peer controller links
- Star or multi-drop Ethernet topologies
- Industrial control panels with IP20 environment
- Legacy systems needing Ethernet TCP/IP
FAQ
Q: What is the main function of this module?
A: It connects Modicon Momentum devices to an Ethernet TCP/IP network.
Q: Can I use it outside?
A: No. It has IP20 protection. Use it in a clean, dry cabinet.
Q: How do I assign an IP address?
A: Use a BOOTP server. You can also assign a static IP.
Q: What is the maximum cable length?
A: The limit is 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) between devices.
Q: How many devices can share one segment?
A: You can connect 0 to 32 devices per segment.
Q: Does it come with a power supply?
A: No. You need to provide power separately.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: We ship in 12–24 hours via FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
Q: Is there a warranty?
A: Yes. 12-month warranty is included.
Q: I have never used BOOTP. Is it hard?
A: It is easy. Most engineers set it up in under 10 minutes.
Q: What if I need a different protocol?
A: This module only supports Ethernet TCP/IP. Look for other models for Modbus Plus or Profibus.
Q: Can I use a standard patch cable?
A: Use shielded twisted pair cable for best noise immunity.
Q: How do I know it is working?
A: Check the 4 LEDs. Three green and one yellow show link, activity, and errors.
