Real-World Applications
In large-scale manufacturing facilities, the Schneider 170INT11000C ensures reliable data exchange between PLCs and remote I/O modules. Its long cable distance of 12,800 meters reduces the need for repeaters. The fail-safe mode protects against network disruptions, maintaining production continuity.
Another application is in warehouse automation systems where the ring topology provides redundancy. The high device capacity allows expansion without major reconfiguration.
Installation Guidance
Install the 170INT11000C in a clean, dry environment (IP20). Use twisted pair cables and adhere to the ring topology. Ensure cable distances between modules do not exceed 12,800 m. The device is lightweight (0.07 kg) and can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel.
Reliability and Maintenance
The Schneider 170INT11000C is built to withstand harsh conditions. It resists electrostatic discharges up to 8 kV and electromagnetic fields of 10 V/m. The conformal coating (Humiseal 1A33) protects against moisture and contaminants. Operating altitude up to 5000 m suits high-altitude installations. Regular inspection of cable connections and environmental conditions ensures long-term reliability.
Purchasing Considerations
When selecting the 170INT11000C, verify compatibility with your Interbus generation SUPI 2 network. The device is CE marked and comes in a package weighing 193 g. For genuine parts and expert support, choose UBEST Automation. Contact ubest101 for bulk pricing and availability.
