Schneider 170FNT11001 Fipio Communication Adaptor for Advantys STB

The Schneider 170FNT11001 connects Advantys STB I/O islands to Fipio fieldbus networks. You can mount this adaptor directly onto a DIN rail inside the control cabinet. It bridges the internal backplane with high-speed Fipio communication systems. This adaptor suits distributed I/O applications in factory automation.

Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout

The Schneider 170FNT11001 measures 100 mm in height. Its width reaches 85 mm, and the depth equals 60 mm. The Schneider 170FNT11001 weighs approximately 0.28 kilograms. A single internal PCB holds all bus interface and isolation circuits. The adaptor contains no energy storage capacitors or batteries. One 9-pin D-sub connector provides the Fipio network interface. Two RJ45 ports serve as the internal bus connection to I/O modules. Four status LEDs indicate power, communication, and fault conditions.

Communication Performance and Addressing

The Schneider 170FNT11001 supports Fipio baud rates up to 1 Mbit/s. It handles up to 32 I/O modules on the internal Advantys STB bus. This adaptor transfers 64 bytes of input and 64 bytes of output data per scan. Consequently, it supports small to medium distributed I/O networks effectively. You can set the station address using rotary switches on the module. Valid addresses range from 1 to 127 for flexible network integration. Galvanic isolation separates the Fipio side from the internal bus logic.

Installation and Diagnostic Features

You must mount the Schneider 170FNT11001 on a DIN rail using the integral clips. Transitioning to wiring, use shielded Fipio cables for optimal noise immunity. The adaptor includes built-in termination resistors for end-of-line configuration. Four front LEDs show bus communication status, power, and module health. A watchdog timer resets the communication after 500 ms of inactivity. The operating temperature range spans from 0°C to 60°C reliably.
