Technical Specifications

Description

The Schneider 170INT11003 adapter is built to handle large industrial communication networks with ease. It supports Master/Slave configuration and ensures smooth data transmission with Continuous Shift Register access. With the ability to link up to 254 devices per segment, this adapter is highly scalable for extensive automation networks.

Operating on the Interbus Generation SUPI III protocol, the 170INT11003 offers exceptional communication reliability, even in demanding environments. The device can manage a maximum cable length of 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) between devices, and 400 meters (1,312 feet) between two modules, ensuring flexibility in system design.

The adapter operates with a low power dissipation of 0.8 watts, promoting energy efficiency. Its 500 kilobits per second transmission rate enables fast data transfer, which is crucial for real-time industrial applications. The IP20 protection class ensures basic protection against solid foreign objects.

This device performs reliably within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 60°C and can endure high altitudes of up to 5,000 meters (16,404 feet). It connects via two 9-pin D-Sub connectors, ensuring strong and stable communication links. Additionally, the Schneider 170INT11003 adapter can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

To ensure data integrity, the device uses CRC-16 for control parameter verification. The ring network topology allows for continuous data flow and reduces the risk of communication failures. Finally, the use of twisted pair cables enhances the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), minimizing interference.
