170FNT11001

The 170FNT11001 is a high‑performance FIPIO fieldbus communication adapter for the Schneider Electric Modicon Momentum distributed I/O system. It connects Momentum I/O bases to a FIPIO (WorldFIP‑based) network, supporting both shielded twisted pair (STP) and optical fiber media for long‑distance, deterministic data exchange. Compared to 170FNT11000, it adds fiber interface support and extended distance capability.
