7. Installation Instructions

1. Power Off: Disconnect power to the Momentum I/O base.

2. Align Adapter: Slide the 170PNT11020 onto the I/O base’s communication connector.

3. Lock in Place: Press until side clips click, securing the adapter.

4. Connect MB+ Cable: Plug shielded DB9 cable into the adapter’s MB+ port.

5. Terminate Network: Install 120 Ω termination resistors at both ends of the MB+ trunk.

6. Power On: Restore power; verify PWR and MB+ ACT LEDs illuminate.

7. Configure Network: Use Unity Pro or MB+ Configurator to set the adapter’s unique MB+ address (IEC format).

8. Maintenance

• Quarterly Inspection: Check DB9 connector for wear, dirt, or bent pins.

• LED Check: Confirm PWR is on and MB+ ACT flashes during communication.

• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends, vibration, or stress on MB+ cables.

• Shield Integrity: Ground shield at one end only (MB+ standard).

• Replacement: Replace adapter if ERR is steady or communication fails (after cable/termination check).

9. Safety Precautions

• Qualified Personnel: Installation/service by qualified technical staff only.

• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power before installing/removing the adapter.

• Indoor Use Only: For indoor industrial environments; avoid moisture, direct sunlight.

• Damage Check: Do not use if adapter, connectors, or insulation are damaged.

• Disposal: Dispose per local electronic waste regulations.

10. Troubleshooting

No MB+ Communication

• Confirm PWR LED is on (24 VDC power to I/O base).

• Check DB9 cable is fully seated and locked.

• Verify 120 Ω termination at trunk ends.

• Ensure unique MB+ address (no duplicates).

Intermittent Communication

• Inspect for loose DB9 connector or bent pins.

• Check for excessive vibration or cable movement.

• Verify shield is grounded at one end only.

• Reduce network load or check for faulty nodes.

ERR (Red LED) On

• MB+ network fault (short circuit, open cable, or duplicate address).

• Check cable continuity and termination.

• Verify no other node uses the same MB+ address.
