Description
The SCHNEIDER 170AA103000 is an 8-channel distributed analog input module used with the Schneider Electric Modicon Momentum programmable logic controller (PLC) system.
Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and applications:
Function:
- The 170AA103000 module expands the analog input capabilities of a Modicon Momentum PLC. PLCs use digital inputs and outputs for basic on/off control, but analog signals provide continuous values for parameters like voltage, current, temperature, pressure, and flow.
- This module can accept analog voltage signals from up to eight different sensors or transmitters connected in the field. The module converts these analog signals into digital values that the PLC can understand and process.
Features:
- Number of Channels: Provides 8 channels for analog voltage input.
- Compatibility: Designed for use with the Schneider Electric Modicon Momentum PLC platform.
- Communication: Communicates with the PLC via the Modicon Momentum backplane, transmitting the converted digital values for processing and control decisions.
Applications:
The 170AA103000 is used in various industrial automation applications where continuous monitoring and control of analog process variables are required. Here are some examples:
- Industrial Manufacturing: Monitoring and controlling parameters like temperature in ovens, pressure in hydraulic systems, or flow rates in liquid processing applications.
- Building Automation: Monitoring and regulating temperature, humidity, and pressure in HVAC systems, or monitoring air quality and illumination levels.
- Power Generation and Distribution: Monitoring voltage, current, and power factor in electrical distribution systems.
- Water Treatment Plants: Monitoring and controlling chemical dosing, flow rates, and pressure levels in water treatment processes.
Additional Notes:
- The specific functionalities and technical details of the 170AA103000 module might vary depending on the exact model variant. Consulting the Schneider Electric user manuals for your specific PLC model and module is essential for obtaining precise information.
- For proper installation and configuration, refer to the Schneider Electric documentation for the 170AA103000 module and your Modicon Momentum PLC system. This will ensure compatibility and safe operation.
- Programming the PLC to utilize the analog input data from the 170AA103000 requires knowledge of Schneider Electric’s programming software and specific coding for the Modicon Momentum platform.
