Overview

The Schneider Electric 171CCC78010 is a powerful CPU unit designed for industrial automation applications within the Modicon Momentum platform. This M1/M1E processor adaptor provides flexible and efficient control options, ideal for medium to large-scale industrial systems. Featuring compatibility with multiple software designations, such as Concept V2.6, Modsoft (V2.5 or higher), ProWORX 32, and ProWORX NxT V2.0, this processor adapts seamlessly to various control environments, making it suitable for diverse automation needs. Its durable design, robust performance specifications, and Schneider Electric’s 2-year warranty from MRO Electric and Supply ensure reliability and support for critical operations.

Processing Power and Memory

At the core of the 171CCC78010 CPU is an X86-based processor (compatible with Intel and AMD architectures), operating at a clock frequency of 32 MHz. This moderate processing speed provides adequate power for handling a wide range of control tasks, from simple machine operations to complex automated processes. Memory is an essential component of this unit: with 512 kB of Flash memory and 512 kB of RAM, this CPU can store large amounts of data and execute programs smoothly. For program storage, it offers a 24 kB memory allocation for data and two programming options: 18 kB for LL984 program memory and an extensive 240 kB for IEC programming.

I/O Processing Capabilities

The 171CCC78010 CPU is designed to support substantial I/O capacities, an essential requirement for industrial automation systems. It can handle up to 8192 discrete I/Os, which provides extensive flexibility for integrating various inputs and outputs across a system. Additionally, the CPU has a high register I/O processing capacity, supporting up to 26,048 I/Os, which allows for complex control functions and applications. This substantial I/O capacity makes the unit adaptable to configurations and automation setups, including those with extensive Modbus connectivity.

Communication Ports and Protocols

For communication, the 171CCC78010 CPU offers one RS232C non-isolated port and one RS485 port, supporting Modbus protocol for reliable data exchange across compatible devices. These communication protocols are widely used in industrial settings, offering stable and straightforward connections with other devices on the network. This compatibility allows for simple integration into Modicon Momentum systems and connections with other Modbus-compatible equipment, promoting interoperability and easy data sharing between system components.

Durability and Design

Constructed from Lexan, a highly durable thermoplastic, the 171CCC78010 CPU is designed to withstand challenging industrial environments while maintaining stability and performance. It is marked with CE certification, which attests to its safety and compliance with European standards. The unit operates on a 5.0 V DC supply with a tolerance of ±5%, ensuring that it receives stable power from a compatible Momentum I/O base. This consistent power supply supports reliable CPU performance, enhancing overall operational integrity.
