Schneider Electric 170XTS00100 Screw Terminal Block

The Schneider Electric 170XTS00100, also cataloged as the 170XTS00100 screw terminal block, operates as a dedicated hardware component for field wiring termination and signal distribution within Modicon Momentum and Modicon Quantum distributed I/O systems. It provides screw-terminal connectivity for discrete and analog I/O bases, supporting conductor termination capacities from 1 x 2.5 mm² to 2 x 1.5 mm². The assembly consists of three connectors arranged in a single row.

Hardware Specifications

Backplane Integration and I/O Wiring Density

As a connection accessory for Modicon Momentum and Modicon Quantum automation platforms, the 170XTS00100 provides a removable screw-terminal interface between field conductors and associated I/O bases. The terminal arrangement supports modular I/O deployment while maintaining organized field wiring termination. Wiring density is determined by the connected I/O base and installed control architecture rather than by the terminal block itself.

The screw-terminal design permits direct termination of individual conductors or paired conductors within the specified clamping range. Proper conductor preparation and torque application should follow the corresponding I/O base installation documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 170XTS00100 require a separate power supply? A: No. The device is a passive connection accessory and does not consume operating power.

Q: Can the terminal block be used with both analog and discrete I/O bases? A: Yes. Manufacturer documentation specifies compatibility with both discrete I/O bases and analog I/O bases within supported Modicon Momentum and Modicon Quantum platforms.

Q: Does the terminal block provide signal isolation or conditioning? A: No. The unit functions only as a wiring termination interface. Signal isolation, conditioning, and processing are performed by the associated I/O module.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify compatibility between the terminal block and the target Modicon Momentum or Modicon Quantum I/O base before installation.
• De-energize the control cabinet and associated field circuits before connecting or disconnecting wiring.
• Use conductors within the specified clamping capacity of 1 x 2.5 mm² to 2 x 1.5 mm².
• Maintain separation between low-level analog signals and higher-current field wiring where applicable.
• Route shielded cables according to site grounding practices and terminate shields in accordance with the control system grounding philosophy.
• Inspect terminal screws periodically for proper mechanical retention, particularly in environments subject to vibration.
• Label field conductors clearly to simplify maintenance and replacement activities throughout the product service life.
