Schneider Electric 171CCC96030 M1/M1E Processor Adaptor

Configured for Ethernet-based I/O scanning and Modbus TCP messaging in the Modicon Momentum automation platform, the Schneider Electric 171CCC96030 (171CCC96030 M1/M1E processor adaptor) provides direct physical and network-level execution. The module incorporates an X86-based IEC executive processor operating at 50 MHz with integrated Ethernet communication and local I/O processing functions.

Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix

The supplied documentation identifies 171CCC96030 as a fixed catalog number. No official suffix decomposition or ordering matrix is provided in the available technical data.

Hardware Specifications

Firmware Flash Compatibility and I/O Scaling

The processor supports execution environments associated with Concept V2.6, Modsoft version 2.5 or later, ProWORX NxT V2.0, and ProWORX 32. Program storage is divided between LL984 and IEC memory regions within the onboard flash architecture.

I/O density scaling is supported through the Momentum platform architecture, allowing processing of up to 8192 discrete inputs and outputs together with 26048 register-based I/O points. Ethernet services include Modbus TCP messaging and I/O scanning through the integrated network interface. Data exchange occurs through the platform I/O bus and Ethernet port without requiring an external communication processor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 171CCC96030 support hot-swapping while the Momentum rack remains energized? A: The available technical documentation does not specify hot-swap capability. Installation or removal should be performed according to Momentum platform maintenance procedures with system power isolated where required.

Q: What software environments are compatible with the onboard firmware architecture? A: The module is specified for use with Concept V2.6, Modsoft version 2.5 or later, ProWORX NxT V2.0, and ProWORX 32.

Q: What Ethernet functions are implemented by the processor adaptor? A: The integrated Ethernet interface supports Modbus TCP messaging and I/O scanning services. These functions are executed directly by the processor without a separate Ethernet communication module.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify correct seating of the processor adaptor in the Momentum I/O base before applying power.
• Connect Ethernet cabling separately from motor power and high-current conductors to reduce conducted noise coupling.
• Maintain proper protective earth bonding for the control cabinet and associated communication equipment.
• Observe non-condensing humidity requirements during operation and storage.
• Confirm that the module receives its regulated 5.0 V DC supply from the installed Momentum base assembly.
• Inspect communication connectors for mechanical damage before commissioning.
• Follow plant grounding practices for cable shields and network infrastructure to minimize communication errors.
