Schneider Electric 170MCI00100 – CANopen Communication Module | Momentum PLC I/O Platform
Engineering Background
The Schneider Electric Momentum series represents one of the most widely deployed distributed I/O and controller platforms in industrial automation. Designed for modular, DIN-rail-mounted architectures, Momentum modules integrate seamlessly into both standalone and networked control environments. The 170MCI00100 is the dedicated CANopen communication adapter for the Momentum I/O base, enabling high-speed, deterministic fieldbus communication across complex machine and process control systems.
Product Positioning
The 170MCI00100 serves as the fieldbus interface between Schneider Electric Momentum I/O bases and CANopen master controllers. It is the preferred solution for OEMs and system integrators requiring reliable, standards-compliant CANopen connectivity in distributed control architectures — including packaging machinery, material handling, press lines, and building automation systems.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 170MCI00100 mounts on the communication adapter slot of a Momentum I/O base. The CANopen master controller communicates with the module via the Sub-D9 CANopen bus connector. The module translates CANopen PDO/SDO messages into the Momentum internal backplane protocol, making I/O data transparently available to the master’s process image. Node address and baud rate are set via onboard rotary switches prior to installation. The module supports both NMT state machine management and LSS (Layer Setting Services) for advanced network configuration.
Typical signal flow: CANopen Master → CAN Bus (Sub-D9) → 170MCI00100 → Momentum I/O Backplane → I/O Base Channels → Field Devices
