Schneider 170BAM09600 Analog I/O Module

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric 170BAM09600 is a Base Analog Module from the Modicon Momentum series, designed to support the integration of analog I/O modules into distributed control systems. This versatile module serves as the interface between the Momentum I/O slice and the communication adapters (like Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, or serial modules), enabling analog input/output capabilities in compact, modular automation environments.

Engineered for industrial performance, the 170BAM09600 provides the essential analog signal routing functionality for up to 8 channels of input or output. Its streamlined DIN-rail mountable design and compatibility with a wide range of I/O modules make it a cornerstone in building scalable, distributed architectures, particularly in cost-sensitive or space-constrained applications.

Equipped with robust diagnostic features and rugged industrial compliance, the 170BAM09600 allows engineers to deploy reliable analog control in industries such as manufacturing, utilities, HVAC, water treatment, and infrastructure automation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can the 170BAM09600 be used with both input and output analog modules?
   Yes, it supports both analog input (e.g., 170AAI03000) and output (e.g., 170AAO25200) modules from the Momentum series.

2. Does this base module include analog conversion circuitry?
   No, the analog signal processing is handled by the installed I/O module. The base module facilitates communication and physical mounting.

3. How does the 170BAM09600 communicate with a PLC processor?
   It connects through a communication adapter module (e.g., 170ENT11001 for Ethernet) that links to the PLC.

4. Is there a limitation on the type of analog signals supported?
   The signal type (e.g., 0–10 V, 4–20 mA) is determined by the analog module plugged into the base, not by the base itself.

5. Can the 170BAM09600 be used in standalone mode?
   No, it requires a communication adapter and at least one I/O module to function as part of a control system.

6. Is configuration software required for this base module?
   No configuration is required at the base level. Configuration occurs through the communication adapter using Unity Pro or EcoStruxure Control Expert.

7. What happens if the analog module is removed during operation?
   The system will detect the module absence and flag a fault; analog data will stop being read or written.

8. Can I use this module in hazardous environments?
   While it meets industrial EMC and environmental standards, confirm specific certifications (ATEX, Class I Div 2) based on your application.

9. Is hot swapping supported for the I/O modules mounted on the 170BAM09600?
   Yes, hot swapping is supported, allowing modules to be replaced without powering down the system.

10. What is the maximum number of analog signals that can be connected via this module?
    It depends on the I/O module installed—typically up to 8 analog channels per module.
