A modular concept with four easy pieces
The Momentum system comprises 4 fundamental components that easily snap together in various combinations to form versatile control systems or sub-systems.
The four pieces are:
- Communication Adapters
- I/O Bases
- Processor Adapters
- Option Adapters
Momentum communication adapters
Momentum’s design separates the communications from the I/O base, thus creating a truly open I/O system that can be easily adapted to any fieldbus network. When a Momentum I/O is coupled with a Communication Adapter, the two form a remote I/O drop that connects directly to virtually any standard fieldbus I/O network. Together, Momentum I/O supports control systems based on personal computers, distributed control systems, programmable controllers and Momentum processors.
Momentum I/O bases
Specialized Momentum I/O Bases support the rest of the control system. The Communication Adapters, Processor Adapters and Option Adapters all snap onto the I/O Bases. A selection of I/O base modules are available, including analog I/O, discrete I/O, multi-function analog and bi-directional discrete bases. In addition, Momentum I/O bases offer simple plug-in terminal strips, as well as standard 35 mm DIN rail or panel mounting for ease of maintenance and installation.
Momentum processors and option adapters
When local distributed intelligence is required at the point of control, Momentum has the answer. Momentum M1 processor Adapters are full fledged PLCs containing a CPU, RAM and Flash memory. They are based on the popular Modicon family of PLCs (i.e., directly compatible with Quantum, Compact and 984 PLCs), and snap onto the
Momentum I/O Bases, just like the communication adapters.
The Option Adapter provides the Processor Adapters with additional networking capabilities, a time-of-day clock, and a battery back-up. The Option Adapters also snap onto the I/O Base; in the figure below,the Processor Adapter is stacked on top
SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC is a French industrial group with international dimension, which manufactures and offers electricity management products, automation and solutions adapted to these trades.
Having consolidated its financial base thanks to the arrival of new shareholders and the simplification of its structures, Schneider began its redeployment at the end of the 1980s. Having joined Merin Gerin in the group (1986), the general management embarked on a acquisition strategy, marked by the integration of important companies that will become the core of the current group:
Télémécanique (1988)
Square D (1991)
Merlin Gerin (1992)
Modicon (1996)
