About the Modicon Momemtum Package

This the form of the modules that are installed to machines that use our CNC Bender software. The different modules come in a variety of functions - but the same packaging. For example, the image here shows an INPUT base with 32-points with an Ethernet Communications Adapter clipped on the top.

See this data sheet (16 pages) for an overview of these modules.

View the Modicon Momentum I/O Base User Guide (662 pages).

They mount to DIN rails in electrical panels.

I2T IFC220E Servo Modules

The I2T (Pronounced "I Square T") servo modules use the same package form as the other Modicon products. The base unit contains a computer that can control 2 axes.

This is the form for the I2T servo modules with an Ethernet Communications Adapter on the top. You can see a slight difference on the base from the INPUT module with the RJ-45 receptacle.

In the I2T servo modules, the serial port is an RJ-45 receptacle port shown in this image. INPUT and OUTPUT modules don't include this port.

INPUT Base with Ethernet Communication Adapter

The Ethernet Communications Adapter holds the IP address for this base, and receives the Ethernet cable from a switch or a hub. Each bender is its own small Class C network with addresses like 192.168.0.201, 192.168.0.202, etc.

Back of Modicon Momentum I/O Base

This is the back of the base with a channel for receiving a DIN rail.

Modicon Momentum Analog Base

For applications were we must control the positions of proportional valves to set pressures, we output and hold a specific voltage in the +/-10 volt range using the Modicon Momentum Analog base to output up to 4 separate channels. (We can control four valves with one Analog module.)

Download a datasheet that describes the Analog cards used:
170AAO12000 0..20ma +/-10volt Analog Base
170AAO92100 4..20ma +/-10volt Analog Base
Either base can be used depending on availability.

Electrical Panel

Most modules are installed in any order convenient in an electrical panel as shown in this example:

This shows a close-up image of INPUT and OUTPUT modules next to each other in the electrical panel.
