Modicon Momentum

Modicon Momentum – AGM Electrical Supplies

Looking for a flexible, modular automation platform that can grow with your needs? The Modicon Momentum series from Schneider Electric is built for just that. Whether you’re designing a distributed I/O system, machinery retrofit, or a full control architecture, Momentum gives you both power and flexibility. At AGM Electrical Supplies, we offer the full range of Momentum controllers, I/O bases, adapters, and accessories so you can build a system that fits your project perfectly.

What Is Modicon Momentum?

Momentum is Schneider’s distributed control and I/O system featuring IP20 monoblock I/O modules that snap together with communication adapters, processor adapters, and optional extensions. It’s designed to be configurable: you choose your I/O base, add communication modules (like Modbus, INTERBUS, DeviceNet, etc.), attach a processor unit if you need local logic or PLC capability, and expand things with extra adapters. 

This architecture separates communication from the I/O base, meaning you can reuse I/O hardware but change the fieldbus type or add more processing power as needed. That makes it a strong choice for environments where requirements may change. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Modular Design: Snap-together system with I/O bases, communication adapters, processor adapters, and option adapters. Replace or expand parts without overhauling whole system.
• Versatile I/O: Discrete and analog I/O bases, multi-function analog modules, and bi-directional discrete ones. Great for analog sensors, digital switches, motors, actuators, etc.
• Multiple Communication Options: Momentum supports several fieldbuses and communication modules Modbus, DeviceNet, INTERBUS, etc. Allowing integration with many existing control systems.
• IP20 Rating: Safe for inside-cabinet installations; robust enough for industrial panel setups, though not for harsh outdoor exposure without enclosure.
• Snap-in Busbars and Plug-In Terminal Blocks: Many I/O bases support plug-in terminal strips and optional busbars for easier wiring and cleaner installations.

Typical Applications

Modicon Momentum is well suited for:

• Machines or skid systems that require distributed I/O rather than central centralised panels.
• Upgrades where you have mixed legacy protocols and need to integrate new zones with different communication standards.
• Environments where quick service or module swapping matters—modular approach helps reduce downtime.
• Applications needing both discrete control and analog monitoring (temperature, pressure, flow, etc.).

Why Buy Momentum from AGM Electrical Supplies?

If you want genuine Momentum hardware without the long lead times or price surprises, AGM is ready. Here’s how we help:

• We stock authentic Schneider Electric Momentum controllers, I/O bases, communication and processor adapters.
• Transparent pricing—no hidden fees, just what you need.
• Fast dispatch across Australia get your modules quickly to keep your project moving.
• Pre-sale support: if you’re uncertain about which communication adapter or processor you need, we guide you.

What to Consider Before You Order

• Determine your total I/O points (discrete & analog) to pick the right size I/O bases.
• Decide which fieldbus or communication adapter you need (Modbus, INTERBUS, etc.).
• Think about future expansion—optional slots or adapters will let you grow without big extra cost.
• Ensure your installation environment doesn’t require sealed or higher-IP rated modules.
