Overview
The TM171ADMI is a Schneider Modicon M171 optimized programming adapter, order code TM171ADMI, with a 7.5 m cable terminated in a printed circuit board connector (male) and a USB type A connector. It is packaged as a single unit in a box and is part of the Modicon M171/M172 range. This accessory is now discontinued by the manufacturer, making it a candidate for surplus or last-time-buy sourcing.
The TM171ADMI serves as a programming cable for transferring programs to an M171 optimized logic controller. The 7.5 m cable length provides reach from a laptop or programming station to a controller mounted inside a panel or cabinet, while the USB type A end connects to a standard PC port and the PCB male connector mates to the controller's programming header.
Applications
Used in commissioning, maintenance, and field-service scenarios where an M171 optimized controller must be programmed, reconfigured, or debugged. The cable length suits installations where the controller is not immediately adjacent to the programming device.
