- The embedded WebVisu function lets you read and write data from the equipment and make corresponding adjustments to its operation from any location
- With or without display and buttons, or flush-mounted
- Power supply: 12VDC or 24VAC/DC or 48VDC or 100 to 240VAC
- Simplicity and performance
Thanks to a high degree of flexibility, installing additional modules is very easy - while keeping everything in a single configuration:
- Remote displays
- Expansion modules
- Wall thermostat
- Electronic expansion valve driver
- Wide range of humidity and temperature probes
- Communication plug-in for adding a communication port
Reduced Time to Market
The Modicon M171/M172-based solutions are faster and easier to deploy thanks to SoMachine HVAC 2.0, Schneider Electric’s single platform for programming, visualization, and commissioning. SoMachine HVAC 2.0 offers intuitive, ready-to-use application function blocks (AFB). When implemented together with the Tested, Validated, and Documented Architectures (TVDAs) from Schneider Electric, it greatly reduces design time.
Improved Efficiency
SoMachine HVAC 2.0 provides advanced algorithms for greater energy efficiency in Modicon M171/M172-based automation. Dedicated AFBs include energy management, compressor management, fan management, coefficient of performance (COP) monitoring, and floating high pressure control as well as other HVAC- and pumping-related software libraries. Machine builders can simply apply the AFBs while freely developing codes and functions specific to their needs. Additionally, the USB ports on Modicon M171P and Modicon M172P make programming and debugging even easier.
Simplified Integration and Maintenance
The new Modicon M171/M172 series offers a wide choice of connectivity options to support integration with a variety of BMS. A ready-to-connect device, the new Modicon M172P embeds Ethernet, Modbus and BACnet protocols as standard and LonWorks protocol as optional. Furthermore, maintenance is simplified thanks to the built-in WebVisu, visualization screens that are compatible with standard Web browsers to enable remote control of the applications from mobile devices.
The Modicon M171/M172 logic controllers are part of MachineStruxure.

Pepperl+Fuchs extends its WirelessHART portfolio with the "BULLET”. This loop-powered WirelessHART adapter enables new and existing wired 4 mA … 20 mA and HART field devices to communicate measurement, diagnostic, and parameterization data wirelessly. It is the only WirelessHART adapter on the market with an explosion proof Ex d housing and is suitable for use in explosion hazardous areas up to Zone 1/21, Class I, Div. 1 (also available as an intrinscally safe version for use in Zone 0 and a general purpose version).
An extremely rugged aluminum housing contains all electronic components, including the antenna – the unit is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions in process plants. The BULLET is permanently installed by attaching it directly or via conduit fitting to an Ex d field device or by being mounted on a junction box. Additionally, the Ex i version of the BULLET is also suitable for use with intrinsically safe field devices.
When using the BULLET, no additional battery is needed. Connection of HART devices is possible as well as connection of 4 mA … 20 mA devices, enabling flexible adaptation to changing application requirements.
The BULLET supplies itself with energy from the 4 mA … 20 mA current loop, using a special technology called “StepVolt”. This technology allows users to set insertion voltage from 1 V to 2.5 V in order to optimize the usage of available loop power and wireless communication bandwidth.
The BULLET provides reliable performance even under worst case low-current conditions, where there is very little power available – when using transmitters on very long cable runs or with intrinsically safe barriers. In scenarios where more power is available, the BULLET provides a higher amount of WirelessHART packets per second, leading to an increased performance of the overall WirelessHART network.
The BULLET is equipped with a powerful multidrop feature that significantly lowers the cost of adding devices to an existing WirelessHART network. With a single BULLET, up to eight field devices can be multidropped. This is especially useful for monitoring tank farms and pipelines.
FEATURES
- Only Ex d certified loop-powered WirelessHART adapter on the market, suitable for use in explosion-hazardous areas up to Zone 1/21, Class I, Div. 1
- Rugged Ex d aluminum housing with fully encased antenna for harsh environments
- Handles both 4 mA … 20 mA and HART field devices, giving flexibility in applications
- StepVolt technology makes very low voltage drop possible
- Multidrop of up to eight field devices with a single BULLET saves network extension costs
