M1/M1E processor adapters
Introduction
Modicon
™
 Momentum
™
 M1/M1E processor adapters are based on the Modicon 984 
family of products. You can mount these adapters on Modicon Momentum I/O Bases 
to provide intelligence to the I/O. The processor adapter can quickly and 
independently solve logic, control its own local I/O (discrete or analog), and 
communicate to other control entities through one of a number of Modicon 
Momentum communication options. The processor adapter can turn an ordinary I/O 
Base into a PID controller or high-speed logic solver.
You can create your own controller from a number of different bases, and with other 
Modicon Momentum options, network your local logic solvers together into an 
intelligent subsystem as part of a larger Modicon application, or into a stand alone, 
integrally networked system with local controllers with extended I/O.
Modicon Momentum M1/M1E processor adapters can stand alone, or be mounted 
on a single Modicon Momentum I/O Base (with its own extended Modicon 
Momentum I/O connected to the I/O Bus Port on 171 CCS 760 00 processor 
adapter). It can also be mounted together with one of a variety of Modicon 
Momentum Option adapters – providing different network capabilities, a time-of-day 
clock, and a battery back-up system. The built-in ash memory is used to store the 
executive, allowing for convenient eld upgrades of the operating system. The ash 
memory can also be used to back up your applications, creating a local copy of your 
program to be loaded back into RAM, thus providing original program le integrity. 
On the  171 CCS 780 00 processor adapter, the RS 485 port can be used to connect 
to dedicated devices such as an operator interface panel or a marquee, or used in a 
master/slave RS 485 network to connect to multiple devices.
The processor adapters can be programmed with Modsoft
™
 version 2.5 or greater, 
Concept
™
 version 2.1 or greater, ProWORX
™
 NxT version 2.0 or greater or 
ProWORX 32.

Programming Software for Modicon Momentum
Modicon Momentum processor adapters have a number of PC programming 
software options available. You can program your processor adapter via the 
Modbus RS 232 serial port, or with an M1E processor via Ethernet network. 
If using a Modbus Plus Option adapter in conjunction with a Processor adapter, you 
can program via an SA85 card installed in a PC and connected to the same 
Modbus Plus network.
For more specic information, see the appropriate Modicon Momentum, ProWORX 
or Concept programming software literature and documentation.
