Product Details

Modicon AM-S980-100 is a dedicated network interface module and high-speed MAP communication card designed for the classic Modicon 984 PLC series. This legacy bus adapter works closely with AS-S980 series rack modules to build MAP 3.0 industrial network links, enabling reliable high-speed data exchange between multiple Modicon controllers, remote I/O racks and supervisory hosts. As a vital communication gateway, this network interface module transmits logic data, alarm signals and setpoint commands across the factory local network, coordinating distributed automation nodes. Built for continuous heavy-duty operation, this MAP communication card isolates backplane signals from the field bus to suppress electrical interference. As a discontinued legacy spare, this legacy bus adapter is widely stocked as a drop-in replacement to restore network connectivity for ageing Modicon 984 control systems without major system reconstruction.

Basic Parameters

Brand: Modicon (Schneider legacy)

Model: AM-S980-100

Product Type: MAP 3.0 Network Interface Communication Module

Compatible Series: Modicon 984 series, mates with AS-S980 modules

Communication Protocol: MAP 3.0

Bus Type: Industrial LAN bus for distributed control

Backplane Interface: Modicon 984 proprietary rack bus

Supported Functions

This network interface module supports bidirectional MAP bus data transmission, message packaging and checksum verification. The map communication card executes bus fault diagnosis, node status monitoring and automatic retry for interrupted transmissions. This legacy bus adapter supports multi-controller interlocking, remote data sharing and alarm forwarding, and allows configuration of network node addresses for flexible distributed architecture layout.

Core Functions

As the dedicated map communication card, this network interface module bridges the PLC backplane and the MAP industrial bus, routing real-time control data among distributed automation stations. It monitors bus health and reports communication failures for quick troubleshooting. This legacy bus adapter serves as a direct replacement to rebuild the high-speed network backbone of old Modicon 984 automation racks.
