Schneider BMEXBP0400 Modicon Rack X80 Ethernet Backplane

Description

The Schneider BMEXBP0400 Modicon Rack X80 Ethernet Backplane is a dual Ethernet and X-bus backplane belonging to the Modicon X80 series, designed as an Ethernet remote site adapter supporting the eX80 I/O architecture. It features 4 slots for Bus X and Ethernet modules, and does not occupy a functional slot in the system, allowing integration of power modules without consuming slot space. Key connectivity features include support for Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, and PROFINET protocols, with integrated Ethernet switch functionality, plus 1 Xbus master port and 1 Xbus slave port; some configurations include up to 4 gigabit Ethernet ports. It enables Bus X and Ethernet communication via the remote backplane, and supports programmable VLAN and diagnostic functions for enhanced system management. This backplane is used to connect BMEP58 processors, BMXCPS power modules, I/O modules, and specific application modules, building automation control systems compatible with CRA modules like BMXERT, Ethernet modules like BMXNOM, and counter modules like BMXEHC, suitable for systems with 0 to 1024 discrete channels and 0 to 256 analog channels. Technical specifications include IP20 protection rating, operating temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, power consumption of 162 mW at 3.3V DC and 2.8W at 24V DC, current draw of 49 mA at 3.3V DC and 118 mA at 24V DC, weight of 0.705 kg, and an MTBF of 2,000,000 hours. It can be mounted via 4 screws (4.32 to 6.35 mm diameter) on a panel, 4 M6 screws on a baseplate, or clips on a 35 mm DIN rail.
