Schneider BMXART0814 8-Channel Temperature Input Module
Product Introduction
The BMXART0814 expands temperature monitoring on the Schneider Electric Modicon X80 platform. It accepts 8 RTD or thermocouple channels in a single slot. Plant engineers use it for kilns, turbines, and process reactors. Because it shares the M340 and M580 backplane, migration between platforms stays straightforward.
Technical Specifications
The BMXART0814 delivers 8 temperature input channels, each configurable per channel. RTD support includes PT100, PT1000, and similar resistive sensors. Thermocouple support covers J, K, T, E, R, S, B, and N types. Resolution reaches 16-bit for precise, stable measurement. Accuracy is 0.1°C or better on RTD inputs and within 1% on thermocouple inputs. Channel-to-channel isolation prevents cross-talk between sensors. Module status and per-channel LEDs speed up diagnostics. A 28-pin terminal block manages the higher wiring density.
Power consumption reaches 3.6W through the 24V DC backplane. Bus current draws 150mA at 24V DC. These figures stay modest, so thermal management remains simple in most cabinets.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
Dimensions measure 100 × 28 × 93 mm (H×W×D). Weight is 0.17 kg, which keeps rack loading low. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +60°C. Storage temperature spans -25°C to +70°C. Relative humidity stays between 5% and 95% without condensation. The IP20 rating requires installation inside a protected enclosure.
Installation Guide
First, mount the BMXART0814 in a compatible Modicon X80 rack slot. Next, wire RTD or thermocouple leads to the 28-pin terminal block. Then select the sensor type for each channel in the software. Besides, use shielded cable on thermocouple runs to limit electrical noise. Finally, verify per-channel LEDs and confirm stable temperature values.
