Schneider BMXNGD0100 Modicon X80 Protocol Gateway Module
Product Introduction
The Schneider Electric BMXNGD0100 is a protocol gateway module in the Modicon X80 series. It bridges different industrial networks inside one control system. Specifically, the module converts data between multiple industrial protocols. Furthermore, its built-in ports cover serial and fieldbus connections, depending on configuration. Therefore, it helps integrate legacy devices with modern controllers. This unit shares the same I/O platform as the M340 and M580.
Technical Specifications
The BMXNGD0100 acts as a protocol gateway. It provides serial and fieldbus ports based on setup. The module performs multi-protocol conversion between industrial networks. In addition, it handles protocol translation at the gateway level. Meanwhile, the module occupies one slot on the X-bus backplane. This compact footprint keeps cabinet space free for other modules.
Electrical Parameters
Supply voltage for the BMXNGD0100 is 24 V DC. The backplane delivers this power directly. Power consumption reaches 3.6 W. Besides, bus current draw is 150 mA at 24 V DC. These values help engineers plan power budgets. The current demand stays within normal X80 rack limits. Therefore, the module suits standard control cabinet designs.
Mechanical and Environmental Data
The module measures 100 × 28 × 93 mm. It weighs only 0.16 kg. The housing carries an IP20 protection rating. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +60°C. Storage temperature spans -25°C to +70°C. Relative humidity stays between 5% and 95%. However, condensation must not occur. These ratings suit standard control cabinets. They also fit many factory floor environments.
Installation Guide
First, verify the X-bus backplane has an open slot. Next, align the BMXNGD0100 with the slot guides. Then slide the module firmly into place. After that, tighten the retaining screw. The backplane supplies 24 V DC power automatically. No external wiring is needed for supply. For network connections, use the front ports. Specifically, select the serial or fieldbus layout your project needs. Finally, configure the protocol conversion rules in your software. The module is now ready to translate data between networks.
Packaging List
Shipping methods include Fedex, UPS, and DHL.
