Product Introduction
The BMXNOM0200 gives Modicon X80 systems two independent serial channels. Schneider Electric built it for M340 and M580 controllers. Plant engineers use this module to link barcode scanners, weigh scales, and legacy devices. Additionally, each channel runs its own protocol and baud rate. Therefore, one card handles mixed serial equipment without extra hardware.
Technical Specifications
The BMXNOM0200 provides two serial ports in a single slot. Each port supports RS232 or RS485 wiring. Moreover, the module handles Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, and character mode protocols. Baud rates span 0.3 to 38.4 Kbps. As a result, it fits slow legacy links and faster Modbus networks alike.
Both channels stay fully independent. Specifically, you configure protocol, baud rate, and data format per channel. Diagnostic LEDs show transmit and receive activity. The module occupies one slot in the X80 rack.
Electrical Parameters
The backplane supplies 24V DC to the BMXNOM0200. Power consumption reaches 1.9 W. Bus current draw equals 80 mA at 24V DC. Besides, the low draw allows dense rack layouts. This efficiency helps engineers build compact control panels.
Mechanical and Environmental Data
Dimensions measure 100 × 28 × 93 mm (H×W×D). Weight equals 0.15 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% without condensation. The module mounts on an X-bus backplane.
Installation Guide
First, switch off the rack power before mounting. Next, insert the BMXNOM0200 into a free X80 slot. Push it firmly until the connector seats. Then, wire the terminal block for RS232 or RS485 mode.
For RS485, connect the A and B lines and add a ground reference. For RS232, wire TX, RX, and ground pins. Meanwhile, keep serial cables away from motor drives and relays. Finally, power up and confirm the diagnostic LEDs show normal traffic.

FAQ
Q1: What is the function of the BMXNOM0200?
A: It adds two serial communication channels to an X80 rack. The module links legacy devices to M340 or M580 controllers.
Q2: Which protocols does this module support?
A: It supports Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, and character mode. Each channel runs its own protocol setting.
Q3: How many serial ports does the BMXNOM0200 have?
A: It has two independent ports. Each port works as RS232 or RS485, so you can mix both types.
Q4: Is the BMXNOM0200 compatible with both M340 and M580?
A: Yes. The Modicon X80 platform serves both controllers. Schneider Electric built this module for shared use across both systems.
Q5: What power supply does the module need?
A: The backplane delivers 24V DC. Power consumption is 1.9 W, and bus current draw is 80 mA.
