Schneider BMXNOR0200 Modicon X80 Remote I/O Serial Module
Product Introduction
The Schneider Electric BMXNOR0200 belongs to the Modicon X80 series. This remote I/O serial module acts as a communication bridge. It connects distributed field devices to a central controller. Furthermore, the module uses Modbus RTU protocol over one serial port. The port supports both RS232 and RS485 standards. Therefore, it fits many industrial network layouts. This unit works with M340 and M580 platforms. Consequently, engineers can share the same I/O infrastructure.
Technical Specifications
The BMXNOR0200 offers one application channel. Specifically, it provides one built-in serial port. That port handles RS232 or RS485 signals. The module runs Modbus RTU protocol. In addition, it functions as a remote terminal unit for distributed I/O. The X-bus backplane carries data and power. Meanwhile, the module occupies a single slot. This compact design saves rack space.
Electrical Parameters
Supply voltage for the BMXNOR0200 is 24 V DC. The backplane delivers this power. Power consumption reaches 1.9 W. Besides, bus current draw is 80 mA at 24 V DC. These values help engineers plan power budgets. The low current demand suits dense rack configurations. Therefore, the module runs cool and efficient.
Mechanical and Environmental Data
The module measures 100 × 28 × 93 mm. It weighs only 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%. 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 BMXNOR0200 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 serial connections, use the front port. Specifically, choose RS232 or RS485 mode. Finally, configure Modbus RTU settings in your software. The module is now active as a remote terminal unit.
Packaging List
Shipping methods include Fedex, UPS, and DHL.
