Schneider Electric BMXCPS3500 AC Power Module

Schneider Electric BMXCPS3500 Modicon X80 Power Supply

Product Introduction

The BMXCPS3500 serves as a high-power supply module inside the Modicon X80 platform. This unit accepts wide-range AC input and feeds the rack backplane. System builders use it to power I/O modules, processor modules, and sensors. Because it fits both M340 and M580 racks, it supports consistent power planning across mixed control systems.

Electrical Specifications

First, the BMXCPS3500 accepts an input range of 100-240 V AC. It delivers 36 W of output power to the rack. Furthermore, the output includes a 5 V DC backplane rail rated at 7.2 A. Meanwhile, a separate 24 V DC output supplies field sensors directly.

Besides, a primary side fuse protects the input stage. On the secondary side, overload, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection guard the rack. Therefore, a single fault on one module will not damage the whole backplane. However, engineers should still verify total load current before adding new modules.

Mechanical and Environmental Data

Dimensions measure 100 × 28 × 93 mm (H×W×D). The unit weighs 0.55 kg, which reflects its internal conversion circuitry. Additionally, it mounts directly in X-bus racks without extra adapters.

Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +60°C. Storage temperature spans -25°C to +70°C. Relative humidity tolerance stays between 5% and 95%, non-condensing. The protection rating is IP20, so the module requires mounting inside a clean control cabinet.

Installation Guide

Next, follow these steps to install the BMXCPS3500 correctly.

1. Switch off AC power and verify zero voltage.

2. Select a suitable slot in the X-bus rack.

3. Align the module and slide it into the backplane connector.

4. Tighten the retaining screw to secure the unit.

5. Wire the AC input to the front terminals.

6. Connect sensor loads to the 24 V DC output.

7. Check the module status LED after energizing.

Moreover, calculate the total backplane load before commissioning. Therefore, the supply stays within its 7.2 A rating. Finally, keep AC input cables separated from signal wiring to reduce noise.
