Schneider Electric BMXPRA0100 Modicon X80 Positioning Module
Product Introduction
The BMXPRA0100 acts as a dedicated positioning control module within the Modicon X80 I/O platform. This unit drives one motion axis through pulse and direction signals. Machine builders use it for indexing tables, linear slides, and simple feed axes. Since the module fits both M340 and M580 racks, it supports consistent spare-part planning across mixed control systems.
Motion Specifications
First, the BMXPRA0100 controls a single positioning axis. Output takes the form of pulse and direction signals, a common interface for stepper and servo drives. Furthermore, the maximum pulse frequency reaches 200 kHz, which supports rapid traverse moves and fine resolution at low speeds.
Electrical Parameters
The module draws power from the backplane at 24 V DC. Its consumption is rated at 2.9 W. Meanwhile, bus current sits at 120 mA at 24 V DC. Besides, the backplane supply removes the need for separate power wiring to the module. However, engineers should confirm the rack power budget before installation. Specifically, total the bus current of every module to avoid overload.
Mechanical and Environmental Data
Dimensions measure 100 × 28 × 93 mm (H×W×D). The unit weighs 0.18 kg, which eases handling during rack assembly. Additionally, the single-slot profile conserves rack space in dense panels.
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 mount the BMXPRA0100 correctly.
Switch off rack power and verify zero voltage.
Align the module with a free slot in the X80 rack.
Slide the unit into the backplane connector until fully seated.
Tighten the retaining screw to secure the module.
Wire pulse and direction outputs to the drive per the pin diagram.
Power the rack and check the module status LED.
Configure axis parameters in the engineering software.
Moreover, route pulse cables away from motor power lines to reduce electrical noise. Therefore, positioning accuracy improves in electrically noisy environments. Finally, verify drive input compatibility before commissioning.
