Schneider Electric BMX Series Serial Modbus for Use with M340 Series, 240 V

Use this processor module from Schneider Electric for effective communication between components in your industrial automation systems. It uses Modbus protocol, which allows a single device, called a master, to issue commands that are executed by the other connected units, referred to as slaves. The unit has RJ45, RS232 and Ethernet ports to provide versatile connection points for your peripheral devices. An integrated 2Gb RAM means you can easily store temporary functions, allowing for smooth and seamless operation. As the module also comes with a memory card, you can back up data and configurations for future use.

• Quick execution time range of 0.18 to 1.74μs for speedy operation
• Low current consumption of 72mA for energy efficiency
• LED status indicators for easy monitoring and troubleshooting
• IP20 rating indicates protection from tools and objects larger than 12mm in size

• Electronics manufacturing
• Process control
• Industrial automation

On a standard Modbus network, you can use one master to control up to 247 slaves, each with a unique identifier number from 1 to 247.
