The BMXNOM0200 is a dual-port serial communication interface designed for the Modicon M340 Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) platform. It provides reliable connectivity between the PLC and serial-based peripheral devices, supporting Modbus and Character Mode (ASCII) communication.
This module plays a key role in integrating legacy equipment, variable speed drives, HMIs, meters, and third-party instrumentation into a modern control architecture while preserving existing serial networks.

The BMXNOM0200 is widely used in industrial and infrastructure systems where serial communication remains essential. Typical applications include:
RS-485 communication with power meters and energy analyzers
Integration of legacy barcode scanners or serial printers in logistics systems
Control and monitoring of Modbus RTU–based VFDs
RTU and telemetry integration in water and wastewater treatment facilities
Does the BMXNOM0200 support isolated communication?
No. Both serial ports are non-isolated. For applications requiring electrical isolation, external optical or galvanic isolators should be used.
Can both ports be used simultaneously?
Yes. The two ports operate independently and may be configured with different protocols, baud rates, and roles.
Is this module compatible with the Modicon M580 series?
Yes. As part of the Common I/O range, the BMXNOM0200 can be used in M580 local or remote Ethernet racks (X80 platform).
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
