Operating inside the Modicon X80 hardware architecture, this expansion kit enables parallel backplane bus communication velocity across multiple physical racks, supporting continuous logic synchronization. The physical-layer hardware preserves internal I/O density scaling characteristics by mapping remote slots directly onto the primary rack register layout without adding network translation overhead. The included TSXTLYEX line terminators isolate the bus trace paths, maintaining signal fidelity across Profinet / EtherNet/IP deterministic networks and preventing signal reflection from disrupting local firmware flash compatibility boundaries during active process execution.
Q: What specific hardware components are included in the BMXXBE2005 kit assembly?
A: The standard kit comprises two BMXXBE1000 backplane expansion modules, one 0.8 m BMXXBC008K interconnecting cordset, and a complete set of two TSXTLYEX bus line terminators required to cap the communication line ends.
Q: Can this extender kit be deployed in atmospheres containing hazardous explosive gases?
A: Yes. The hardware complies with the 2014/34/EU ATEX directive and carries certified ratings for installation in ATEX and IECEx Zone 2/22 hazardous environments, as well as Class I Division 2 locations.
Q: How many racks can be interconnected using this specific model variant?
A: The BMXXBE2005 kit is pre-configured and optimized to support a dual-rack (2-rack) hardware topology.
Mount the BMXXBE1000 modules directly into the designated expansion slots located on each Modicon backplane rack. Isolate all primary system power supplies before making any physical alterations to the rack structure. Install the 0.8 m BMXXBC008K extension cordset into the front panel connectors of the expansion modules, ensuring that the integration locking tabs engage completely. Insert the TSXTLYEX line terminators into the open ports at each far end of the extended bus path to close the circuit loop. Route all backplane bus cables through separate cable ducts inside the cabinet enclosure, maintaining physical isolation from variable speed drive lines and high-current AC motor leads to minimize electrical noise induction.
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.
