Schneider BMXDRA1605 Modicon X80 Discrete Output Module 16 Relay Outputs

Schneider Electric BMXDRA1605 is a discrete output module for Modicon X80 automation systems. Provides 16 normally open (NO) relay outputs rated for 24‑240 V AC or 24‑48 V DC loads. Designed for switching actuators, contactors, valves, and indicator lights in industrial control applications. Compatible with Modicon M340 and M580 PAC racks.

Applications:

• Switching of pumps, fans, and solenoid valves

• Actuation of contactors and motor starters

• Control of indicator lamps and alarms

• Interfacing with AC or DC loads up to 2 A

Core Specifications:

• Number of outputs: 16 (normally open, NO)

• Output current: 2 A per channel (resistive), 0.3 A (inductive typical)

• Load voltage: 24‑240 V AC or 24‑48 V DC (free‑voltage)

• Contact type: Relay, single pole, normally open

• Switching time: ≤ 10 ms (operate), ≤ 5 ms (release)

• Protection: External fuse recommended per group

• Isolation: 1500 V AC between output and backplane, 1000 V AC between channels

• Connection: 20‑pin removable terminal block (BMXFTB2000 or similar, not included)

• Protection rating: IP20

Advanced Specifications:

• Mechanical life: ≥ 10 million cycles

• Electrical life: Depends on load type and switching conditions

• Backplane current consumption: 160 mA at 3.3 V DC, 45 mA at 24 V DC
