BMXXBE2005 X80 Backplane Extender Kit 2‑Slot Expansion M340/M580 | Schneider Electric

The Original New Schneider Electric BMXXBE2005 is a complete backplane extender kit for the Modicon X80 I/O platform, designed to expand the capacity of Modicon M340 and M580 Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) by enabling a 2-rack configuration. This kit allows you to add a second rack of I/O or communication modules without replacing the existing main backplane. It includes all necessary components for a reliable and compliant installation: two BMXXBE1000 rack expansion modules, one BMXXBC008K extension cordset (0.8m), and one TSXTLYEX line terminator (set of 2). Part of Schneider Electric's common platform, it reduces maintenance and training costs with compatible modules and consistent training across different PACs.
