BMXXBP1200 12-Slot Modicon X80 Backplane Panel/DIN Rail | Schneider Electric

The Original New Schneider Electric BMXXBP1200 is a 12-slot backplane for the Modicon X80 I/O platform, providing the physical and electrical backbone for Modicon M340 and M580 Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). With 12 bus X slots supporting power supplies, processors, I/O modules, and application-specific modules, this backplane enables flexible, modular system configuration for large-scale automation systems. It offers panel, mounting plate, or DIN rail mounting options to suit diverse cabinet layouts. Part of Schneider Electric's common platform, it reduces maintenance and training costs with compatible modules and consistent training across different PACs.

Core Engineering Highlights:
12 bus X slots | 0.17 W power consumption | Panel / mounting plate / DIN rail mounting | Hot-swappable for most I/O modules | 1.27 kg net weight | IP20 protection | 0°C to +60°C operating temperature | 1 XBE expansion module connector | CE / UL / CSA / RCM / EAC / UKCA certified
