Consequently, this compact module adds network switching capabilities directly to your X80 system.

Technical Specifications of the BMENOS0300

Product Compatibility and Power

In terms of compatibility, the Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 works exclusively with BMEXBP series backplanes. The rated supply voltage is 24V DC, drawn directly from the backplane. Regarding power consumption, the module dissipates 3.3 W at 135 mA when operating at 25°C. At 60°C, power consumption increases to 4.5 W at 185 mA. Therefore, the module efficiently manages its thermal output across the operating range.

Ports and Communication

The Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 features three integrated ports. One port serves as an Ethernet/IP device network connection. Another port functions as an Ethernet/IP service port for configuration and diagnostics. The communication port protocol is EtherNet/IP for seamless integration into industrial networks. Consequently, this module simplifies network architecture by eliminating external switches.

Local Signaling

For status indication, the Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 includes comprehensive local signaling. One green LED indicates module active (RUN). One red LED shows module error (ERR). Additionally, one green/red LED displays module status (Mod Status). Another green/red LED indicates network communication status (Net Status). Therefore, operators can quickly diagnose module and network conditions.

Physical and Environmental Specifications

The module format is standard for Modicon X80 backplanes. The Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 carries CE marking for European compliance. It complies with directives 2014/35/EU (low voltage) and 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility). The IP degree of protection is IP20, suitable for installation in control cabinets.

Temperature and Humidity

Regarding operating temperature, the Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 functions from 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C). For storage conditions, the range extends from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C). The relative humidity tolerance is 95% without condensation. Consequently, this module operates reliably across diverse industrial environments.

Altitude and Overvoltage

The operating altitude reaches up to 2000 meters (6,561.68 feet). For transport, the maximum altitude extends to 3000 meters (9,842.5 feet). The overvoltage category is II, suitable for industrial control systems.

Physical Dimensions and Weight

The Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 has a single-unit package height of 5.500 cm, width of 11.000 cm, and length of 11.500 cm. The package weight is 257.000 g (9.065 oz). For bulk ordering, the S02 package contains 15 units with dimensions 15.000 x 30.000 x 40.000 cm at 4.137 kg total weight. The country of origin is France (FR).

Installation Guidelines for the BMENOS0300

First, mount the Schneider Electric BMENOS0300 into a compatible BMEXBP series backplane. Ensure the backplane is powered off during installation. Then, connect the Ethernet/IP device network to the designated device port. After that, connect a configuration tool to the Ethernet/IP service port for initial setup. Next, verify proper operation by observing the LED indicators (RUN, ERR, Mod Status, Net Status). Finally, configure the network settings using your preferred Ethernet/IP configuration software.
