Schneider BMXNGD0100 Modicon M580 Ethernet Module Overview

The Schneider Electric BMXNGD0100 is an Ethernet TCP/IP network module. Specifically, it belongs to the Modicon M580 product range. Therefore, this module adds global data service capabilities to M580 systems. Consequently, users select the BMXNGD0100 for high performance data exchange. Moreover, the module includes a supplied flash memory card (BMXRWSC016M). Finally, protective treatment uses TC for reliable operation in industrial environments.

Technical Specifications of BMXNGD0100

The Schneider Electric BMXNGD0100 has an integrated RJ45 Ethernet connection. Specifically, the speed is 10/100 Mbit/s using one twisted pair. Furthermore, the Ethernet port supports both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Communication services include Global Data for efficient sharing. Additionally, Modbus TCP messaging ensures broad device compatibility. Security features protect against unauthorized access.

The module draws internal power from the rack supply. Current consumption is 90 mA at 24 V DC. Net weight measures 0.4 lb which equals 0.2 kg. Local signaling includes multiple LED indicators for status. Specifically, a green LED shows Ethernet activity (ETH ACT). Another green LED indicates processor running status (RUN). A third green LED displays Ethernet network status (ETH STS).

A red LED indicates data rate at 100 Mbit (ETH 100). Another red LED shows memory card faults (CARD ERR). Finally, a red LED indicates processor or system faults (ERR). A RESET push-button provides cold restart functionality. The module format is standard for M580 racks. CE marking confirms European regulatory compliance.

The BMXNGD0100 operates within specific environmental limits. Ambient air temperature for operation is 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C). Relative humidity ranges from 10% to 95% without condensation. IP degree of protection is IP20 for indoor use. The module complies with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. Additionally, it meets EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.

Installation Guidelines for Schneider BMXNGD0100

First, insert the BMXNGD0100 into an available M580 rack slot. Then, push firmly until the module locks into position. After that, connect an RJ45 cable to the Ethernet port. Next, apply power to the M580 rack system. Subsequently, observe the LED indicators for proper startup. Finally, configure the Global Data service using programming software.

First, set the IP address for your network segment. Then, use the RESET button for a cold restart if needed. After that, configure Modbus TCP messaging for connected devices. Next, insert the supplied flash card (BMXRWSC016M) fully. Do not exceed the operating temperature of 140°F (60°C). Finally, secure the Ethernet cable with a strain relief tie.

Package Contents of BMXNGD0100

Your shipment includes these items:

One Schneider Electric BMXNGD0100 Ethernet module

One BMXRWSC016M flash memory card (supplied)

One product documentation leaflet

However, the package does not include the M580 rack. Therefore, you must purchase the rack separately. Also, no RJ45 cable is provided with this module. Finally, configuration software is not included in the shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions about BMXNGD0100

1. What is Global Data service on the BMXNGD0100?

The Schneider BMXNGD0100 provides Global Data service for efficient sharing. Specifically, multiple controllers exchange data without additional programming. Therefore, this reduces network traffic and improves performance. Use Global Data for real-time coordination between M580 systems.

2. Does the BMXNGD0100 include a memory card?

Yes, the BMXNGD0100 comes with a supplied BMXRWSC016M flash card. Specifically, this card stores application programs and web pages. Therefore, no separate purchase is needed for basic operation. Insert the card before powering up the module.

3. What is the power consumption of this Ethernet module?

The Schneider BMXNGD0100 consumes 90 mA at 24 V DC. Specifically, it draws power from the internal rack supply. Therefore, no external power connection is required. Check your rack power budget before adding multiple modules.

4. What do the red LEDs mean on the BMXNGD0100?

The BMXNGD0100 has three red LEDs for fault indication. Specifically, ETH 100 lights when operating at 100 Mbit speed. CARD ERR lights for memory card problems. ERR lights for processor or system faults. Therefore, consult the manual for detailed troubleshooting steps.

5. Is the BMXNGD0100 suitable for the Modicon M340 platform?

No, the Schneider BMXNGD0100 is designed exclusively for Modicon M580. Specifically, the M340 platform uses the BMXNOE0100 model instead. Therefore, check your system compatibility before ordering. The module format and backplane differ between these platforms.
