Schneider BMXNOE0100 Ethernet Module Overview

The Schneider Electric BMXNOE0100 is a TCP/IP Ethernet network module. Specifically, it belongs to the Modicon M340 automation platform family. Therefore, this module adds Ethernet connectivity to M340 systems. Consequently, users select the BMXNOE0100 for transparent industrial networking. Moreover, the concept is Transparent Ready for seamless integration. Finally, the module includes a supplied flash card (BMXRWSC016M) for memory expansion.

Technical Specifications of BMXNOE0100

The Schneider Electric BMXNOE0100 has a product type of TCP/IP Ethernet module. Specifically, the integrated connection uses Ethernet TCP/IP over RJ45. Furthermore, the speed is 10/100 Mbit/s with one twisted pair. Protection processing uses TC for reliable operation. The module complies with Class B30 standards. Ethernet port supports both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.

Communication services include bandwidth management and data editing. Users can access the data editor via a PC terminal. Additionally, an FDR server handles device replacement. Rack viewer provides remote visualization capabilities. SNMP network manager enables standard monitoring tools. Global data exchange and I/O scanning are both supported. Modbus TCP messaging ensures compatibility with many devices. A configurable web server is also available.

The BMXNOE0100 draws power from the internal rack supply. Current consumption is 90 mA at 24 V DC. The net weight is only 0.2 kg for easy mounting. Local signaling includes multiple LED indicators. Specifically, a green LED shows Ethernet activity (ETH ACT). Another green LED indicates processor run 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 errors (CARD ERR). Finally, a red LED indicates processor or system errors (ERR). A RESET button provides cold start control. The module includes a supplied flash card (BMXRWSC016M). Memory usage covers application programming and web server activation.

Environmental and Certification Information

The Schneider Electric BMXNOE0100 operates from 0°C to 60°C. Relative humidity ranges from 10% to 95% non-condensing. IP rating is IP20 for indoor protection. The module complies with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. Additionally, it meets EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. CE marking confirms European regulatory compliance. This is a standard category module for general use.

Installation Guidelines for Schneider BMXNOE0100

First, insert the BMXNOE0100 into an available M340 rack slot. Then, push firmly until the module locks into place. After that, connect an RJ45 cable to the Ethernet port. Next, apply power to the M340 rack system. Subsequently, observe the LED indicators for proper startup. Finally, configure the IP address using a PC terminal.

First, set the rotary switches for the last two IP octets. Then, use the RESET button for a cold start if needed. After that, access the configurable web server via a browser. Next, enable I/O scanning for remote devices. Do not exceed the operating temperature of 60°C. Finally, secure the Ethernet cable with a strain relief clip.

Package Contents of BMXNOE0100

Your shipment includes these items:

One Schneider Electric BMXNOE0100 Ethernet module
