Schneider Electric BMXDRA0805

Powerful Control with Modicon X80 BMXDRA0805 Discrete Output Module

The Modicon X80 BMXDRA0805 is a robust discrete output module designed for precision control in industrial applications. With 8 normally open (NO) relay outputs, this module delivers versatile functionality, operating seamlessly within a voltage range of 24 to 240V AC or 24V DC. Its compatibility with the Modicon X80 range ensures a reliable and powerful solution for various industrial setups.

Key Specifications for Enhanced Control

Featuring 8 EN/IEC 61131-2 compliant discrete output relays, the module is built to provide optimal control capabilities. Its relay output type and flexible voltage range, spanning from 24 to 240V AC to 12 to 24V DC, make it adaptable to diverse industrial requirements. With a conventional free air thermal current of 3 A, insulation resistance exceeding 10 MOhm at 500 V DC, and a power dissipation of 2.7 W, the BMXDRA0805 ensures efficient and reliable operation.

Protection and Safety Features

Ensuring the longevity and safety of operations, the module includes essential protection features. It recommends the use of 1 fast-blow fuse per channel or group of channels for output overload protection. For overvoltage protection, it suggests discharge diodes for DC outputs and RC circuits for AC outputs, along with ZnO surge limiters. The module also advocates for the use of fast-blow fuses per channel or group of channels to guard against short circuits, with a minimum switching current of 10 mA at 5 V DC.

Electrical Durability and Monitoring LEDs

With high electrical durability demonstrated across various cycles, including AC-15 and DC-13, the module ensures reliable performance. LED indicators simplify diagnostics, providing a clear visual indication of module operating status (RUN), channel diagnostics, module errors (ERR), and I/O status.

Environmental Considerations and Operating Conditions

Designed with environmental resilience, the module holds an IP20 degree of protection and exhibits resistance to corrosion and dust. It withstands dielectric strength tests of 2000 V AC at 50/60 Hz for 1 minute and offers resistance to vibrations up to 3 gn. Operating within a temperature range of 32 to 140 °F (0 to 60 °C), the module caters to diverse environmental conditions.
