What the BMEXBP0602 is
The Schneider BMEXBP0602 is a Modicon X80 dual-Ethernet backplane rack — slotted for 6 bus-X + Ethernet modules and carrying one XBE expansion connector for chaining further racks downstream.
Three fixing modes are on the data plate: four screws (4.32–6.35 mm diameter) on a panel cutout, four M6 screws on a plate, or clip-mount on a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail — choose by what the cabinet already gives you. IP20 on the rack itself, so the BMEXBP0602 belongs inside an enclosure; operating envelope is 0–60 °C ambient with 5–95 % non-condensing humidity.
Power budget at the rack
Draw on the backplane is 152 mA from 24 VDC and 58 mA from 3.3 VDC, translating to 3.6 W at 24 V plus 191 mW at 3.3 V — what the 24 V supply has to keep up with on top of whatever modules sit in the six slots. The 8-slot BMEXBP1002 lists 162 mA at 24 V DC and 76 mA at 3.3 V DC on the same XBE expansion connector, against the BMEXBP0602's 152 mA and 58 mA on the respective rails.
Compliance declarations on the spec: 2014/35/EU low-voltage directive and 2014/30/EU electromagnetic compatibility directive — what your documentation pack needs to reference for CE technical-file build. MTBF on the spec lands at 1,353,797 h, a useful reliability-planning number when the cabinet BOM gets rolled into a longer-term availability study.
Sourcing posture
For procurement: this is a specified-into-the-BOM active part — lead the close with the 6-slot + dual-Ethernet fit, the 152 mA / 3.6 W backplane budget, and the active status; pricing is on RFQ rather than off a shelf. For panel layout: if a line was built against the 8-slot BMEXBP1002, the BMEXBP0602 is not a footprint-equivalent swap — it loses two bus-X slots and shifts the backplane draw, so verify I/O assignment and supply sizing before specifying it as a one-for-one alternate.
