Sourcing at a glance
BMEXBP0800H is a current-production Modicon X80 backplane — active, no phase-out notice. 8 bus slots plus one dedicated Ethernet port, sized for the rugged X80 I/O family. Conformal coating and an operating range of -25 to 70 °C put this in the hardened subset, rated for Class I Division 2 hazardous locations and ISA S71.04 Gx gas environments.
Mounting and installation
Three fixing options: 35 mm DIN rail clips, panel mount via four M6 screws, or plane mount with four screws of 4.32…6.35 mm diameter. Current draw is 64 mA at 3.3 V DC and 164 mA at 24 V DC, total power 3.9 W on the 24 V rail. IP20, no condensation above 95 % RH. MTBF is 1297516 hours.
Compliance and environmental qualifications
Meets IEC 61131-2, UL 61010-2-201, CSA C22.2 No 61010-2-201, IEC 61850-3 (substation G location), and IEC 60079-0 (hazardous area). Carries the ATEX directive (2014/34/EU) alongside low-voltage and EMC directives. Environmental resistance covers gas (Gx, 3C4), dust (3S4), salt spray (level 2), mold, and fungal spores. No change in production status — still active. Documentation package (declarations, certificates) is available on request with an RFQ.
