Integration notes
The BMXART0814 is an 8-channel analog input module that sits in a Modicon X80 (M340) rack. It accepts thermocouples (B, E, J, K, L, N, R, S, T, U), RTDs (Pt100, Pt1000, Ni100, Ni1000, Cu10), and voltage inputs from ±40 mV to ±1.28 V. Each channel is isolated from the others, which saves grounding gymnastics in multi-sensor panels. The sigma-delta converter gives 15 bits plus sign resolution. Read cycle is 400 ms for RTDs and 200 ms for thermocouples—fast enough for process loops, not for high-speed anvils. Current draw is 150 mA at 3.3 V and 50 mA at 24 V; budget accordingly in the rack power supply. Connection is via dual 40-pin connectors. The module carries IP20, operates from 0 to 60 °C, and survives 30 gn shock and 3 gn vibration—rated for industrial panel environments.
Compliance summary
The module holds IEC 61131-2 (PLC standard), IEC 61000-6-4 (emission), IEC 61000-6-2 (immunity), and EN 61010-2-201 (safety) compliance. It also meets the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. These are the documents typically asked for in panel certification audits.
