Integrator note: backplane extension for the M340 platform
The BMXXBE2005: Rated for IEC 61131-2, IEC 61010-2-201, UL 61010-2-201, CSA C22.2 No 61010-2-201, IACS, IEC 61000-6-5 (interface types 1 and 2), IEC 61850-3 (location G), and ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. The kit carries a hazardous location classification of Class I Division 2.
Comparison: BMXXBE2005 vs BMXXBE1000H ruggedized expander
The sibling BMXXBE1000H is designated as a ruggedized backplane expander for severe environments (3C3, 3C4 per IEC 60721-3-3), with conformal coating, wider temperature range (-25 to 70 °C), and additional environmental hardening. The BMXXBE2005 is the standard variant — it shares the same core certifications (IEC, UL, ATEX, Class I Div 2) but does not carry the severe-environment rating or conformal coating.
The BMXXBE2005 is an active, current-production part. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notification is on record. For BOM planning, the part can be ordered against a standard RFQ.
