Schneider Electric BMXEHC0800 Modicon M340 8-Channel High Speed Counter 10kHz PLC I/O Module

The Schneider Electric BMXEHC0800 is a Modicon M340 high-speed counter module with 8 counting channels — 2 single-mode and 3 special dual-phase-mode inputs per channel type — running at up to 10,000 Hz. It supports up/down counting, 32-bit counting, frequency-meter and loop (modulo) functions, and completes a counting cycle every 5 ms.

Selection Notes

The BMXEHC0800 trades top counting speed for channel density, handling 8 independent counters at up to 10,000 Hz versus a 2-channel counter module's 60,000 Hz ceiling — the right choice when a machine needs many medium-speed counting points (part counters, low-speed encoders) rather than one or two very fast ones. A single 20-pin connector wires all 8 channels, simplifying panel wiring compared with the separate per-channel connectors on a 2-channel module. Pick the 2-channel module instead whenever an application needs to resolve pulses above 10,000 Hz.
