Schneider Electric BMXP341000 Modicon M340 Processor 512 DI/128 AI Modbus Programmable Logic Controller

The Schneider Electric BMXP341000 is a Modicon M340 processor module supporting up to 512 discrete or 128 analog I/O points across a 2-rack configuration, with built-in Modbus RTU/ASCII serial ports and slots for 2 Ethernet and 2 AS-Interface communication modules. It draws 72 mA at 24 V DC and stores programs on a supplied memory card.

Selection Notes

Specify the BMXP341000 when the application needs dual-rack expansion, up to 512 discrete or 128 analog I/O, plus onboard RS232/RS485 Modbus ports without adding a separate communication module; the 2 Ethernet and 2 AS-Interface module slots leave room to add networking later. For single-rack machines with a smaller I/O count, a lower-capacity M340 processor in the same platform is the better fit.

Applications

Central processor for Modicon M340 Programmable Automation Controller architectures in process industries, water/wastewater, cement, manufacturing, and infrastructure applications, including installations extending into Class I Division 2 hazardous locations.
