Single-rack configuration
Presentation
BMX XBP pp00 racks are the basic element in Modicon M340 platform single-rack
and multi-rack configurations. They perform the following functions:
Mechanical function: they are used to install all the modules in a PLC station
(power
supply, processor, discrete, analog and application-specific I/O). These racks
can be mounted on a panel, plate or DIN rail:
Inside enclosures
On machine frames, etc.
Electrical function: the racks incorporate a Bus X (proprietary bus). They are used
to:
Distribute the power supplies required for each module in the same rack
Distribute data and service signals for the entire PLC station
Hot swap modules during operation
Description
BMX XBP pp00 racks are available in 4, 6, 8 or 12-slot versions and comprise:
1 A metal frame that performs the following functions:
Holds the Bus X electronic card and protects it against EMI and ESD type
interference
Holds the modules
Gives the rack mechanical rigidity
2 An earth terminal for earthing the rack
3 4 holes (big enough for M6 screws) for mounting the rack on a frame
4 2 fixing points for the shielding connection bar
5 Tapped holes to take the locking screw on each module
6 A connector for a rack expansion module, marked XBE
7 40-way female ½ DIN connectors forming the electrical connection between the rack
and each module, marked
CPS, 00…11 (the rack is delivered with each connector
protected by a cover, which must be removed before inserting the module)
8 Slots for anchoring the module pins
To be ordered separately:
A BMX XSP pp00 cable shielding connection kit, used to protect against
electrostatic discharge when connecting the shielding on cordsets for connecting:
Analog, counter and motion control modules
A Magelis XBT operator interface to the processor (via BMX XCA USBH0pp
shielded USB cable)
The BMX XSP pp00 shielding connection kit comprises:
9 A metal bar that takes the clamping rings and the earthing terminalterminal
10 Two sub-bases to be mounted on the rack
11 An earthing terminal
12 Not included in the shielding connection kit, the STB XSP 30p0 clamping rings (sold
in lots of 10, cross-section 1.5…6 mm
2
or 5…11 mm

)
Function
Addressing modules in a single-rack configuration (1)
Each rack must contain a power supply module and a processor module.
Installing the modules in the rack:
The power supply module always occupies the
CPS slot
The processor module must always be installed in slot
00
I/O modules and application-specific modules are installed from slot 01 to slot:
03 for a 4-slot rack
05 for a 6-slot rack
07 for an 8-slot rack
11 for a 12-slot rack
