Product Overview

The BMXDDI1602 serves as a high-density discrete input interface for the Schneider Electric Modicon X80 automation platform. This 16-channel module is engineered to capture digital signals from field devices such as sensors, limit switches, and pushbuttons, converting them into actionable data for the PLC processor. Operating on a 24V DC positive logic (sink) configuration, it provides a robust link between the physical process and the control logic. Its single-slot form factor is designed for maximum space efficiency within the X80 backplane, supporting modular scalability for both M340 and M580 PAC systems.

Technical Parameters and Hardware Dimensions

Designed for precise signal acquisition in demanding electrical environments, this module features significant isolation and rapid processing capabilities. The hardware is housed in an IP20-rated enclosure, ensuring protection against solid objects while maintaining a low thermal footprint.
