Ethernet/X-Bus Backplane Deterministic Communication
The BMXXBP1002 incorporates a dual-bus architecture integrating a high-speed Ethernet backplane alongside the legacy X-bus channel. The dual-bus design enables high-bandwidth, deterministic EtherNet/IP communication directly across the 8 dedicated Ethernet slots for complex process modules and BME processors, while maintaining backward compatibility for standard X-bus I/O cards. Internal signal routing ensures synchronized backplane bus communication velocity across all slots, shielding high-density I/O transactions from data collision and bus arbitration latencies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the structural difference between the 10 available slots on the BMXXBP1002?
A: The rack features 8 hybrid slots that support combined Bus X and Ethernet backplane connectivity for advanced processors and network modules, alongside 2 dedicated Bus X slots reserved exclusively for standard X-bus I/O modules.
Q: Can multiple BMXXBP1002 backplane racks be daisy-chained together?
A: Yes. The rack is equipped with an XBE expansion module connector slot, allowing local rack expansion via dedicated X-bus extension cables to connect secondary racks.
Q: What power supplies are compatible with the BMXXBP1002 backplane slot footprint?
A: The backplane directly interfaces with Modicon X80 power supply units, such as the BMXCPS4002, which distribute required 3.3 VDC and 24 VDC operating voltages across the internal backplane traces.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the backplane rack firmly onto a grounded enclosure backplate using four M6 screws or panel mounting hardware with a screw diameter between 4.32 mm and 6.35 mm.
- Ensure the grounding strip on the back panel makes clean metal-to-metal contact with the enclosure chassis to satisfy EN 61000-6-2 electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
- Seat the BMXCPS4002 or compatible Modicon X80 power supply in the left-most dedicated power slot before powering up the backplane.
- If utilizing multi-rack configurations, connect the XBE expansion cable to the side port and verify termination block placement on the last physical rack in the chain.
- Maintain IP20 ingress compliance by housing the rack assembly inside a NEMA/IP-rated protective enclosure free from conductive dust and corrosive fumes.
