BMXCPS2010 Modicon X80 DC Power Supply Module | Schneider Electric

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric BMXCPS2010 drives regulated electrical power directly to standard Modicon X80 automation backplanes. Operating on an isolated 24 V DC primary input, this module converts raw field power into two highly stabilized secondary direct-current channels. It energizes the main CPU processors, communications networks, and adjacent I/O hardware, serving as the core electrical backbone for remote telemetry units (RTUs), solar-powered field installations, and heavy-duty 24V control cabinets.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• High-Voltage Galvanic Isolation: Severe field voltage spikes easily migrate into control loops via shared DC links. The BMXCPS2010 eliminates this hazard by providing a robust 1500 V dielectric insulation barrier between the primary 24V supply circuit, the secondary backplane rails, and the chassis ground, protecting sensitive microprocessors from external field faults.

• Secondary Multi-Fault Defensive Layer: Downstream field wiring short-circuits or module overloads can freeze a whole automation system. This power module incorporates independent, non-stop secondary overvoltage, overload, and short-circuit protection circuits that instantly isolate electrical faults to safeguard the backplane components.

• Extended Immunity to Microbreaks: Fluctuating DC networks often experience sudden voltage drops when heavy motors start up. The internal capacitor arrays of this module deliver 1 ms of continuous immunity to microbreaks, sustaining clean, uninterrupted processing power to prevent unexpected PLC resets during power sags.

• Optimized Thermal and Environmental Footprint: The module limits its maximum power dissipation to a low 8.5 W, reducing heat generation inside airtight field enclosures. Complemented by a TC protective treatment (tropicalization), the card resists moisture, corrosion, and ambient relative humidity up to 95%, operating reliably across a 0 to 60°C window.

• Versatile Field Wiring Distances: The unit accommodates long-distance remote panel deployments. Its primary input stage supports copper power supply cables extending up to 65.6 feet (20 m) using 1.5 mm² wire gauges, or up to 98.4 feet (30 m) using 2.5 mm² conductors, minimizing voltage drop degradation across long runs.

FAQs

• Is this BMXCPS2010 power supply a brand new unit?

  Yes. We sell this product exclusively as a 100% brand new, original factory unit. It ships direct in the original manufacturer sealed box with all production quality stickers and installation guides intact.

• Can I run this module on a standard 110V or 220V AC utility line?

  No. This module accepts only a direct-current input. It requires a stable 24 V DC source and operates within a strict input voltage window of 18 V DC to 31.2 V DC. Connecting an AC line supply will permanently destroy the unit.

• Does this power supply slot into the Ethernet-enabled BMEXBP series backplanes?

  No. The BMXCPS2010 fits standard Modicon X80 racks. It is explicitly incompatible with the hybrid Ethernet backplanes starting with the prefix code "BMEXBP..02". Verify your rack model prefix before performing installation.

• What function does the front mechanical button perform?

  The front face houses a dedicated RESET push-button. Pressing this button executes a cold restart of the rack system, allowing field technicians to clear software locks or initialize hardware states directly at the enclosure without toggling the primary field breakers.
