The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC BMXP342020 Modicon M340 CPU340-20 Modbus Ethernet Processor Module is a high-performance PLC processor designed for the Modicon M340 automation platform. It provides integrated processing and communication capabilities for industrial automation, machine control and distributed I/O applications.
The BMXP342020 features an integrated Ethernet TCP/IP RJ45 interface supporting 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, with services including Modbus TCP messaging, SNMP network management, Rack Viewer and Data Editor. Schneider Electric specifies support for up to 1,024 discrete I/O and 256 analog I/O in a multi-rack configuration.
The processor also provides an integrated serial connection supporting Modbus master/slave RTU and ASCII communication, making it suitable for connecting industrial devices such as drives, meters, sensors and other Modbus-compatible equipment.
The BMXP342020 is well suited for factory automation, process automation, machine control, production lines, industrial communication systems and PLC modernization projects. Its integrated Ethernet capability helps simplify communication between the M340 controller and supervisory or networked industrial equipment.
Important: The native Ethernet interface supports Modbus TCP, not Ethernet/IP. Schneider Electric specifically states that an additional BMXNOC module is required when Ethernet/IP communication is needed.
