Schneider Electric BMXCRA31200 RIO Drop Adapter

Schneider Electric's BMXCRA31200 is the standard Ethernet RIO drop adapter for Modicon X80 remote I/O, designed to be installed in the main remote rack on an Ethernet backplane where only one BMXCRA31200 module is installed per RIO drop and no expansion rack is allowed. It functions as an Ethernet/IP (E/IP) remote IO drop interface and uses X-bus communications across the remote backplane, supporting only Modicon X80 discrete and analog I/O modules (excluding HART) and providing no time-stamping or Change Configuration on the Fly (CCOTF). Front features include a status display block and rotary switches that set the RIO drop address from 00 to 159, while two RJ45 ports (ETH 2 and ETH 3) enable connection to the Ethernet network. The BMXCRA31200 is positioned in Schneider Electric's Modicon X80 family as the standard drop adapter, with BMXCRA31210 listed as its extended-feature successor. Schneider Electric also notes end-of-commercialization for BMXCRA31200 on December 1, 2027, with standard service extending through December 31, 2035.
