Introduction to the MAC address

The MAC address is located on the front panel of the processor below the processor display panel.
60 35012676 04/2015
Introduction to the Rotary Switches

This processor operates as a single node on an Ethernet and possibly other networks. The module
must have a unique IP address. The 2 rotary switches on the back of the module provide a simple
way to select an IP address:
NOTE: Set the arrow firmly into the desired position. If you do not feel the switch click into place,
the value of the switch may be incorrect or undetermined.
Each rotary switch position that you can use to set a valid IP address is marked on the module.
The following information summarizes the valid address settings:
z device name: for a switch-set device name, select a numeric value from 00 to 159. You can use
both switches:
z On the upper switch (TENS digit), the available settings are 0 to 15
z On the lower switch (ONES digit), the available settings are 0 to 9.
For example, a BMX P34 2020 processor with the switch setting in the above figure is assigned
the DHCP device name BMX_2020_123.
The selection on the lower switch of any non-numeric parameter (BOOTP, STORED, CLEAR
IP, DISABLED) makes the setting on the upper switch inconsequential.
z BOOTP: To get an IP address from a BOOTP server, select either of the two BOOTP positions
on the bottom switch.
z STORED: The device uses the application’s configured (stored) parameters.
z CLEAR IP: The device uses the default IP parameters.
z DISABLED: The device does not respond to communications.
The functionality of the rotary switch when used in conjunction with the Unity Pro IP Configuration
tab (see Modicon M340 for Ethernet, Communications Modules and Processors, User Manual) is
discussed throughout the IP Address chapter (see Modicon M340 for Ethernet, Communications
Modules and Processors, User Manual).
35012676 04/2015 61
Switch Labels
To assist you in setting the rotary switches to their proper positions, a label is affixed to the right
side of the module. The switch settings are described in this table:
Upper Switch
0 to 9: Tens value for the device name
(0, 10, 20 . . . 90)
10(A) to 15(F): Tens value for the
device name (100, 110, 120 . . . 150)
Lower Switch
0 to 9: Ones value for the device name
(0, 1, 2 . . . 9)
Bootp: Set the switch to A or B to
receive an IP address from a BOOTP
server.
Stored: Set the switch to C or D to use
the application’s configured (stored)
parameters.
Clear IP: Set the switch to E to use the
default IP parameters.
Disabled: Set the switch to F to disable
communications.

Real-Time Clock
Introduction
Each BMX P34 xxxxx processor has a real-time clock which manages:
z The current date and time
z The date and time of the last application shut-down
When power of the processor is turned off, the real-time clock continues counting during four
weeks. This duration is guarantied for a temperature below 45°C (113°F). At a higher temperature
this duration is reduced. No maintenance is requested for a real-time clock back up.
Current Date and Time

The processor updates the current date and time in the system words %SW49...%SW53 and %SW70.
This data is in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal).
System Word Most Significant Byte Least Significant Byte

%SW49 00 Days of the week in the range of values
1 - 7 (1 for Monday and 7 for Sunday)
%SW50 Seconds (0 - 59) 00
%SW51 Hours (0 - 23) Minutes (0 - 59)
%SW52 Month (1 - 12) Days of the month (1 - 31)
%SW53 Century (0 - 99) Year (0 - 99)
%SW70 Week (1 - 52)
Accessing the Date and Time

You can access the date and time as follows:
z through the processor debug screen.
z with the program:
z Reading system words: %SW49 - %SW53 if the system bit %S50 is at 0,
z immediate update: writing system words %SW50 to %SW53 if the system bit %S50 is at 1,
z incremental update: writing the system word %SW59. With this word the date and time can be
set field by field from the current value (if the system bit %S59 is at 1), or an overall
increment/decrement can be done.
The following table shows the function performed by each bit in the word %SW59.
Bit Range Function

0 Increments the day of the week
1 Increments the seconds
2 Increments the minutes
3 Increments the hours
4 Increments the days
64 35012676 04/2015
Bit Range Function

5 Increments the months
6 Increments the years
7 Increments the centuries
8 Decrements the day of the week
9 Decrements the seconds
10 Decrements the minutes
11 Decrements the hours
12 Decrements the days
13 Decrements the months
14 Decrements the years
15 Decrements the centuries
NOTE: The function is performed when the corresponding bit %S59 is at 1.

NOTE: The processor does not automatically manage Daylight Savings Time.
Date and Time of the Last Application Shutdown

The date and time of the last application shutdown are in BCD in the system words %SW54 - %SW58.
System Word Most Significant Byte Least Significant Byte

%SW54 Seconds (0 to 59) 00
%SW55 Hours (0 to 23) Minutes (0 to 59)
%SW56 Month (1 to 12) Days of the month (1 to 31)
%SW57 Century (0 to 99) Year (0 to 99)
%SW58 Day of the week (1 to 7) Reason for the last application shutdown
The reason for the last application shutdown can be accessed by reading the least significant byte
of the system word %SW58 (value in BCD) which can have the following values.
Word value %SW58 Meaning

1 Application switched to STOP mode.
2 Application stopped by watchdog.
4 Power loss or memory card lock operation.
5 Stop on hardware fault.
6 Stop on software fault (HALT instruction, SFC errors,
application CRC check fail, undefined system function call,
etc). Details on the software fault type are stored in %SW125.

Electrical Characteristics of the BMX P34 xxxxx Processors
General
The processors can support certain devices which do not have their own power supply. It is,
therefore, necessary to take the power consumption of these devices into account when
establishing the overall power consumption breakdown.
Processor Power Consumption

The following table shows the power consumption for all the BMX P34 xxxxx processors with no
connected devices.
Processor Average Consumption

BMX P34 1000 72 mA
BMX P34 2000 72 mA
BMX P34 2010/20102 90 mA
BMX P34 2020 95 mA
BMX P34 2030/20302 135 mA
NOTE: The processor power consumption values are measured at the 24 V_BAC output of the
power supply module, which is the only power supply output used by the processors.
NOTE: When a device consumes power on the processor serial port connection, its power needs
to be added to the power consumed by the processor. The power supplied by the serial port is
5 VCC/190 mA.
NOTICE
IMPROPER POWER SUPPLY
Only use network power-supplied devices tested by Schneider Electric.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTE: It is possible to use network power-supplied devices not tested by Schneider Electric.
However, their operation is not guaranteed. For further information, please contact your Schneider
sales office.

Memory Card Description

Only Schneider memory cards are compatible with BMX P34 •••• processors.
Schneider memory cards use Flash technology and do not require a battery. These cards can
support about 100,000 write/delete cycles (typical).
Three models of memory card are available:
z The BMX RMS 008MP card, used to save application and Web pages.
z The BMX RMS 008MPF card, used to save applications and Web pages as well as to store user
files created by the application with the file management function blocks (or files transferred
through FTP). The available size for user files in the file system partition is 8 MB (Data Storage
area).
z The BMX RMS 128MPF card, used to save applications and Web pages as well as to store user
files created by the application with the file management function blocks (or files transferred
through FTP). The available size for user files in the file system partition is 128 MB (Data
Storage area).
NOTE: The web pages are Schneider Electric pages and cannot be modified.
NOTE: The BMX RMS 008MP card is supplied with each processor, the other ones must be
ordered separately.
Memory Card Characteristics

The following table shows the main characteristics of the memory cards.
Memory Card Reference Application Storage Data Storage

BMX RMS 008MP Yes No
BMX RMS 008MPF Yes 8 MB
BMX RMS 128MPF Yes 128 MB
NOTE: The size shown above for the Data Storage area is the maximum recommended size for
user files, although file storage is still possible until the global file system partition is full. The risk
of going over this recommended maximum is that sufficient free space may not be available for a
firmware upgrade, in this case it would be necessary to delete some user files.
The compatibility of the two memory cards is as follows:
z BMX RMS 008MP card compatible with all processors.
z BMX RMS 008MPF and BMX RMS 128MPF cards compatible with the following processors:
z BMX P34 2000,

z BMX P34 2010,
z BMX P34 20102,
z BMX P34 2020,
z BMX P34 2030,
z BMX P34 20302.
35012676 04/2015 81
NOTE: The memory card is formatted for use with Schneider Electric products. Do not attempt to
use or format the card in any other tool. Doing so will prevent program and data transfer usage in
a Modicon M340 PLC.
NOTE: For further information about the memory structure of the memory cards, see the Memory
Structure of Modicon M340 PLCs (see Unity Pro, Program Languages and Structure, Reference
Manual ) page.
NOTE: For further information about Ethernet services provided by memory cards, see the
Modicon M340 Memory cards (see Modicon M340 for Ethernet, Communications Modules and
Processors, User Manual) page in the Ethernet Communication part.
Memory Card Access LED

A memory card access LED is included on all Modicon M340 processors. This LED informs the
user of the memory card’s status for its removal.
The following illustration shows the physical location of the memory card access LED:
This LED is green and has several different states:

z On: the card is recognized and the processor has access to it,
z Flashing: the LED goes off each time the processor accesses it and comes on again at the end
of access,
z Off: the card may be removed as the processor has no access to it.
NOTE: A rising edge on the bit %S65 finishes the current actions, disables access to the card, then
switches off the CARDAC LED. As soon as this LED is off, the card can be removed.
NOTE: The memory card access LED is only visible if the cover is open.
NOTE: The red CARDERR LED shows that either the memory card is in error or the memorized
application is different from the one processed by the processor. It is located near the top of the
processor front panel.

into its slot.
Note: Insertion of the memory card does
not force an application restore.
3 Close the memory card protective cover.
84 35012676 04/2015
Memory Card Removal Procedure

Before removing a memory card, a rising edge on bit %S65 has to be generated to ensure the
information consistency. When the CARDAC LED is off, then it is possible to extract the card.
There is a risk of inconsistency or loss of data if the extraction is done without the management of
the bit %S65. The following illustration shows the procedure for removing a memory card from a
BMX P34 •••• processor.

1 Open the processor’s protective cover by Opening the cover:
pulling the cover towards you.
2 Push the memory card in its slot. Pushing the memory card in its slot:
Result: The card should unclip from its slot.
3 Remove the card from its slot. Removing the memory card:
Note: The CARDERR LED is on when the
memory card is removed from the
processor.
4 Close the protective cover.
35012676 04/2015 85
Update an Application
Before removing a memory card, a rising edge on bit %S65 has to be generated to ensure the
information consistency. When the CARDAC LED is off, then it is possible to extract the card.
There is a risk of inconsistency or loss of data if the extraction is done without the management of
the bit %S65.The following table shows the procedure for updating an application in a processor
using a master memory card.
Step Description
1 Put the PLC in STOP.
2 Set bit %S65 to 1 and check that the CARDAC LED is off.
3 Remove the currently used memory card, which includes the old application.
4 Insert the master memory card in the the processor.
5 Press the RESET button on the power supply.
Result: the new application is transferd to internal RAM.
6 Remove the master memory card.
7 Insert the memory card with the old application in the the processor.
8 Do a backup command.
9 Put the PLC in RUN mode.
Protect an Application
%SW146-147: those 2 system words contain the unique SD card serial number (32bits). If there is
not an SD card or an unrecognized SD card, the 2 system words are set to 0. This information can
be used to protect an application against duplication: the application is able to check the value of
serial number and can go to halt (or other convenient action) if it is different from the initial one.
Thus, this application cannot run on a different SD card.
With Unity Pro, the application must be read-protected. To do that, uncheck the Upload information
in the Project settings.
NOTE: to enforce the protection, you can encrypt the value of the serial number used in the
comparison.
NOTE: the complete SD card identification comprises several parameters including the product
serial number (32bits).
86 35012676 04/2015
Precautions
To keep the memory card in normal working order, the following precautions should be taken:
z Avoid removing the memory card from its slot when the processor is accessing it (green access
LED on or flashing).
z Avoid touching the memory card connectors.
z Keep the memory card away from electrostatic and electromagnetic sources as well as heat,
sunlight, water, and moisture.
z Avoid impacts to the memory card.
z Before sending a memory card by post, check the postal service’s security policy. In some
countries the postal service exposes mail to high levels of radiation, as a security measure.
These high levels of radiation may erase the contents of the memory card and render it
unusable.
z If a card is extracted without generating a rising edge of the bit %S65 and without checking that
the CARDAC LED is off, there is a risk of loss of data (file, application).

Searching for Errors Using the Processor Status LEDs
General
The status LEDs located on the processor inform the user of the PLC’s operating mode and any
possible errors.
The errors detected by the PLC concern:
z circuits which constitute the PLC and/or its modules: internal errors
z the process driven by the PLC or the process wiring: external errors
z functioning of the application executed by the PLC: internal or external errors
Error Detection
Error detection is performed at startup (autotest) or during operation (which is the case for most
equipment errors), during exchanges with the modules, or during execution of a program
instruction.
Certain "serious" errors require the PLC to be restarted while others are left to the user to decide
how to proceed depending on the level of application required.
There are three types of error:
z non-blocking
z blocking
z processor or system
35012676 04/2015 95
Blocking Errors
General
Blocking errors, caused by the application program, do not cause system errors but prohibit
execution of the program. When such an error occurs, the PLC stops immediately and goes into
HALT mode (all tasks are stopped on the current instruction). The ERR LED flashes.
Restarting of the Application After a Blocking Error

To end this status it is necessary to init the PLC or to set the %S0 bit to 1.
The application is then in an initial state:
z The data resumes its initial value.
z Tasks are stopped at end of cycle.
z The input image is refreshed.
z Outputs are controlled in fallback position.
The RUN command then allows the application to be restarted.
Blocking Error Diagnosis

Indication of a blocking error is signaled by the ERR and RUN LEDs flashing on the processor front
panel.
The system words %SW126 and %SW127 indicate the address of the instruction which caused the
blocking error.
The nature of the error is indicated by the system word %SW125.
The following table presents the errors signaled by the values of the system word %SW125.

Non-Blocking Errors
General
A non-blocking error is caused by an input/output error on the bus or through execution of an
instruction. It can be processed by the user program and does not modify the PLC status.
Non-Blocking Errors Linked to Inputs/Outputs

Indication of a non-blocking error linked to the inputs/outputs is signaled by:
z the processor’s I/O status LED on
z the modules’ I/O status LEDs on
z the error bits and words combined with the channel:
z bit %Ir.m.c.ERR at 1 indicates the channel at error (implicit exchanges)
z words %MWr.m.c.2 indicates the channel’s type of error (implicit exchanges)
z system bits:
z %S10: input/output error on one of the modules on the rack bus
z %S16: input/output error in the task in progress
z %S118: input/output error on the CANopen bus
z %S40 - %S47: input/output error on address racks 0-7
The following table shows the diagnosis of non-blocking errors from the status LEDs and the
system bits.

Non-Blocking Errors Linked to Execution of the Program

Indication of a non-blocking error linked to execution of the program is signaled by one or more
system bits %S15, %S18, and %S20 being set to 1. The nature of the error is indicated in the system
word %SW125 (always updated).
The following table shows the diagnosis of non-blocking errors linked to the execution of the
program.

NOTE: There are two ways to change non-blocking errors linked to the execution of the program
to blocking errors:
z Diagnostic program function, accessible through the Unity Pro programming software
z Bit %S78 (HALTIFERROR) when it is set to 1.
The processor’s HALT status is determined via the flashing ERR and I/O LEDs.
Testing and setting these system bits to 0 is the user’s responsibility.

Processor or System Errors
General
Processor or system errors are serious errors related either to the processor (equipment or
software) or to the rack bus wiring. The system can no longer operate correctly when these errors
occur. They cause the PLC to stop in ERROR status, which requires a cold restart. The next cold
restart will be forced in STOP status to prevent the PLC from returning to error.

Execution of Tasks
General
BMX P34 •••• processors can execute single-task and multi-task applications. Unlike a single-task
application, which only executes master tasks, a multi-task application .defines the task execution
priorities.
Master Task
The master task represents the application program’s main task. You can choose from the
following MAST task execution modes:
z Cyclical (default setup): execution cycles are performed in sequence, one after the other.
z Periodical: a new cycle is started periodically, according to a user-defined time period (1 -
255 ms).
If the execution time is longer than the period configured by the user, the bit %S19 is set to 1 and
a new cycle is launched.
The following illustration shows the cyclical execution of the MAST task:
The following illustration shows the periodical execution of the MAST task:
Both MAST task cycle modes are controlled by a watchdog.

The watchdog is triggered if the MAST task execution time is longer than the maximum period
defined in the configuration, and causes a software error. The application then goes into HALT
status, and the bit %S11 is set to 1 (the user must reset it to 0).
102 35012676 04/2015

The watchdog value (%SW11) may be configured between 10 ms and 1,500 ms (default value:
250 ms).
NOTE: Configuring the watchdog to a value that is less than the period is not allowed.
In periodical operating mode, an additional check detects when a period has been exceeded. The
PLC will not switch off if the period overrun remains less than the watchdog value.
Bit %S19 signals a period overrun. It is set to 1 by the system when the cycle time becomes longer
than the task period. Cyclical execution then replaces periodical execution.
The MAST task can be checked with the following system bits and system words:
System Object Description

%SW0 MAST task period
%S30 Activation of the master task
%S11 Watchdog default
%S19 Period exceeded
%SW27 Last cycle overhead time (in ms)
%SW28 Longest overhead time (in ms)
%SW29 Shortest overhead time (in ms)
%SW30 Last cycle execution time (in ms)
%SW31 Longest cycle execution time (in ms)
%SW32 Shortest cycle execution time (in ms)
Fast Task
The FAST task is for periodical processing and processing over short durations.
FAST task execution is periodical and must be quick so that no lower priority tasks overrun. The
FAST task period can be configured (1 - 255 ms). The FAST task execution principle is the same
as for periodical execution of the master task.
The FAST task can be checked with the following system bits and system words:

%SW1 FAST task period
%S31 Activation of the fast task
%S11 Watchdog default
%S19 Period exceeded
%SW33 Last cycle execution time (in ms)
%SW34 Longest cycle execution time (in ms)
%SW35 Shortest cycle execution time (in ms)
35012676 04/2015 103

Event Tasks
With event processing, the application program’s reaction time can be reduced for events
originating from:
z input/output modules (EVTi blocks),
z events timers (TIMERi blocks).
Event processing execution is asynchronous. The occurrence of an event reroutes the application
program towards the process associated with the input/output channel, or to the event timer that
caused the event.
Event tasks can be checked with the following system bits and system words:

%S38 Activation of events processing
%S39 Saturation of the event signal management stack.
%SW48 Number of IO events and telegram processes executed
NOTE: TELEGRAM is available only for PREMIUM (not on Quantum
neither M340)
Single Task Execution

A single-task application program is associated with one task; the MAST task.

z MAST task system overhead time
z maximum communication system reception time and input management time for implicit
inputs/outputs
z maximum communication system transmission time and output management time for implicit
inputs/outputs

For BMX P34 2000/2010/20102/2020/2030/20302 processors, the MAST task system overhead
time is 700 μs.
NOTE:
Three system words give information on the MAST task system overhead times:
z %SW27: last cycle overhead time,
z %SW28: longest overhead time,
z %SW29: shortest overhead time.

The implicit input management time is the sum of the following:
z Fixed base of 25 μs,
z Sum of the input management times for each module (in the following table, IN).
The implicit output management time is the sum of the following:

z Fixed base of 25 μs (FAST), 73 μs (MAST),

Communication System Time

Communication (excluding telegrams) is managed during the MAST task internal processing
phases:
z on input for receiving messages
z on output for sending messages
The MAST task cycle time is, therefore, affected by the communication traffic. The communication
time spent per cycle varies considerably, based on the following elements:
z traffic generated by the processor: number of communication EFs active simultaneously
z traffic generated by other devices to the processor, or for which the processor ensures the
routing function as master
This time is only spent in the cycles where there is a new message to be managed.
NOTE: These times may not all occur in the same cycle. Messages are sent in the same PLC cycle
as instruction execution when communication traffic is low. However, responses are never
received in the same cycle as instruction execution.
110 35012676 04/2015

MAST Task Cycle Time Calculation
General
The MAST task cycle time can be calculated before the implementation phase, if the desired PLC
configuration is already known. The cycle time may also be determined during the implementation
phase, using the system words %SW30 - %SW32.
Calculation Method
The following table shows how to calculate the MAST task cycle time.
Step Action
1 Calculate the input and output internal processing time by adding the following
times:
z MAST task system overhead time (see page 108)
z maximum communication system reception time and input management
time for implicit inputs/outputs (see page 108)
z maximum communication system transmission time and output
management time for implicit inputs/outputs (see page 108)
2 Calculate the program processing time (see page 107) according to the
number of instructions and the type (Boolean, digital) of program.
3 Add together the program processing time, and the input and output internal
processing time.
35012676 04/2015 111

FAST Task Cycle Time
Definition
The FAST task cycle time is the sum of the following:
z program processing time
z internal processing time on input and output
Definition of Internal Processing Time on Input and Output

The internal processing time on input and output is the sum of the following:
z FAST task system overhead time
z implicit input/output management time on input/output (see page 108)
For the BMX P34 20x0x processors, the FAST task system overhead time is 130 μs.
112 35012676 04/2015

General
The response time is the time between an edge on an event input and the corresponding edge on
an output positioned by the program in an event task.
Response Time
The following table gives the response time for the BMX P34 20x0x processors with an application
program of 100 Boolean instructions and the module.

General Introduction
Introduction
BMX CPS •••• power supply modules are used to supply each BMX XBP •••• rack and its modules.
The choice of power supply module depends on the distributed network (alternating or direct
current) and the power required.
There are two types of power supply modules:
z power supply modules for alternating current networks.
z power supply modules for direct current networks.
Auxiliary Functions of the Power Supply Modules

Each power supply module has the following auxiliary functions:
z display panel
z alarm relay
z pencil tip push button which causes a reset of the rack when pressed.
z 24 VDC sensor supply (only on modules powered by 125 VDC or an alternating current
network).
The following diagram shows a BMX CPS •••• power supply module:

Definition of Protection Devices at the Start of the Line
Introduction
It is recommended that you install a protection device at the start of the line on the power supply
network, including the following elements:
z circuit breaker
z fuse
The following information allows definition of the minimum caliber circuit breaker and fuse for a
given power supply module.
Choice of Line Circuit Breaker

When you choose the caliber of the line circuit breaker, consider:
z nominal input current (Imrs)
z signaling current (I)
z current characteristic (It)
The choice of minimum circuit breaker caliber is made according to the following rules:
z IN circuit breaker caliber greater than the power supply nominal input current (lrms)
z maximum circuit breaker caliber greater than the power supply signaling current (I)
z current characteristic (It) at point A of the curve greater than the power supply characteristic (It)
The following graph shows an example of characteristics provided by a circuit breaker
manufacturer:
122 35012676 04/2015

Choice of Line Fuse

When you choose the caliber of the line fuse, consider:
z current characteristic (I2t)
The choice of minimum fuse caliber is made according to the following rules:
z IN fuse caliber greater than 3 times the power supply nominal input current Irms
z fuse current characteristic I2t greater than 3 times the power supply characteristic I2t

The following illustration shows the installed the power supply module.
NOTE: Each power supply module has a guidance device which only allows it to be placed in the
correct slot.
Assembly
The assembly of the BMX CPS •••• power supply modules is similar to the assembly of the
BMX P34 •••• processors (see page 79), and, generally speaking, similar to the assembly of other
modules.

Sensor and Pre-actuator Power Supply Control by Alarm Relay
How to Set Up Sensor and Pre-actuator Power Supply

It is recommended that control of the different power supplies is set up in the following sequence.
Step Action
1 Switch on the power supply to the PLC and the inputs (sensors), using the
contactor KM (see diagram (see page 133)).
2 When the PLC is in RUN mode and running on MANU/AUTO, switch on the
output power supply (pre-actuators), using the contactor KA. Only in AUTO,
this is controlled by the alarm relay contact in each power supply.
Note:
In alternating current, the contactor KA controls the supply sensors.
In direct current, the contactor KA controls the supply pre-actuators and the
supply sensors.
NOTE: Before restarting the installation following a stop (caused by a power outage or an
emergency stop), safety standards require authorization to be given by the operator.

Module Power Consumption
At a Glance
The power necessary for a rack depends on the type of modules installed on it. It is, therefore,
necessary to calculate the power consumption in order to define the power supply module to be
installed on the rack.
This section presents the average power consumption by module. This is the average of the
maximum consumption and the typical consumption. Using this table, is it possible to calculate the
power consumption per rack and, therefore, the power supply module needed on the rack.

Grounding the BMX XBP xxxx Rack and the BMX CPS xxxx Power Supply
Module
General
Grounding a Modicon M340 PLC configuration involves the racks and the power supply modules.
Grounding the Rack

Protective grounding of the racks must be performed by connecting a ground cable between the
protective earth of the installation and the screw located on the left-hand side of the rack, close to
the power supply module. This screw is used to connect two cables (1.5 to 2.5 mm2 or in AWG
size, 16 to 13). Every rack in the PLC station must be grounded.
Grounding the Power Supply Module

Just like the rack, the Protective Earth (PE) terminal located on the power supply module must be
connected to the protective earth of the installation in one of the following two ways:
z Using a separate cable, independent of the rack ground cable, and directly connected to the
protective earth of the installation.
z Using a cable connecting the ground screw of the rack to the Protective Earth (PE) terminal of
the module from the power supply (where the rack is already grounded).
DANGER
Power supply module must be grounded. Do not connect anything else to the power supply
ground.

Line Terminators
The BMX XBE 1000 modules of the two racks situated at the start and at the end of the chain must
always be fitted with TSX TLY EX line terminators on the unused 9-pin SUB-D connectors.
Line terminators are labeled A/ or /B. A PLC station that uses extension modules must use one
line terminator labeled A/ and one labeled /B.
For example, if the extension module in the first rack of the chain contains a terminator labeled A/,
then the extension module in the last rack must contain a terminator labeled /B

Rack extender Module Configuration
At a Glance
The rack extender modules are configured using microswitches on the side of the modules. The
configuration of the module must be done before mounting the module on the rack.
PLC station rack addressing depends on the number of racks used:
z PLC station built with a single rack,
z PLC station built with extension racks.
Station built with a single rack

If the PLC station is built with a single rack, the rack address is implicit and has a value of 0.
If a rack extender module is installed in this rack, line terminators must be connected to the local
bus connectors, and the microswitches on the side of the module must be configured for rack 0
(refer to the table of rack addresses in the next paragraph).
Station built with extension racks

For a PLC station built with extension racks, an address must be assigned for each station rack.
This address is coded using 3 microswitches on the side of the module.
Microswitches 1 to 3 are used to code the rack address on the local bus (address 0 to 3).
35012676 04/2015 197

3 OFF ON OFF ON
4 Not applicable
NOTE: On delivery, all the microswitches are delivered in the OFF position (address 0).
198 35012676 04/2015

Assigning addresses to different racks

Address 0: this address is always assigned to the rack which supports the BMX P34 xxxxx
processor.
This rack can be located in any position in the chain.
If two or more racks are configured with address 0, only the rack supporting the processor will
function correctly.
Addresses 1 to 3: can be assigned in any order to all the other extension racks in the station.
If two or more racks are configured with the same rack address (other than 0), the behavior
depends on the position of the modules in those racks:
z If each module position is only used once, the modules will function correctly.
z If modules are mounted in the same position on two or more racks, those racks will not function,
the access to them will be blocked.
