Introduction to BMX P34 xxxx Processors
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).

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.
64 35012676 04/2015
Introduction to BMX P34 xxxx Processors
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.

General Characteristics of the BMX P34 •••• 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.
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.

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

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).

BMX P34 •••• Processors Diagnostics
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
BMX P34 •••• Processors Diagnostics
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.

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.
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.

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.
35012676 04/2015 99
BMX P34 •••• Processors Diagnostics
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.

Processor Performance
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:
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:
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:
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:
Multi-Task Execution
The following diagram shows the level of priority of the tasks in a multi-task structure:
General
The MAST task cycle time is the sum of the following:
z internal processing time on input,
z master task program processing time,
z internal processing time on output.
Illustration
The following diagram defines the MAST task cycle time:
General
The internal processing time for inputs and outputs is the sum of the following:
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
The table below shows the input (IN) and output (OUT) management times for each module.
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.
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.
Definition
The FAST task cycle time is the sum of the following:
z program processing time
z internal processing time on input and output
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.

Introduction to BMX CPS xxxx Power Supply Modules
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.
WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Sensors connected to this rack must be powered from this rack or from an external power supply.
Using power from a different rack will cause unintended equipment operation and incorrect
activation of outputs, and may damage the power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

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.
General
The BMX CPS •••• power supply modules of each rack must be wired with two removable terminal
blocks which allow the following elements to be connected:
z main voltage
z alarm relay
z Protective Earth (see page 186)
z 24 VDC sensor power supply for the BMX CPS 2000/3500/3540T power supply modules.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
If you are using the connectors from the BMXXTSCPS10 or BMXXTSCPS20 connector
accessory kit, you must make sure that they are keyed as shown above. Refer also to the
instructions in the kit.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Illustration
The following illustration shows the two power supply terminal blocks.
WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Take care to connect cables properly. Terminal block pinout is different on AC and DC power
supplies.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
The user must provide a power supply protection and cutoff device upstream to the power supply
module.
When choosing the protection devices, the user should take into account the signaling currents
defined in the characteristics table of the power supply module.
NOTE: As the BMX CPS 2010/3020 direct current power supply module has a strong signaling
current, it is recommended not to use them on direct current networks which have a fold back
current limiting protection.
If the power supply module is connected to a direct current network, the length of the power supply
cable must be limited in order to avoid transmission losses.
For the BMX CPS 2010 power supply module the maximum length of the power supply cable is:
2
z 30 m (60 m there and back) with copper wire 2.5mm in width,
2
z 20 m (40 m there and back) with copper wire 1.5mm in width.
For the BMX CPS 3020 power supply module the maximum length of the power supply cable is:
2
z 15 m (30 m there and back) with copper wires 2.5mm in width,
2
z 10 m (20 m there and back) with copper wires 1.5mm in width.

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.
