Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: Is the BMXDDM16022 compatible with other Schneider Electric PLC platforms besides M340?
A: No, it is specifically designed for the Modicon M340 platform and connects via the X80 backplane. -
Q: Can the inputs and outputs be used simultaneously on the module?
A: Yes, all 8 inputs and 8 outputs can be used at the same time without performance degradation. -
Q: What is the maximum current supported by each output channel?
A: Each output can handle up to 0.5 A, with a total maximum of 4 A for the entire module. -
Q: Are the outputs protected against short circuits?
A: Yes, the outputs are equipped with electronic short-circuit protection. -
Q: What is the wiring type for the module – sink or source?
A: The inputs use sink (positive logic), and the outputs are source type. -
Q: Does this module support hot swapping?
A: No, the BMXDDM16022 does not support hot swapping. Power must be off during module insertion/removal. -
Q: What programming software is used with the BMXDDM16022?
