Modicon X80 performance EIO adapter
Presentation
An M580 Ethernet RIO (EIO) architecture with Modicon X80 I/O drops requires the
use of a dedicated adapter in each Modicon X80 drop.
The BMECRA31210 adapter supports Ethernet and X-bus communications across
the remote backplane.
This EIO adapter module supports several expert modules such as counting and
weighing modules and CCOTF (Change Conguration On The Fly).
For Modicon X80 RIO drops on an Ethernet backplane, time stamping can be
managed with a resolution of 10 ms when using a BMECRA31210 performance
EIO adapter.
Only one BMECRA31210 module can be installed per Modicon X80 RIO drop.
This module can also support a BMXXBPpp00 expansion rack.
The BMECRA31210 adapter is designed to be installed on an Ethernet backplane
in the main remote rack. The adapter supports the Modicon X80 I/O and partner
modules with both Ethernet and X-bus connections (1).
The keying pin on the rear side of the module means the BMECRA31210 adapter
cannot be installed on unsupported backplanes.
These adapters are connected by Ethernet cordsets tted with RJ45 connectors.
The dual Ethernet connection port on each adapter allows Daisy Chain Loop
connections using the RSTP protocol (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).
The BMECRA31210 adapter is also available in a conformal coating version for
harsh environments.
It also complies with several standards and certications such as C-Tick, GOST,
merchant navy, CSA C22.2 No. 142 and 213 and IEC/EN 61131-2.

Description
1 LED display block indicating the module status
2 Rotary switches for setting the address of an EIO drop (00…159)
3 Dedicated RJ45 service port (ETH 1) for remote service tools such as a PC, an
HMI terminal module or Ethernet DIO devices
4 RJ45 device network port (ETH 2) for connection to the Ethernet network
5 RJ45 device network port (ETH 3) for connection to the Ethernet network
(1) This module is also compatible with X-bus backplanes. In this case it has the same
functionality as a BMXCRA31210 performance Ethernet drop adapter.
