Schneider AS-BDAP-208 – 8-Point Relay Output Module | Modicon 984 Series
Engineering Background: The AS-BDAP-208 is a discrete relay output module engineered for the Schneider Electric Modicon 984 programmable controller platform — one of the most widely deployed PLC architectures in process automation, utilities, and heavy manufacturing. Designed to interface directly with the Modicon 984 I/O bus, this module delivers robust, electrically isolated relay switching for field devices operating across a broad voltage range.
Product Positioning: Targeted at maintenance engineers, system integrators, and MRO procurement teams managing legacy Modicon 984 installations, the AS-BDAP-208 provides a direct OEM-equivalent replacement with no firmware or rack reconfiguration required. Konmask.com maintains verified stock sourced through authorized industrial distribution channels, ensuring full traceability and authenticity.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The AS-BDAP-208 connects to the Modicon 984 CPU via the proprietary I/O bus on the backplane. The CPU writes output coil states to the module’s internal register map. Each of the 8 relay output points is driven by an internal relay coil; when energized, the normally-open contact closes, completing the field-side circuit. Field wiring connects to the module’s terminal block, which is isolated from the backplane logic circuitry. Status LEDs on the module faceplate provide real-time visual indication of each output state, enabling rapid field diagnostics without a programming terminal.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the AS-BDAP-208 compatible with Modicon 984-385 and 984-685 CPUs?
A: Yes. The AS-BDAP-208 is designed for the Modicon 984 I/O bus and is compatible across the 984 CPU family. Verify slot addressing with your system configuration documentation.
Q: Can relay outputs switch inductive loads such as motor starters or solenoids?
A: Yes, with appropriate derating. For inductive loads, apply a suppression device (RC snubber or MOV) across the load to protect relay contacts and extend service life.
Q: What is the maximum number of AS-BDAP-208 modules per rack?
A: Determined by the Modicon 984 rack size and power budget. Consult the Modicon 984 Hardware Reference Guide (890 USE 101 00) for slot and power allocation rules.
Q: Are replacement modules available with factory firmware?
A: The AS-BDAP-208 is a hardware I/O module with no user-programmable firmware. Configuration is managed entirely through the Modicon 984 CPU and programming software (Modsoft / Concept).
Q: What is the lead time for AS-BDAP-208?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days internationally. Contact us for current availability.
