Engineering Advantages
- High Channel Density: 32 inputs in a single 15 mm slot minimizes rack footprint and wiring complexity.
- Optical Isolation: Full galvanic isolation protects the CPU backplane from field-side transients and ground loops.
- Configurable Input Filtering: Software-selectable filter times (1/3/12 ms) allow optimization for both fast-response and noise-immune applications.
- HE10 Connector System: Industry-standard 40-pin MIL connectors support pre-wired cable assemblies, reducing installation time by up to 60%.
- Hot-Swap Ready: Supports module replacement under power (with appropriate M340 rack configuration), minimizing unplanned downtime.
- IEC 61131-2 Compliant: Guaranteed interoperability with IEC-standard field devices and sensors.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Field-side 24VDC signals enter via dual HE10 connectors (Group A: CH0–CH15, Group B: CH16–CH31). Each channel passes through an RC input filter (configurable), then through an optical isolator to the backplane logic. The module communicates channel states to the M340 CPU via the X-Bus backplane at each scan cycle. Diagnostic LEDs (RUN, ERR, I/O status) provide real-time field-level visibility without requiring software connection. The module draws power exclusively from the 5VDC backplane bus — no external 24VDC module power supply is required.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is BMXDDI3202K compatible with Modicon M340 racks BMX XBP 0400 / 0800 / 1200?
A: Yes. The module is compatible with all standard Modicon M340 backplane racks (4, 8, and 12 slot configurations).
Q: Can I use BMXDDI3202K with 120VAC field signals?
A: No. This module is rated for 24VDC inputs only. For 120VAC inputs, refer to the BMXDAI1604 or BMXDAI1602 series.
Q: Does this module support event-driven (interrupt) inputs?
A: The BMXDDI3202K supports standard cyclic scanning. For high-speed event inputs, consider the BMXDDI1602T with fast input capability.
Q: What cable assembly is recommended for the HE10 connector?
A: Schneider Electric BMXFCA500 (5m) or BMXFCA150 (1.5m) pre-wired cable assemblies are recommended for direct field wiring.
Q: Is the module available with firmware pre-loaded?
A: The BMXDDI3202K is firmware-independent; all configuration is managed via EcoStruxure Control Expert (Unity Pro) on the CPU.
