Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can BMENOC0311 directly replace BMENOC0301?
A: Yes, in most cases. The BMENOC0311 is the functional successor with added cybersecurity features. Verify firmware compatibility with your Control Expert version before swapping.
Q: Is BMENOC0301 compatible with Modicon M340?
A: No. The M340 platform requires the BMXNOE series modules. BMENOC0301 is exclusively designed for the M580 backplane.
Q: Can I use a third-party Ethernet gateway instead?
A: Third-party gateways (Modbus TCP bridges) can replicate basic communication functions but will not support native EtherNet/IP I/O scanning or EcoStruxure integration. Suitable only for non-critical data acquisition applications.
Q: What is the lead time for BMENOC0301?
A: Stock availability varies. Contact Konmask.com for real-time inventory status. Expedited sourcing from global distribution networks typically achieves 3–10 business day delivery.
Q: Does Konmask supply original Schneider Electric units?
A: Yes. Konmask.com supplies genuine OEM units with full traceability. Certificates of conformity and test reports are available upon request.
