Schneider BMXFTB4000 Terminal Block for Modicon X80 Systems

Product Overview

When you need a reliable wiring solution for your Modicon automation system, the Schneider BMXFTB4000 delivers. This removable terminal block provides 40 cage clamp terminals in a compact gray housing. It is part of the Modicon X80 product range and serves as a connection block for modules with 40-pin removable terminal blocks.

Technical Specifications

The BMXFTB4000 terminal block operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and can be stored from -25°C to 70°C. It handles relative humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing. Vibration resistance ranges from 5–9 Hz at 0.75 mm amplitude to 9–150 Hz at 1 g acceleration. Shock resistance is rated at 15 g for 11 ms. The housing meets UL94 V-0 flammability standards and carries CE, UL, and cUL certifications. Protection rating is IP20. The terminal block height is 53 mm, and net weight is 0.19 kg.

Industry Applications

In manufacturing environments, the BMXFTB4000 provides secure wiring for control panels and automation cabinets. Its IP20 protection suits typical control rooms where dust ingress is minimal. The wide operating temperature range allows use in facilities without climate control. For system integrators, this terminal block simplifies field wiring to Modicon X80 I/O modules, reducing installation time and connection errors.

Installation Guidance

Mount the BMXFTB4000 by aligning it with the 40-pin connector on the compatible Modicon module. The removable design allows pre-wiring the terminal block before attaching it to the module, which speeds up panel assembly. Use cage clamp termination for secure, vibration-resistant connections. Ensure the ambient temperature stays within 0°C to 60°C during operation. No special tools are required beyond a standard screwdriver for the cage clamps.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regularly inspect the BMXFTB4000 for signs of corrosion or loose connections. The cage clamp terminals maintain consistent contact pressure over time, reducing the need for retorquing. The UL94 V-0 rated housing provides flame resistance for added safety. Periodic cleaning with a dry cloth keeps the terminal block free of dust. Following these simple steps extends service life and minimizes downtime.

Compatibility and Integration

The BMXFTB4000 is designed specifically for Modicon X80 systems. It works as a removable connection block for any module that uses a 40-pin removable terminal block interface. This includes analog and digital I/O modules within the Modicon X80 range. Verify module compatibility by checking the module documentation for 40-pin terminal block requirements.
