High-Speed Precision Analog Input with Modicon X80 BMXAMI0800
The Modicon X80 BMXAMI0800 is an advanced non-isolated analog input module engineered for high-speed data acquisition in automation systems. With 8 high-level input channels, it's a perfect solution for applications requiring fast, accurate analog signal processing.
This module is designed for the Modicon X80 platform and features a compact 28-way single connector for streamlined electrical integration. It supports both voltage and current input modes, adapting to various sensor types and signal sources in industrial environments.
Each analog input delivers a resolution of 15 bits plus sign, while internal analog-to-digital conversion is handled at 16-bit precision. This ensures reliable signal interpretation, even for subtle voltage or current variations during rapid process changes.
With a fast read cycle of just 1 ms per channel, plus 1 ms overhead, the BMXAMI0800 can refresh data from all 8 channels in just 9 ms. This makes it ideal for high-speed monitoring applications like machine control and real-time diagnostics.
Input impedance is rated at 10 MΩ in voltage mode and 250 Ω in current mode, helping maintain signal integrity across different types of analog signals. A first-order digital filter provides smooth signal conversion without sacrificing responsiveness.
The module includes precision internal resistors with a conversion tolerance of 0.1% and thermal drift of just 15 ppm/°C. This results in stable and reliable readings, even under fluctuating temperature conditions.
Designed to operate at altitudes up to 2000 meters without performance loss—and up to 5000 meters with a derating factor—the BMXAMI0800 is suitable for varied industrial landscapes, including high-elevation facilities.
For diagnostics and status monitoring, the module features multiple LEDs: a green RUN indicator, one green diagnostic LED per channel, and red LEDs for ERR and I/O fault alerts. These visual signals enhance user awareness and simplify troubleshooting.
Built with reliability in mind, the module has an MTBF rating of 1,700,000 hours, indicating long-term dependable performance with minimal maintenance requirements. This adds great value for mission-critical installations.
Its lightweight design, at just 0.165 kg, contributes to easier handling and system integration. Despite its small size, the module is built to endure tough industrial conditions without compromising performance.
Power consumption is impressively low, with typical usage at just 0.90 W from a 24V DC source and 0.32 W from 3.3V DC. Even at peak, the unit draws only 1.10 W and 0.48 W respectively, keeping energy demands minimal.
Current consumption stays within tight limits at 150 mA on the 3.3V line and just 41 mA on the 24V line. This helps maintain overall control cabinet efficiency and supports eco-conscious system design.
The module holds up well against environmental stress. It can operate in temperatures from 0 to 60°C and be stored safely in conditions as extreme as -40 to 85°C. It also handles humidity up to 95% at 55°C without condensation.
It resists mechanical stress, with vibration resistance rated at 3g and shock resistance up to 30g. This makes the BMXAMI0800 suitable for use in rugged manufacturing and processing environments.
Rated at IP20, this module is intended for installation in enclosed panels, where it remains protected while efficiently carrying out its signal acquisition role. Its open-style form factor supports flexible mounting and setup.
This product is fully compliant with major industry regulations and safety standards. It carries certifications including CE, UL, CSA, RCM, EAC, and Merchant Navy, ensuring broad compatibility and acceptance globally.
It meets directive requirements for low voltage (2014/35/EU) and electromagnetic compatibility (2014/30/EU), making it both safe and interference-resistant. It also complies with EN/IEC and UL standards for industrial control systems.
Whether you're working in machine automation, process control, or factory monitoring, the BMXAMI0800 stands out for speed and accuracy. It helps engineers collect vital analog input data efficiently and consistently.
As part of the Modicon X80 system, this module supports scalable architecture, making it easy to upgrade or expand existing installations without extensive reconfiguration.
Thanks to its diagnostic LEDs and high-resolution input design, operators can gain real-time visibility into system performance and take immediate action in case of signal faults or disruptions.
With support for both voltage and current signals, the BMXAMI0800 accommodates a wide variety of field instruments—from temperature sensors and pressure transducers to flow meters and more.
The first-order digital filtering ensures that only clean, reliable signal data is delivered to the PLC, helping reduce noise and eliminate erratic readings caused by electrical interference.
Because it does not include channel-to-channel isolation, this module is more compact and economical, ideal for systems where isolation is not required between input points.
System integrators appreciate its high-speed sampling capability, which is critical in applications where input conditions change rapidly and real-time feedback is necessary for control decisions.
The BMXAMI0800 balances cost, performance, and flexibility, making it a go-to analog input module for OEMs, panel builders, and automation professionals looking for dependable signal input handling.
By simplifying installation and reducing energy usage, it contributes to efficient cabinet layouts and helps optimize control panel space and thermal management.
In summary, the Modicon X80 BMXAMI0800 is a high-speed, non-isolated analog input module that delivers top-tier performance for analog signal acquisition. Compact, efficient, and reliable—it’s an asset to any modern automation system.
