BMXXBP0800 – 8-Slot X80 Rack Backplane
The BMXXBP0800 is an 8-slot rack backplane for the Modicon X80 platform. It carries the X-bus. It hosts I/O modules and communicates with M340 or M580 CPUs. This backplane gives a rigid mechanical base. It also distributes power and data across all slots. The unit is active and shared across both controller families.
Hardware and Compatibility
- 8 slots for X80 I/O modules.
- X-bus rack backplane architecture.
- Works with Modicon M340 and M580 CPUs.
- No external power supply needed for the rack itself.
- Power and data flow through the backplane.
- Module hot-swap supported per X80 rules.
Environmental and Physical Data
- Operating temperature: 0 °C to +60 °C.
- Storage temperature: −25 °C to +70 °C.
- Relative humidity: 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
- Protection rating: IP20.
- Dimensions (H×W×D): 100 × (width varies by slots) × 93 mm.
- Weight: 0.46 kg.
Suitable Equipment
- Modicon M340 PLC systems.
- Modicon M580 PAC systems.
- X80 digital and analog I/O modules.
- X80 temperature and motion modules.
- Small to medium control cabinets.
- Retrofit projects for obsolete racks.
Oiltech Controls’s Insight
Engineers pick the BMXXBP0800 when they need a compact 8-slot base. It fits standard X80 modules. The backplane uses a passive design. That means fewer failure points. In the field, most issues come from bent pins or loose modules. Always check slot alignment before power-up. This rack is a drop-in part for M340 and M580 upgrades.

FAQ
Q: How do I know if this rack fits my M580 CPU?
A: Check the CPU model. All M580 CPUs that use the X80 platform accept this 8-slot rack. Match the rack part number to your existing backplane. If you are unsure, send us the CPU and rack photos. We verify before you buy.
Q: Can I mix old and new X80 modules on the BMXXBP0800?
A: Yes, as long as the modules follow the X80 standard. But check firmware and power budget. Some high-power modules may need a larger rack. Always count total backplane current. Our team can help with the calculation.
Q: What usually fails on an 8-slot X80 rack?
A: Most failures come from mechanical damage. Bent backplane pins, cracked plastic guides, or corrosion on the connector. Electrical faults are rare. The X-bus is passive. If a slot stops working, swap the module first. If the fault stays, the rack may need replacement.
Q: Do you test the rack before shipping?
A: Yes. We inspect pins, slots, and mounting holes. We also check for bent or missing parts. Every unit gets a visual and mechanical test. For surplus units, we verify slot continuity. You get a tested part, not just a pulled one.
Q: How should I choose between 4, 8, and 12-slot racks?
A: Count your I/O modules first. Leave 1–2 spare slots for future growth. The 8-slot rack fits small and mid-size panels. If you need more than 8 modules, go to a 12-slot rack. But check cabinet depth and DIN rail length. The BMXXBP0800 is the most common choice for balanced systems.
