Product Overview
The Schneider BMXCPS2000 is a reliable power supply module belonging to the Modicon X80 platform. It converts 100...240 V AC input into three regulated DC outputs: 3.3 V (8.3 W) for I/O module logic, 24 V (16.8 W) for I/O modules and processor, and an additional 24 V (10.8 W) for sensor supply. With a total output power of 20 W and multiple protection circuits, the BMXCPS2000 ensures stable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The Schneider BMXCPS2000 offers precise electrical performance. Below are key parameters:

These specifications make the Schneider BMXCPS2000 a robust choice for systems requiring separate power rails with galvanic isolation.
Industry Applications
The Schneider BMXCPS2000 is ideal for factory automation, process control, and machinery where a Modicon X80 backplane is used (excluding BMEXBP..02 backplanes). Its triple-output design simplifies wiring by providing dedicated power for sensors, I/O modules, and processor logic. For example, in a packaging line, the 24 V sensor supply powers proximity sensors while the 3.3 V logic rail runs the local I/O modules — all from a single BMXCPS2000.
In a water treatment plant, the Schneider BMXCPS2000 can feed a remote rack with up to 16.8 W for 24 V I/O modules, ensuring clean power with overvoltage and short-circuit protection. This reduces downtime and simplifies troubleshooting.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the Schneider BMXCPS2000 onto a compatible Modicon X80 rack (DO NOT use with BMEXBP..02 backplanes). Connect the AC line supply (100...240 V, 50/60 Hz) to the 5‑pin connector, ensuring a protective earth connection. The 2‑pin alarm relay connector can be wired to a remote monitoring system. After power-up, verify the green LEDs for rack voltage and sensor voltage. The RESET push-button performs a cold restart of the module. Observe IP20 protection – install in a clean, dry cabinet.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine inspection includes checking LED status and verifying output voltages. The Schneider BMXCPS2000 operates from 0 to 60 °C and withstands storage from -40 to 85 °C. Its shock resistance (30 gn) and vibration resistance (3 gn) suit harsh industrial settings. The internal fuse is not user-accessible; if the primary fuse blows, return the module for service. Regular cleaning of the enclosure (IP20) ensures adequate cooling. The module’s built-in overload and short-circuit protection minimize risk of downstream damage, contributing to long service life.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing a Schneider BMXCPS2000, verify your backplane type (incompatible with BMEXBP..02) and total power demand of your I/O modules. The BMXCPS2000 delivers up to 20 W combined; ensure your system load stays within limits. For added reliability, consider a redundant configuration with two power supply modules.
