The Schneider Electric BMXDAI1604 is a 16-channel discrete AC input module from the Modicon X80 platform, compatible with Modicon M340 and M580 PACs. It accepts 100-120V AC input signals at 5mA per channel with capacitive isolated inputs and 13kΩ input impedance. Features include 1500V AC dielectric strength, per-channel LED status indicators, and 20-way removable terminal block connection. With 3.8W max power dissipation and MTBF of ~1.5 million hours, it provides direct 120V AC field device interface without interposing relays. Applications include motor starter auxiliary contact monitoring, limit switch detection, AC proximity sensor interfacing, and any industrial control system requiring reliable AC discrete input acquisition via Modicon X80 backplane.
**Q: Can the BMXDAI1604 be used with Modicon M580?**
A: Yes, the Modicon X80 platform modules are compatible with both M340 and M580 PACs via the X80 backplane.
**Q: Does this module require external fusing?**
A: Yes, Schneider recommends 1 external fast-blow fuse (0.5A) per group of channels for protection.
