Applications & benefits

• Use as the base rack for Modicon X80 distributed I/O systems in process, machine and infrastructure automation.
• Enables hot‑swap I/O replacement to minimize downtime and simplify field maintenance.
• Multiple mounting options (panel, mounting plate, DIN‑rail) make the backplane suitable for control panels, skids and modular assemblies.
• Common platform compatibility supports phased modernization from legacy Modicon systems with reduced training and spare parts complexity.

Installation notes

• Install using recommended screws or DIN‑rail clips per mechanical mounting option selected.
• Ensure correct insertion order and seating of processor, I/O and expansion modules; observe manufacturer guidance for power supply installation (power supply module is not included in the backplane slots).
• Observe ambient temperature and humidity limits and install in IP20‑rated enclosures.
• Use provided XBE connector for expansion connections per Schneider Electric wiring diagrams.
