Installation Guide

1. Mount the module in an X80 rack slot.
2. Connect the dedicated 16-pin connectors for each counter channel and the auxiliary connector.
3. Wire sensors and encoders according to the chosen mode (up/down, differential, etc.).
4. Configure counting functions and thresholds in EcoStruxure Control Expert.
5. Verify operation via status indicators and test pulses.

Selection Tips

• Select BMXEHC0200 for applications requiring high-speed pulse counting or encoder feedback up to 60 kHz.
• Use when period, frequency or ratio measurement is needed.
• For lower frequency and higher channel count, evaluate BMXEHC0800.
• Ensure proper shielding and grounding for high-frequency signals.
