FAQ

Q: How do I decode the Schneider FCC cord set suffix?
A: The suffix indicates cable length: BMXFCC203 = 2 meters; BMXFCC303 = 3 meters; BMXFCC503 = 5 meters; BMXFCC1003 = 10 meters. All share the same 40-way FCN to 2x HE10 configuration.

Q: What modules are compatible with BMXFCC303?
A: The cord set is compatible with Modicon X80 I/O modules equipped with a 40-pin FCN connector, including discrete and analog I/O modules.

Q: Is this cable shielded?
A: Yes. The cord set features shielded construction for EMI protection in industrial environments.

Installation Guide

1. Verify module power is off before connecting cables
2. Attach the 40-pin FCN connector to the module front connector
3. Route the cable through the control panel cable ducts
4. Connect the two HE10 connectors to the field terminal blocks or Telefast sub-bases
5. Secure the cable with clamps to prevent strain on connectors
6. Verify all connections are fully seated before energizing

Selection Tips

• Select BMXFCC303 for 3-meter cable runs between X80 modules and field terminals
• For 2-meter runs, choose BMXFCC203
• For 5-meter runs, choose BMXFCC503
• For 10-meter runs, choose BMXFCC1003
• Verify the I/O module has a 40-pin FCN connector before ordering
