FAQ

Q: Which modules require the 28-pin BMXFTB2800?
A: Modules equipped with a 28-pin removable terminal block interface, typically high-density discrete I/O modules.

Q: What wire gauge range is supported?
A: The terminal block supports 1 conductor per position from 0.34 mm² to 1 mm².

Q: Is there a spring clamp version available?
A: Yes. The BMXFTB2820 provides a 28-pin spring clamp alternative.

Installation Guide

1. Ensure the rack is powered down before removing or installing terminal blocks
2. Prepare wires by stripping insulation to the cage clamp specification
3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to actuate each cage clamp opening
4. Insert the wire fully and release the screwdriver to secure
5. Repeat for all 28 positions as required by the wiring diagram
6. Verify seating by gently pulling each wire to confirm retention

Selection Tips

• Choose BMXFTB2800 for 28-pin cage clamp applications on X80 modules
• For spring clamp versions, select BMXFTB2820
• Verify your specific I/O module requires a 28-pin terminal block
• Consider ordering multiple units for high-channel-count installations
• Match wire gauge to the 0.34..1 mm² specification to ensure proper clamping
