The Schneider Electric BMXART0414 is a 4-channel analog input module designed for the Modicon M340 automation platform. Engineered to handle low-level voltage and current signals, it is ideal for high-precision measurement tasks in critical industrial environments. Each channel is galvanically isolated, providing exceptional signal integrity and protection against ground loops or electrical noise.

With compatibility for low-voltage inputs such as 0–25 mV, 0–100 mV, 0–5 V, and low-level current signals like 0–20 mA, the BMXART0414 is suitable for instrumentation sensors and transducers that demand accurate low signal acquisition. The module integrates seamlessly with Schneider’s EcoStruxure Control Expert (formerly Unity Pro) for configuration, diagnostics, and control.
