Schneider Electric NW-BM85-000 Modicon Mbus+ Bridge/multiplexer NWBM85000

Description:

The Schneider Electric NW-BM85-000 Modicon Modbus Plus Bridge/Multiplexer is used in industrial automation systems to enable communication between Modbus Plus networks and other Modbus Plus or Modbus devices. This module acts as a network bridge and multiplexer, allowing multiple PLC systems and automation devices to exchange data across different network segments. It is commonly installed in control panels and distributed automation systems where reliable network communication between Modicon PLC platforms and remote devices is required. Maintenance teams and system integrators frequently use this module for network expansion, communication integration, and replacement of legacy Modbus Plus networking equipment in existing automation systems.

Applications:

The Schneider Electric NW-BM85-000 communication bridge is widely used in industrial environments including manufacturing production lines, process automation plants, water and wastewater facilities, energy systems, and large industrial control networks where Modbus Plus communication must be extended or integrated between PLC controllers and distributed automation devices.
