Each PLC station is equipped with a BMX P34 ••••• processor.
There are five processors in the Modicon M340 range that have a CANopen port:
-
The BMX P34 2010/20102, which also has a USB port and serial port,
-
The BMX P34 2030/20302/20302H, which also has a USB port and Ethernet port.
BMX P34 ••••• processors have a simple design, and include a memory card slot.
The following figures present the front sides of the BMX P34 2010 and BMX P34 2030:

These processors are bus masters; they cannot function as slaves. They are linked by SUB-D 9 connector points and allow the connection of slave devices which support the CANopen protocol.
NOTE: There is only one BMX P34 ••••• master by bus.
