The BMXXSP•••• shielding connection kit allows to connect the cable shielding directly to the ground and not to the module shielding to help protect the system from electromagnetic perturbations.
Connect the shielding on the cordsets for connecting:
Each shielding connection kit includes the following components:
-
A metal bar
-
Two sub-bases
The reference is dependent on the number of slots on the Modicon X80 rack:

Use clamping rings to connect the shielding on cordsets to the metal bar of the kit.
NOTE: The clamping rings are not included in the shielding connection kit.
Depending on the cable diameter, the clamping rings are available under the following references:
Installation of the shielding connection kit to the rack can be done with module already installed on the rack except for the BMXXBE0100 rack extender module.
Fasten the sub-bases of the kit at each end of the rack to provide a connection between the cable and the ground screw of the rack:

Tightening torques to install the shielding connection kit:
NOTE: A shielding connection kit does not modify the volume required when installing and uninstalling modules.
The following figure gives the dimensions (height and depth) of a Modicon X80 rack with its shielding connection kit:
NOTE: The overall width equals to the width of the Modicon X80 rack.
