It is used for to obtain and exchange the below type of data with the M580 CPU:
1. Configuration data for the X80 modules
2. Application and diagnostic data
The BMEXBP backplane Ethernet connector is used for:
1. eX80 I/O modules, which require an Ethernet bus on the rack in order to exchange data (for example, X80 HART modules)
2. Communications to third-party modules that require Ethernet
3. Ethernet communication modules that interlink to the M580 CPU
