Modicon M580 automation platform Architectures Remote I/O architecture

Presentation, description (continued)

Presentation The remote I/O architecture consists of remote I/O and remote functions (including fieldbus masters). This type of architecture is fully compatible with the references in the Modicon M580 automation platform and Modicon X80 module platform offers. A maximum of 8, 16, or 31 RIO drops 1 made of Modicon X80 I/O modules can be supported in a remote I/O architecture system, depending on the CPU level. It is possible to include DIO devices in a remote I/O architecture via the SERVICE port of the CPU or the BMECRA31210 drop adapter 1 , via a BMENOS0300 network b Energy supervision 3 and HMI 4 b Tesys T motor protection, etc. Rack Viewer function The Rack Viewer function provides access to Ethernet RIO data via a Web browser. Predefined configurations for Modicon managed switches The use of Modicon managed switches specifically for Modicon M580 architectures is simplified using 15 predefined configuration files. Standard remote I/O architecture This is composed of a daisy chain loop consisting of a Modicon M580 main rack and several Modicon X80 I/O drops containing an Ethernet drop adapter: b BMECRA31210 Modicon X80 Remote I/O performance adapter, with SERVICE port b BMXCRA31210 Modicon X80 Remote I/O drop adapter, with SERVICE port b BMXCRA31200 Modicon X80 Remote I/O drop adapter, without SERVICE port Long distance remote I/O architecture Similar to the standard remote I/O architecture, this variant comprises one or more remotely located Modicon X80 I/O drops connected via integrated NRP fiber converter modules. There are two types of NRP fiber converter modules: b BMXNRP0200 : multimode fiber converter module (remote location up to 2 km/ 1.25 mi ) b BMXNRP0201 : single-mode fiber converter module (remote location up to 16 km/ 9.94 mi ) The NRP repeaters are linked to CRA drop adapters by means of Ethernet Interlink cables. High availability and expanded integration capacity The remote I/O architecture can use the embedded switching module or the external switches to expand the integration capacity. The BMENOS0300 Ethernet switch module can be installed on a local or remote BMEXBP pppp Ethernet main rack in the Modicon M580 platform. The external Modicon DRSs 7 (1) can be loaded with 15 predefined configurations to simplify their implementation. The use of these switches provides enhanced capacity for integrating the following devices: b RIO sub-rings b Fiber optic media for long distance remote location, etc. b DIO integration in remote I/O architectures The advantages of this architecture are: b Reduced wiring costs b Deterministic data exchanges between the PLC and the EIO devices b Secondary rings can be linked to the main ring by two DRSs, which improve availability Maximum distance between each Modicon managed switch: b 100 m/ 328 ft with copper (twisted pair) medium b 2 km/ 1.25 mi with multimode optical fiber medium b 16 km/ 9.94 mi with single-mode optical fiber medium (1) Supported Modicon switches: MCSESM083F23F1 , MCSESM103F2CU1 , and MCSESM103F2CS1 . option switch, or via a Modicon switch 5 .
