The standalone and redundant BME ● 58 ● 040S Safety processors are an extension of the standard processors. They have the same characteristics and performances as their corresponding and respective non-safety related processors, but they allow further integration of specific Safety related functions for Process, Machine, and Railway that make Safety processors using safety I/O modules compliant with: b up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) for Industrial Process safety regarding IEC61508/IEC61511 b up to Category 4, Performance Level «e» (Cat.4/PLe) for Machine safety regarding ISO13849 b up to SILCL3 for Machine safety regarding IEC62061 b up to SIL4 for Railway safety regarding EN50126/EN50128/EN50129. Based on Common Safety, they are able to manage Safety I/O modules for Safety functions described in the Safety logic, together with non-interfering Modicon X80 I/O modules for non-safety related functions. Safety processors can communicate over Ethernet with safety protocols. The main differentiating features between standalone and redundant Safety processors are: b Safety standalone processors embed the CIP Safety communication protocol to allow openness to third-party safety devices. b Redundant BMEH58 ● 040S Safety processors are dedicated to high availability architectures for safety and critical processes. Processor performance The Modicon M580 standalone processor supports up to 8 local racks (depending on the CPU performance level), using existing Modicon X80 modules and accessories. The Modicon M580 processor must be installed in the main rack, which can be a dual (Ethernet and X-bus) bus rack. Modicon M580 PLCs can support up to 7 expansion racks of 4, 6, 8, or 12 slots for single power supply and 6 or 10 slots for dual power supply. These standalone and redundant processors physically occupy two module slots on a backplane. The processors can manage Modicon X80 modules in a single- or multi-rack Ethernet PAC station. Their slots can be equipped with: b Discrete I/O modules b Analog I/O modules b Counter modules b Communication modules: Ethernet Modbus/TCP network, EtherNet/IP network, Modbus SL b AS-Interface actuator/sensor buses and RTU (remote terminal unit) serial link b Expert modules The 9 standalone processors and the 3 redundant processors (Hot Standby system) have different memory capacities, processing speeds, number of I/O, number of supported local racks, and embedded Ethernet port functions (see page 2/10). The Modicon M580 processor range offers the choice of 6 memory levels from 4 MB to 64 MB (see page 2/ 9 for more information). It also offers the choice of two types of Ethernet device network port: b For BMEP58 ●● 20 processors: distributed I/O ports (DIO) to connect distributed equipment b For BMEP58 ●● 40 and BMEH58 ●● 40 processors: distributed I/O ports (DIO) to connect distributed equipment and remote I/O ports (RIO) to connect remote equipment This range also offers different performance levels: BMEP5840 ●● processors are twice as fast as BMEP5830 ●● processors, which are themselves twice as fast as BMEP5810 ●● and BMEP5820 ●● processors. With the new processor models, BMEP585040/BMEP586040 processors have 20% higher calculating speed than BMEP5840 ●● processors. An optional 4 GB SD memory card BMXRMS004GPF is used with Modicon M580 processors for application and data storage.
