Modicon M580 automation platform Modicon M580 processors

Presentation

Presentation Modicon M580 BMEP58 modular processors form the core of a complete control solution based on Modicon M580 specific and compatible modules and racks. These standalone processors physically occupy 2 module slots (0 and 1) on a backplane. Modicon M580 BMEH58 redundant processors form the core of High-availability architectures (Hot Standby system) for more demanding applications, to provide overall higher availability (1) . The processors can manage the Modicon X80 I/O platform in a single-rack 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 serial link, AS-Interface actuator/sensor buses, and RTU (temote terminal unit) serial link b Expert modules The Modicon M580 processor range offers the choice of 6 memory levels: b 4 MB for BMEP581020 processor b 8 MB for BMEP5820 pp and BMEH582040 processors b 12 MB for BMEP5830 pp processors b 16 MB for BMEP5840 pp and BMEH584040 processors b 24 MB for BMEP585040 processor b 64 MB for BMEP586040 and BMEH586040 processors An optional 4 GB SD memory card BMXRMS004GPF is used with Modicon M580 processors for application and data storage. Each processor has a USB terminal port for connecting to a programming terminal. A temporary connection to an HMI is possible via the USB port (2) . In addition, depending on the model, these processors offer the following (non cumulative) maximums on their local racks: b Up to 6,144 discrete I/O b Up to 1,536 analog I/O b Up to 216 application-specific channels (3) (process counter, motion control, and serial link or RTU) b 1 Ethernet service port b 2 Ethernet device network ports v DIO ports (distributed equipment) for all processors v RIO ports (remote equipment) for BMEP58 pp 40/BMEH58 pp 40 processors b 4 extended master AS-Interface V3 actuator/sensor buses, profile M4.0 Applications can be downloaded to the Modicon M580 processor when EcoStruxure Control Expert (4) is connected either via a local communication module, or directly to the processor through USB or Ethernet, or to the Ethernet ports of BMECRA31210 Ethernet drop adapters and Modicon DRS (dual ring switch) switches. (1) The application in a standalone processor can be migrated into a redundant processor as easy as one click in EcoStruxure Control Expert. (2) Please refer to the HMI catalogs on our website. (3) By using remote drops, these limits can be extended to the maximum configuration managed by one Modicon M580 station. (4) Unity Pro software in earlier versions.
