SE Modicon M580 Brochure

Modicon M580 automation platform

Overview

Modicon M580 ePACs (Ethernet programmable automation controllers) offer efficiency, resiliency, enhanced cybersecurity, and safety for automated operations. They are designed with an Ethernet backbone to optimize connectivity and data transparency. They support Modicon X80 I/O modules common with Modicon M340, which can be easily integrated into their architecture. The powerful processors offer high levels of computation for complex networked communication, data concentration, and control applications.

Reliable operations No single point of failure > Operations continue in most critical situations > If an error is detected, automatic switch-over from the primary to the backup controller High-availability > Modicon M580 high-availability system is based on redundancy of Modicon M580 processors > Highly scalable architecture for increased overall system availability: > Redundant processors (Hot Standby) > Redundant power supplies > Duplicated communication networks (module redundancy) and link redundancy > Redundant switches > Ring topology with 50ms recovery time > PLC availability enhanced by Ethernet link providing a redundant path > Automatic take over of alternative equipment in case of a shortcoming happening on one control equipment > High-availability system is used where no interruption of the process can be tolerated > Critical infrastructures, utilities and continuous process plants are typical applications
