This communication module is part of the Modicon M580 range, an offer of Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). This module acts as an interface between the M580 PLC and other Ethernet network devices via the Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP communication protocols. This module provides large IO Scan data sizes and high-performance data exchange efficiency. It also has the best cybersecurity features and can extend to more modules in the rack. The Modicon M580 automation platform complies with "TC" treatment requirements (treatment for all climates) and can operate in temperatures ranging from 0°C to +60°C/32°F to 140°F. It comes with 3x RJ45 Ethernet ports and 1Gbps speed for device network ports. It offers communication services such as bandwidth management, FDR server, Modbus TCP I/O scanner and messaging, EtherNet/IP I/O scanner and messaging, embedded 4-port switch, RSTP support, SNMP network administrator and embedded multiport switch services etc. Its dimensions are 32mm (width) 131mm (height) 86mm (depth) and weighs 0.393Kg. It complies with ODVA-certified EtherNet/IP protocol. This module meets the needs of applications in Transportation, Water and Waste Water, Consumer Packaged Goods, Mining Minerals Metals, Power generation, Energy and Chemicals, and Data centers. This product complies with CE, UL, RCM, EAC, and UKCA standards and is certified for Power Generation, Merchant Navy, Railway and Hazardous areas applications. This connection sub-base is compatible with the entire range of M580 CPUs (standalone and HSBY) and must be installed on a BMEXBPxxx - Ethernet + X-bus rack. The module is delivered in 1 packing unit. It can be installed in any X80 Ethernet backplane dual-port slot in the head rack of a Modicon M580 ePAC system. This product can be used in combination with Modicon X80 (I/O, backplane, cable) and works with the EcoStruxure Control Expert programming software. Modicon M580 improves reliability and sustainability, as well as productivity with high performance and increases operating profitability due to efficient access to data.
