Logic Controller - Modicon M580-EPAC
Product Description
General information on Modicon M580
The Modicon M580 ePAC is the first high-end integrated controller built for EcoStruxure™ Plant in an open, flexible, reliable, sustainable, safe, and secure architecture. It features redundant controllers and safety controllers (safety PLC SIL3) with native Ethernet, and cybersecurity embedded in its core.
Process or safety processors both use the same Modicon X80 I/O modules platform and EcoStruxure Control Expert (formerly known as Unity Pro) software for programming and configuration.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Facts about M580-EPAC:
Reduced time to market:
- Openness and transparency: native Ethernet capabilities with EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, as well as the large scope of Fieldbus supported protocols: AS-i, CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, and Remote Terminal Unit protocols like DNP3 or IEC104.
- Connectivity: easy integration of field and third-party devices through standard FDT technology.
- Smart engineering: EcoStruxure Control Expert software platform allows to save engineering and commissioning time through simulation tool, predefined libraries, and code checking.
- Improve your code through EcoStruxure Control Expert including verification, converter (including non-SE PLC), documentation, and monitoring.
- Easy and continuous operations thanks to CCOTF (Change Configuration On the Fly) functions, and online devices.
Process Efficiency:
- High availability scalable and fault-tolerant architecture: redundant HSBY processor, power supplies, networks, and Scada (later redundant RIO bus based on redundant CRA)
- Reliability and robustness based on proven X80 I/O platform
- Optimized maintenance with auto-diagnostics embedded in X80 modules, FDR functions, preventive maintenance features inside redundant power supplies, and Maintenance Advisor tool.
Process Safety:
- SIL3 rating approved by TÜV Rheinland: dual execution code in safety processor and coprocessor, and X80 safety I/O and power supplies.
- Common safety: the mix of safety modules with standard non-interfering modules reduces the cost of spare parts, training, and communication between safety and process PLC.
- Capability to connect CIP safety devices on Ethernet with M580 safety controllers.
Enhanced Cybersecurity:
- Protection against remote programming via passwords
- Option to enable HTTP/FTP services
- Log of security events
- Extended Ethernet service management in the access control list
- More secure IPsec communication between ECE or Scada and PAC
- OPC UA module or software with native cybersecurity and RTU secure protocols.
Smooth modernization:
- Capitalize on your code through software converter tools from legacy software (PL7/Concept) embedded into EcoStruxure Control Expert or additional tools (UMAC, EcoStruxure Control Engineering).
- Capitalize on your cabling through hardware kits and connect your existing I/O to M580 or Quantum S908 RIO bus managed by M580.
- Capitalize on your legacy protocols: Modicon M580 supports protocols used in legacy Modicon and Télémécanique platforms like Modicon S908 coaxial bus, Modbus Plus, Ethway, Global Data, or Interbus-S.
- Dedicated service teams to support in modernization.
