This communication module is part of the Modicon M580 range, a range of programmable automation controllers (PACs) and safety-related programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with integrated Ethernet. The BMENOC0301C module serves as an interface between the M580 PLC and other Ethernet network devices using the Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP communication protocols. Thanks to a conformal coating on the printed circuit board, this product can be used in harsh environments with a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C/-13°F to 140°F. This product can help hybrid manufacturers achieve a better, measurable and earlier ROI and recover their project investment by up to 100% in less than three months. The BMENOP300C module has 3 Ethernet ports. Communication services are bandwidth management, FDR server, Modbus TCP I/O scanner and reporting, EtherNet/IP I/O scanner and reporting. Also built-in 4-port switch, RSTP support, SNMP network administrator, built-in multiport switch, etc. It measures 32x100x86mm and weighs 0.2kg. This module meets the requirements of applications in transportation, water and wastewater, consumer packaged goods, mining, minerals, metals, power generation, energy and chemical, and data center. This product meets CE, UL, CSA, RCM, EAC, UKCA and ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 standards and is certified for power generation, merchant marine, railway and hazardous area applications. This connection module is compatible with the entire range of M580 CPUs and must be installed on a BMEXBPxxx - Ethernet + X-Bus rack. The communication module occupies one slot in the rack. This product can be used in combination with Modicon X80 (I/O, rack, cables) and works with the EcoStruxure Control Expert programming software.
