It supports up to 1024 I/O points across 4 racks, runs on internal power via the rack, and is rated for 30 gn shock, making it suitable for rugged industrial environments. The CPU includes integrated cybersecurity features such as an embedded firewall, Achilles certification, and secure communication (HTTPS), and carries CE, UL, CSA, RCM, and EAC certifications. ## Memory and I/O comparison vs TSXP57353LAMC The BMEP581020 supports up to 1024 I/O points, matching the TSXP57353LAMC's discrete I/O capacity. ## Interface and connectivity vs BMENOP0300C The BMEP581020 provides USB, Ethernet, and AS-Interface ports, while the BMENOP0300C offers three 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports with additional protocols like IEC 61850 MMS and GOOSE, Modbus TCP, and RSTP. For applications requiring substation automation or redundant Ethernet, the BMENOP0300C is the better fit; the BMEP581020 suits standard plant-floor networks with AS-Interface integration. The BMEP581020 is an active Modicon M580 CPU; no obsolescence notice is published. It is available through current distribution channels with typical lead times confirmed via RFQ. Compliance documentation includes CE, UL 61010-2-201, CSA C22.2 No 61010-2-201, IEC 61131-2, and California Proposition 65. The unit is TAA/BAA compliant via COTS.","metaTitle":"Schneider BMEP581020 Modicon M580 PLC, 4 MB program, 1024 I/O","metaDescription":"Schneider BMEP581020 Modicon M580 PLC: 4 MB program memory, 384 kB data, expandable 4 GB flash, 1024 I/O points, 30 gn shock, IP20, DIN rail, CE/UL certified.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":[],"specifications":{"Checks":"Process control","Supply":"Internal power supply via rack","Marking":"CE","Category":"US1PC3418161","Standards":"IEC 61131-2 IEC 61010-2-201 UL 61010-2-201 CSA C22.2 No 61010-2-201 IACS E10 EN/IEC 61000-6-5, interface type 1 and type 2 EN/IEC 61850-3, location G","Directives":"2014/35/EU - low voltage directive 2014/30/EU - electromagnetic compatibility","Status LED":"1 LED (Green) processor running (RUN) 1 LED (Red) processor or system fault (ERR) 1 LED (Red) I/O module fault (I/O) 1 LED (Green) download in progress (DL) 1 LED (Red) memory card or CPU flash fault (BACKUP) 1 LED (green/red) ETH MS (Ethernet port configuration status) 1 LED (green/red) Eth NS (Ethernet network status)","Cybersecurity":"Achilles certified DoS prevention IPSec SNMP logging Syslog protocol support Transport layer security Audit trail Embedded firewall Firmware signature Password protection Port hardening Secure communication (HTTPS) Security log","Number of racks":"4","lifecycle_stage":"current","Control channels":"Programmable loops","MTBF reliability":"775000 H","Range of Product":"Modicon M580","Shock resistance":"30 gn","Relative humidity":"5...95 % 131 °F (55 °C) without condensation","Memory description":"Integrated RAM, 4 MB program Integrated RAM, 384 kB data Expandable flash, 4 GB data storage Integrated RAM, 10 kB system memory","Operating altitude":"0...6561.68 ft (0...2000 m) 2000...5000 m with derating factor","Current consumption":"270 mA 24 V DC","Vibration resistance":"3 gn","Application structure":"1 periodic fast task 2 auxiliary tasks 1 cyclic/periodic master task 64 event tasks","Communication Service":"DIO scanner","Compliance/Compliance":"TAA BAA via COTS","Nbr. of units in pkg.":"1","IP Degree of Protection":"IP20","Application specific I/O":"Accurate time stamping Motion control Counter HART SSI encoder Serial link","Product or Component Type":"Processor module","Integrated connection type":"1 Ethernet TCP/IP service port 2 Ethernet TCP/IP device network USB type mini B","Environmental characteristic":"Hazardous location class I division 2","Number of instructions per ms":"30 Kinst/ms 65 % Boolean + 35 % fixed arithmetic 40 Kinst/ms 100 % Boolean","Number of distributed equipment":"64","Ambient Air Temperature for Storage":"-40...185 °F (-40...85 °C)","Ambient Air Temperature for Operation":"32...140 °F (0...60 °C)","Communication module processor capacity":"2 Ethernet communication module 2 AS-Interface module","Number of application specific channel (local rack)":"36"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1,480.00 – $2,340.70","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/7da5595ecc2404ba364063b784221e9f.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/BMEP581020/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/BMEP581020","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/BMEP581020 when reusing this data.
