It sits in a local rack, powered internally via the backplane, drawing 270 mA at 24 VDC. This unit is a CPU Level 20 variant, meaning it handles both DIO scanner and RIO scanner services natively, so you can run distributed I/O without extra Ethernet comm modules. Memory architecture is tiered: 4 GB of expandable flash for data storage, 8 MB RAM for the program process, 768 kB for data process, plus separate safety-dedicated memory (2 MB program, 512 kB data). With 30 Kinst/ms for a mixed Boolean/arithmetic mix and 40 Kinst/ms for 100% Boolean, this CPU fits mid-size process applications — say a few hundred I/O points with HART or SSI encoder channels. ## Compliance and Lifecycle Status Standards coverage includes IEC 61010-2-201, UL 61010-2-201, CSA C22.2 No 61010-2-201, IACS, and EMC immunity per EN/IEC 61000-6-5 (interface types 1 & 2) and EN/IEC 61850-3 for substation environments. The module also carries Achilles cybersecurity certification, IPsec, SNMP logging, and an embedded firewall — relevant for utilities needing NERC CIP alignment. For documentation traceability, the unit comes with a CE declaration covering the Low Voltage (2014/35/EU) and EMC (2014/30/EU) directives. TAA/BAA compliance via COTS means it's eligible for US federal projects without special waivers. ## Integration and Mounting Notes Form factor: IP20 processor module that mounts in a standard Modicon M580 rack. It supports up to 4 racks in the local backplane, with capacity for 72 application-specific channels in the local rack and up to 8 remote I/O stations (2 remote drops, 64 distributed devices). Each remote drop can extend via two Ethernet comm modules or 16 AS-Interface modules. Environmental envelope: operate 0–60 °C, store –40 to 85 °C, 5–95% RH non-condensing at 55 °C. Vibration resistance 3 gn, shock 15 gn. Altitude derating starts above 2000 m — usable up to 5000 m with reduced cooling. Rated for hazardous locations Class I Division 2 and salt mist / corrosion resistance. Communication ports: one Ethernet TCP/IP service port, two Ethernet TCP/IP device network ports, one USB Type Mini-B. Status LEDs cover RUN, ERR, I/O fault, download, memory card fault, Ethernet port status, safety mode (SRUN), maintenance mode (SMOD), and forced I/O override.","metaTitle":"Schneider BMEP582040 M580 CPU, Process Control, 4 GB","metaDescription":"Active Modicon M580 CPU module for process control. 4 GB data storage, 8 MB program memory.
