The BMED581020 is the processor module for an M580 PAC rack, drawing its power from the rack backplane at 295 mA on 24 V DC. It is a current-production part with product status Active, so it remains a qualified line item on serial-build BOMs without lifecycle risk.
Memory, MTBF, and environmental envelope
The module carries 64 MB of integrated RAM for program and data. MTBF is rated at 600,000 hours, and the operating ambient temperature span is 0 to 60 °C with 5 to 95 % non-condensing humidity. Shock resistance is 30 gn, vibration 3 gn. The IP20 enclosure suits protected panel mounting. The module is also listed for hazardous locations Class I Division 2, broadening its deployment beyond ordinary control rooms.
The BMED581020 carries CE marking and complies with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. It meets IEC 61131-2, IEC 61010-2-201, and UL 61010-2-201. For hazardous locations it holds a Class I Division 2 environmental characteristic. These certifications are documented per the manufacturer’s declaration of conformity; RoHS and REACH compliance is standard for current Schneider Electric/Telemecanique product releases.
Networking and rack configuration
Integrated connections include one Ethernet TCP/IP service port and two Ethernet TCP/IP device network ports. The module supports up to four racks and 64 distributed devices, with status LEDs for RUN, ERR, I/O fault, download, forced I/O, and Ethernet MS/NS.
