Product details

Overview

The BMEP581020 is a Modicon M580 programmable logic controller from Schneider, built for process control applications with 4 MB of program memory and 384 kB of data memory, expandable via flash to 4 GB for data storage. 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.
