Product details

Overview of the BMEP582040

The BMEP582040 is a Schneider Electric Modicon M580 processor module — a PAC CPU specifically tagged for process control loops. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What process control checks does this CPU support?

The BMEP582040 is listed under the 'Process control' check category. It is designed for programmable loop control and supports application-specific I/O including HART, SSI encoders, motion control, and accurate time stamping.

How is the BMEP582040 powered?

It receives internal power directly from the rack backplane, drawing 270 mA at 24 V DC. No external power supply module is required for the CPU itself.

What compliance/certification documentation does it carry?

It is CE marked per the Low Voltage (2014/35/EU) and EMC (2014/30/EU) directives. Listed standards include IEC 61131-2, IEC/UL/CSA 61010-2-201, IACS, EN/IEC 61000-6-5, and EN/IEC 61850-3. It also holds Achilles cybersecurity certification and is TAA/BAA compliant.
