The BMEP584040 is a Modicon M580 processor module for remote racks, rated for Process control and drawing 295 mA from the rack backplane, with MTBF 775000 hours, shock 30 gn, vibration 3 gn. It supports 8 racks and 144 channels, with integrated Ethernet for RIO and DIO scanners.
Compliance and cybersecurity posture
Compliance package covers IEC 61131-2, IEC 61010-2-201, UL 61010-2-201, CSA C22.2 No 61010-2-201, and IACS. The module carries CE marking per low-voltage and EMC directives. For substation or power-grid integration, it meets EN/IEC 61850-3 at location G and includes cybersecurity features: Achilles certification, IPSec, SNMP logging, audit trail, and an embedded firewall. Hazardous location Class I Division 2 is covered as well.
Operates from 0 to 60 °C ambient, stores from -40 to 85 °C. Relative humidity range 5-95 % at 55 °C without condensation. Altitude derating above 2000 m. Rated IP20, so install inside a clean enclosure with no direct exposure to dust or moisture. Shock and vibration limits (30 gn / 3 gn) mean it can ride out moderate mechanical stress in panel-mounted applications.
