This communication module is part of the Modicon M580 series, a range of programmable automation controllers (PAC) and safety-oriented programmable controllers (PLC) with integrated Ethernet. The BMENOC0321C module serves as an interface between the M580 PLC and other Ethernet network devices via the Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP communication protocols. Thanks to a protective coating on the circuit board, this product can be used in harsh environments with a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C. This product can help hybrid manufacturers achieve a better, measurable, and earlier ROI, amortizing their project investments by up to 100% in less than three months. The BMENOP300C module features 3 Ethernet ports. Communication services include bandwidth management, FDR server, Modbus TCP I/O scanner and messages, EtherNet/IP I/O scanner and messages. Additionally, it has an integrated 4-port switch, RSTP support, SNMP network management, integrated multiport switch, etc. It measures 32x100x86 mm and weighs 0.2 kg. This module meets the requirements for applications in transportation, water and wastewater, packaged consumer goods, mining, minerals, metals, power generation, energy, and chemicals, as well as data centers. This product complies with CE, UL, CSA, RCM, EAC, UKCA, and ATEX/IECEx standards for Zone 2/22 and is certified for applications in power generation, the merchant marine, railways, and hazardous areas. This connection assembly is compatible with the entire range of M580 CPUs and must be installed on a BMEXBPxxx - Ethernet + X-Bus module carrier. The communication module occupies one slot in the rack. This product can be used in conjunction with Modicon X80 (I/O, module carrier, cables) and works with the EcoStruxure Control Expert programming software.
