Uses cases
● Powerful connection to SCADA / control layer
● Extend I/O scanner capability of the CPU
● Generic & FactoryCast version for extended web monitoring – through your Smartphone
Technical details
• Ethernet IP & Modbus TCP Ethernet module connected to Ethernet backplane
• Can be set in a different network than the CPU (connection is performed through BusX in this case)
• 128 I/O devices
• 16 local slaves (3 on M580 CPU)
• Up to 4 NOC in M580 configuration (local rack)
• Advanced cyber-security features (Achilles L2, encrypted firmware, port control, Access Control)
• Improved data presentation given by DDDT
• Support PRM, HART modules…
• Full Ethernet bandwidth including on the service port
• Available also in conformal coated versions
Customer values, benefits and key features
• High performance given by SPEAr600 dual-core processor
• Flexibility to connect to legacy and new devices as modules support EtherNet/IP and MB/TCP protocols
• High network availability given by supporting RSTP
• Avoid interlink cables thus reduces the installation cost thanks to the Ethernet backplane
• Improved data presentation given by DDDT
• High capacity & ePAC to ePAC communication – up to 16 local slaves supported (where the CPU only supports 3)
• Improved protection against Cyber Security risks. Advanced Cyber security features (such as Firmware signing, Firmware encryption, Access control by IP address, Achilles Level 2.)
• Full Ethernet bandwidth available on each port including service port.
