Modicon M580 automation
platform
Various architectures
The Modicon M580 ePAC offers different embedded networks to meet various architecture needs:
b Standard Ethernet DIO ports on BMEP58pp20 processors for architectures A, B and C
b Dual Ethernet RIO ports on BMEP58pp40 processors for architecture D
Architecture A: Composed of hard-wired I/O; mainly compact
topology
Architecture B: Composed of devices distributed over
eldbuses; mainly compact topology
Architecture C: Composed of devices distributed over
Ethernet; ideal for mainly distributed topologies
Architecture D: Uses Ethernet racks. Composed of remote
devices and features remote functions, such as eldbus master
