Position on the Local Rack

Every M580 standalone system requires one CPU module. The CPU is installed in the two-module slot position directly to the right of the power supply in the main local rack. The CPU cannot be put in any other slot location or any other rack. If there are extended racks in the local rack configuration, assign address 00 to the rack with the CPU.

NOTE: Refer to the list of M580 standalone CPU modules.

Dimensions

This graphic shows the front and side dimensions of the M580 standalone CPUs:

NOTE: Consider the height of the CPU when you are planning the installation of the local rack. The CPU extends below the lower edge of the rack by:

  • 29.49 mm (1.161 in.) for an Ethernet rack

  • 30.9 mm (1.217 in.) for an X Bus rack

Front and Rear Views

M580 standalone CPUs have similar front panels. Depending on the standalone CPU you choose, these differences apply:

  • BMEP58•020: The embedded Ethernet I/O scanner service supports DIO only.

  • BMEP58•040: The embedded Ethernet I/O scanner service supports both RIO and DIO.

Physical features:

1 LED diagnostic display panel for CPU status and diagnostics

2 Mini-B USB port for module configuration via PC running Control Expert

3 RJ45 Ethernet service port connector

4 RJ45 connectors that together serve as a dual port to the Ethernet network

5 SD memory card slot (behind door)

6 SD memory card lockable door

7 Cybersecurity rotary selector switch

Cybersecurity Rotary Selector Switch

Use the rotary switch on the back of each M580 CPU to configure a cybersecurity operating mode for the module:

Switch positions are:

  • Standard: the module supports basic cybersecurity features.

  • Advanced: the module supports advanced cybersecurity features.

  • Reset: the module returns to its out-of-the box cybersecurity setting.

The out-of-the-box switch position is Standard.

NOTE: The operating mode rotary selector switch will be made operational for future product releases. For this product release, operating mode is automatically set to Standard, regardless of the switch position.
