Introduction

The following I/O modules can be mounted in local racks or RIO drops in an M580 system.

Unless otherwise noted in the following tables, X80 I/O modules are supported on the following racks in RIO drops:

  • an X Bus rack with a BMXCRA312•0 X80 EIO adapter module

  • an Ethernet rack with a BMECRA312•0 eX80 EIO adapter module

Some of these modules also contain embedded web pages that can be used for configuration and diagnostics. Web page descriptions are provided in the appropriate product documentation and in Control Expert help.

NOTE: Conformally coated (hardened H) versions of many of these modules are also available. Refer to the specifications for hardened equipment in the Modicon M580, M340, and X80 I/O Platforms, Standards and Certifications guide.

Modicon X80 Analog Modules

Modules that require Ethernet across the backplane can be installed only in main local or remote local racks. They cannot be installed in extended racks.

NOTE: Debug screens are not available for analog modules in RIO drops and the parameters can’t be changed (Alignment, Filter, Offset...). If you need to modify the parameters, use the analog modules in local or local extended racks.

These analog I/O modules are supported in Modicon X80 local racks containing a CPU and RIO drops:

(1) The FAST task is not supported.

(2) These modules require an Ethernet backplane.

(3) Not supported in an M580 Hot Standby system.

(4) When installed in an RIO drop, use a BM•CRA31210 (e)X80 performance EIO adapter module. These modules are not compatible with BM•CRA31200 (e)X80 standard EIO adapter modules.

+ Allowed

- Not allowed
NOTE: A maximum of 2 analog modules are allowed on an RIO drop that contains a BMXCRA31200.2 X80 EIO adapter module. These analog modules can have a maximum of 8 channels (16 for analog I/O modules).

When the following modules are used in a local rack (containing a CPU) and RIO drops, they require these versions:

NOTE: Schneider Electric recommends that you upgrade the modules with the latest available software version. (It is not necessary to update a BMXART0414 module, V2.1 or later, because it works correctly with a BM•CRA312•0 X80 EIO adapter module).

Modicon X80 Discrete Modules

NOTE: In the CPU configuration screen in Control Expert, you can configure a digital I/O module channel as a RUN/ STOP input by selecting this check box. This can be performed on a local I/O channel in topological I/O data type only. (This configuration is not available in Hot Standby systems).

These discrete I/O modules are supported in Modicon X80 local racks containing a CPU and RIO drops:

Communication Modules

NOTE: The maximum number of communication modules you can install on the local rack depends upon the CPU you choose.

These communication modules are supported in M580 local racks (containing a CPU with Ethernet I/O communication server service) and RIO drops that contain a BM•CRA312•0 X80 EIO adapter module:
