BMENOC0301 is a generic Ethernet communication module, and the BMENOC0311 is a comparable Ethernet communication module with additional FactoryCast capabilities.

Ethernet communication module with standard Web services

NOTE: In an M580 local rack, you can install a maximum of three BMENOC0301/BMENOC0311 modules, depending upon the CPU you choose. When the Ethernet backplane connection is enabled, the module can manage distributed equipment on the device network. When the Ethernet backplane connection is disabled, the module can support distributed equipment on an isolated network only.

These two modules are designed to be installed on an Ethernet backplane (connector on rear right side).

For information about the BMENOC0301/BMENOC0311 modules, refer to the Modicon M580 BMENOC03•1Ethernet Communication Module Installation and Configuration Guide. For information about the BMENOC0321 module, refer to the Modicon M580 BMENOC0321 Control Network Module Installation and Configuration Guide.

BMENOC0321

Ethernet communication module that functions as a control network module to provide transparency between an M580 device network and the control network.

NOTE: In an M580 local rack, you can install only one BMENOC0321 module.

BMECRA31210

eX80performance EIO adapter module

The BMECRA31210 module can be installed on an Ethernet backplane (connector on rear right side) to support eX80 I/O modules that require Ethernet across the backplane.

NOTE: The keying pin on the rear side of the module does not allow you to install this module on unsupported backplanes.
NOTE: Only one BM•CRA312•0 module can be installed on an eX80 RIO drop.
NOTE: This adapter module has a service port (3) and a time stamping feature. This module supports an extended remote rack.
NOTE: This adapter module supports expert modules and CCOTF.

For information about BM•CRA312•0 modules, refer to the Modicon M580 Remote I/O Modules Installation and Configuration Guide.
