Positioning Safety I/O Modules

You can install an M580 safety I/O module on:

  • the local rack in any slot that is not reserved for the power supply or CPU.

  • a remote rack in any slot that is not reserved for the power supply or remote adapter.

NOTE: A safety I/O module can be installed on either a BMXXBP•••• X Bus rack or a BMEXBP•••• Ethernet rack. For a description of available M580 racks refer to the topic Local and Remote Racks in the Modicon M580 Hardware Reference Manual.

Safety I/O Module Front Panel

The front panel of each safety I/O module presents the following features:

1 Lock / Unlock configuration button

2 LED panel

3 20-pin connector

4 Keying pin slots

Safety I/O Module Dimensions

Each safety I/O module presents the following physical dimensions:

NOTE: Consider the height of the safety I/O modules when you are planning the installation of a rack. Each safety I/O module 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

Safety I/O Wiring Dimensions

Each safety I/O module presents the following wiring dimensions:

LEDs

Each safety I/O module provides module and channel LED diagnostics on the front face of the module:

  • The top four LEDs (Run, Err, I/O, and Lck) together describe the state of the module.

  • The bottom rows of LEDs combine with the top four LEDs to describe the state and health of each input or output channel.

NOTE: For information on how to use the module LEDs to diagnose the condition of M580 safety modules, refer to the Diagnostics chapter of the M580 Safety Manual.
