Introduction

An M580 safety project can include both safety modules and non-safety modules. You can use:

• Safety modules in the SAFE task.

• Non-safety modules only for the non-safe tasks (MAST, FAST, AUX0, and AUX1).

  NOTE: Only non-safety modules that do not interfere with the safety function can be added to a safety project.

Use only the Control Expert programming software of Schneider Electric for programming, commissioning, and operating your M580 safety application.

• Control Expert L Safety provides all the functionality of Control Expert L and can be used with BMEP582040S and BMEH582040S safety CPUs.

• Control Expert XL Safety provides all the functionality of Control Expert XL and can be used for the entire range of BMEP58•040S and BMEH58•040S safety CPUs.

This chapter lists the safety and non-safety modules supported by the M580 safety system.
