BMXEHC0800 - Counting module - SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

The Modicon X80 module platform is common to all Modicon M340, Modicon Quantum Ethernet I/O, Modicon M580 automation platforms, as well as future Modicon Mx80 controllers. Thanks to this common platform, the inventory of spare parts is much lower and maintenance and training costs are significantly reduced. A common configuration tool is used for all PAC modules using EcoStruxure Control Expert with a high level of services, such as forcing simulation and DDT structured device addresses. This platform offers a wide choice of Schneider Electric input/output modules (digital, analog, expert and communication).

Good practice in control system design dictates that process control functions remain operationally separated from safety functions. This is usually done by using a controller for the process and a separate system for safety.

• Dual processing capability to independently control safety and process functions

• Bringing together independent plant safety and process control to protect the entire operating environment

• Reduction of the impact of typical failures on the safety of installations, people and property.

• No need to design, install or maintain separate security systems

• Tools, wiring methods and input/output structures identical to those of the Modicon M580 controller.

By simply adding a dedicated processor, the Modicon X80 module platform serves as a common foundation for automation platforms.

She can also:

• be part of a Quantum and Modicon M580 Ethernet I/O architecture as an Ethernet RIO station (EIO) with a CRA station head,

• create a Modbus/TCP DIO Ethernet station with a PRA module.

The Modicon X80 platform is available in single-rack or multi-rack configuration.

This platform also makes it possible to accommodate modules dedicated to automation platforms (communication, application, etc.).

A Modicon X80 station can support two racks separated by a cumulative distance of up to 30 m/98 ft.

This platform, common to several automation platforms, makes it possible to reduce the maintenance and training costs it generates thanks to:

• a single range of spare parts in stock,

• common training for several automatons.

Based on recent I/O technology, the Modicon X80 platform offers:

• high quality robustness and compactness,

• compliance with international certifications (ATEX, IEC, etc.),

• a wide choice of modules: digital or analog inputs/outputs, expert modules, communication modules, etc.

The programming and configuration of this platform is carried out via the EcoStruxure Control Expert software.

Bit forcing simulation simplifies simulation and data structuring simplifies diagnostics.
