Schneider Electric BMEP582020

The Modicon BMEP582020 CPU module is manufactured by Schneider Electric for use with the Modicon M580 system.  The BMEP582020 standalone unit has 2048 discrete I/O channels, 512 analog I/O channels, 72 expert channels, 128 distributed devices with 4 + 4 memory size for In + Out. It supports two Ethernet communication modules and works with 4 local racks. This module does not support RIO drops. It has one service Ethernet port and two distributed equipment Ethernet ports. These products are manufactured in France and are designed for Material handling, packaging, and textile machines usage. They come with a 2-year warranty from MRO Electric. We also carry Processors from other manufacturers such as Modicon and ABB.

Features

Within the control system, the BMEP582020 standalone CPU controls and processes the application. The rack that has the CPU can have other modules such as a power supply module, a communication processing module, or I/O modules and this rack is identified by the local rack. The job of the CPU is to configure, process, read, and manage. The Modicon CPU configures all of the modules and devices within the PAC configuration.  It processes the application.  When a task begins, the CPU module takes the input and reads it, and applies it to the outputs at the end of the task. It manages communication, both explicit and implicit.  

Advantages

The BMEP582020 standalone CPU module comes with 9048 KB of internal memory. With this Modicon module, the max saved data available is 768 KB and the max program data available is 8162 KB. It has 32,634 % Mi max and 512 % Mi default internal bits. The Modicon BMEP582020 receives server requests from Modbus TCP, EtherNet / IP, and UMAS that it has to scan.  This module can handle 16 requests per scan, 32 FIFO size requests, and 4 USB requests.

The maximum number of requests sent to an IP address of the CPU is 12.  The maximum number of requests sent to an IP address of a communication module is 16. If more requests are coming in that the CPU can handle, the requests are queued up.  The queued requests are in the first-in/first-out buffer (FIFO).

How to use a BMEP582020

There are several operating states for the M580 standalone Modicon BMEP582020. When the CPU is executing its internal self-test it is in an AUTOTEST state. If an application program is not valid, it is in the NOCONF state.   When stopped while working a valid application, it is in a STOP state. This module can set itself to predefined STOP state parameters and can start when you are ready. This module will turn to the HALT state if the application it is running has stopped operating because of an unexpected block. After it is in a HALT state it will either have a recoverable or a nonrecoverable condition to work through. When the CPU module is simply executing an application program it is in a RUN state. If there is a power-down condition detected by the CPU, it will go into a transitory state called WAIT while it backs up data. The CPU can start again as soon as two things happen. The power must be restored, and the power reserve must be replenished. To exit WAIT, the CPU does a warm restart. The final two operating statuses are ERROR and OS DOWNLOAD.
