The M580 PAC is compatible with dual Ethernet and X-bus backplanes.
One Ethernet switch is embedded in the backplane with connectivity to some slots on the backplane (not all slots have Ethernet connectivity).
X-bus functionality is preserved and conforms to the legacy implementation and specification. The X-bus will be used in a subset of modules on the Ethernet backplane.
Ethernet and X-bus backplanes
The M580 backplanes provide power supply for all modules in the rack
Available with 4, 8 or 12 slots
Schneider Electric Modicon M580
The Modicon M580 ePAC (Programmable Automation Controllers) feature openness, flexibility, robustness and sustainability. The M580 are designed with an Ethernet backbone to optimize connectivity and communications. They support X80 common I/O modules which can be easily integrated into its architecture. The powerful processors offer high levels of computation for complex networked communication, display and control applications.
