M580 I/O

The M580 system uses Modicon X80 I/O modules, many of which are used in
an M340 system.

The system also supports several Ethernet-based eX80 I/O modules, which
can be installed on both the main local rack and Ethernet remote racks.

The local rack can also support an Extension rack of Premium I/O modules.

CPU Support for Remote I/O

Out of the nine standalone M580 CPUs, five support RIO (Remote I/O):
• BME P58 2040
• BME P58 3040
• BME P58 4040
• BME P58 5040
• BME P58 6040
These CPUs have the Remote I/O Scanner Service embedded within them
allow deterministic I/O exchanges, and are able to communicate with
Modicon X80 RIO drops on an Ethernet network.

CPU Support for Remote I/O

The 2 x DEVICE NETWORK ports support a wired star or ring architecture

(daisy chain loop). The daisy chain loop starts on one Ethernet RIO port
and terminates in the other Ethernet port.

Services provided by the CPU on the RIO ports:

• RSTP to enable all remote I/O devices located on the ring to recover
from a communication disruption within 50 ms.
• Configuration of IP parameters on up to 23 remote I/O modules per
drop.
‒ The maximum amount of drops is dependant on the CPU being
used.
• Device and drops diagnostics

Remote Drop Adapter

The embedded RIO Scanner Service is used to communicate with Remote

I/O adaptor modules which are located in the Modicon X80 remote drop.

To support the new Ethernet backplane and to allow Ethernet based I/O
modules to be located in the Remote I/O drops, there is a new Remote I/O
drop adaptor module, the BME CRA 312 10.

The BME CRA 312 10 is also known as the eX80 Performance EIO
adapter within an M580 Remote I/O architecture.

Devices other than the CRA modules can utilise the RIO Scanner.

Remote Drop Adapter

The existing X80 drop adaptors BMX CRA 312 00 & BMX CRA 312 10
are also supported.

All CRA modules share similar physical characteristics, each have

LED Displays, Rotary Switches and 2 x Device Network ports.

On a Modicon X80 I/O drop, the CRA must be installed in Slot 0.

Communication

The M580 RIO system is based on EtherNet/IP technology.

• The input data from the Ethernet remote I/O drop is collected and published for the Remote
Scanner.
• The output modules are updated with the data received from the Remote I/O Scanner.
• The Remote I/O Scanner views the BME CRA 312 10, BMX CRA 312 00 & BMX CRA 312 10
modules as remote I/O adapters, here the exchanges are deterministic, which means that the
time it takes to resolve a Remote I/O logic scan is predictable.

Daisy Chain Loop Architecture
Daisy Chain

On the M580 and each CRA module, 2 Ethernet ports are used for linking the head and the drops
together.
These ports are labelled DEVICE NETWORK (ports ETH2 and ETH3).
• In a simple architecture, an M580 DEVICE NETWORK port is linked to a CRA drop modules
using one port.
• Additional drops can then be "daisy chained" from this point: .

Daisy Chain Loop Architecture
Daisy Chain Loop

To ensure a high reliability system, cable redundancy can be achieved by looping back to the second
DEVICE NETWORK port of the M580 CPU.
• This kind of architecture is deterministic and ensures high availability of the system, with
recovery times less than 50ms.

Limitations

Each Ethernet port accepts a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable.

The M580 CPUs and the CRA remote adapter modules do not have
fiber-optic ports.
Therefore, the distance to another Ethernet remote I/O drop must be
less than 100m using shielded CAT5e or greater (10/100 Mbps)
cable.

100m

Adding Extra Drops

Up to 31 CRA modules can be inserted to extend the distance, dependant upon the chosen M580 CPU:

BMX NRP 0200 / 0201

One option to extend the architecture beyond the 100m segments is to use BMX NRP 0200 / 0201 - Fibre-
optic repeater modules.
Using NRP modules allows for a fibre optic connection between consecutive X80 I/O drops. This allows for
distances up to 15km (single mode).

Dual Ring Switches

Another option to extend the architecture beyond the 100m segments is to use Dual Ring Switches (DRS)
• Using Dual Ring Switches (DRS) can extend the distance between consecutive Ethernet remote I/O
drops
• Distance extension (add 100m segments)
• Create sub-rings for high availability
• Allow integration of other Ethernet devices in the same network
• Using fibre optic DRS, extension up to 2 or 15 km
