Description

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric BMEH5840KA (Modicon M580 Series) is a high-performance redundant Hot Standby (HSBY) Ethernet Programmable Automation Controller (ePAC) processor kit designed for mission-critical industrial process automation. Built on the Modicon M580 redundant platform, this controller ensures continuous operation and zero-downtime switchover for demanding oil & gas, water treatment, power, and manufacturing applications.

Powered by an internal 24 V DC backplane supply with a low current consumption of 360 mA, the BMEH5840KA provides an integrated 16 MB application memory, advanced cybersecurity features, and high-speed processing performance executing up to 40 Kinst/ms. Housed in a conformal-coated enclosure with IP20 protection, the unit weighs 0.85 kg (1.87 lbs) with a packaged shipping weight of 1.50 kg (3.31 lbs).

Core Technical Advantages

  • Bumpless Hot Standby Redundancy: Features dedicated high-speed optical HSBY synchronization ports to deliver seamless, real-time primary-to-standby controller switchover without process interruption.
  • Native Ethernet Backplane Architecture: Integrates dual Ethernet TCP/IP device network ports and dedicated service ports for direct Ethernet RIO/DIO scanner integration and high-speed deterministic networking.
  • Robust Conformal Coating: Treated with standard conformal coating (Class 3C4 / Class 3S4 resistant) to withstand corrosive gas, dust, moisture, and chemical exposure in severe plant environments.
  • Advanced Cybersecurity Protection: Embedded Achilles Level 2 certification, Syslog audit trails, IPsec encryption, hardware port hardening, and signed firmware prevent unauthorized system manipulation.
