Schneider BMENOC0301 Modicon M580 Ethernet Communication Module 3 Ports

Schneider Electric Modicon M580 BMENOC0301 is an Ethernet communication module with 3 RJ45 ports for the Modicon M580 ePAC system. It supports Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP protocols simultaneously, enabling real‑time data exchange between the PAC and connected devices. Designed for medium to large process applications requiring high‑speed, reliable network connectivity.

Applications:

• Controller‑to‑controller communication in M580 systems

• SCADA system integration via Ethernet and IP

• Multi‑device industrial network management (up to 128 devices)

• Process automation applications requiring Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP

Core Specifications:

• Number of ports: 3 Ethernet RJ45, 10/100 Mbit/s

• Protocols: Modbus TCP (client/server, I/O scanner), EtherNet/IP (adapter/scanner)

• Connection capacity: 128 EtherNet/IP or Modbus/TCP devices (client/scanner) | 16 EtherNet/IP adapter instances (server)

• Communication services: bandwidth management, FDR server, embedded multiport switch, RSTP, SNMP network administrator, embedded web server

• Ring topologies: on 2 Ethernet ports using RSTP（Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol）

• Compatibility: BMEXBP… Ethernet + X‑bus rack

• Power consumption: internal power via rack, ≤555 mA

• Operating temperature: 0…60 °C (32…140 °F)
