Modicon M340
Modicon M340
Product Description
The common platform of modules for Modicon M580, Quantum Ethernet I/O and M340 PAC
Part of Modicon
All modules with X80 form factor: backplane, power supply, I/O digital, I/O analog, communication, expert, etc.
Features
- A comprehensive range of I/O and expert modules: 1ms at source system time stamping (Sequence Of Event), counting, Turbo Machinery Control (TMC), HART protocol, weighing, diagnostics.
- Simplified ordering process and spare parts management via single IO platform for Modicon M580 and Modicon M340.
- Openness: Offers large support of fieldbuses and protocols with AS-I, CANopen, Profibus DP, Serial (Modbus and ASCII), legacy (e.g. Interbus-S).
- Connectivity: Easy integration of field devices and third-party products through standard FDT/DTM technology.
- Time savings in engineering and commissioning with EcoStruxure Control Expert Software through simulation tool, bit forcing, predefined libraries and motion function blocks for CANopen, code checking.
- Wiring time savings with a large choice of prewired cables for easy connectivity to X80 modules.
- Easy evolution during operations without process stop via Change Configuration On the Fly (CCOTF) functions, and can add devices online.
- High availability: Redundant X80 power supplies, use of main X80 modules in redundant architecture.
- Reliability and robustness: These high-quality modules are proven in use in Modicon M340 and Modicon M580 large installed base. Also, they support more than the required standards in terms of shocks, vibrations and EMC environment.
- Certified offer: Compliant to international environmental standards for all main regions and specific segments (Power generation, Functional safety, Marine, Hazardous areas, Fire and Gas, Railway, Nuclear).
- Compact modules: High-density modules with up to 32 channels with removable terminal blocks and up to 64 channels with pre-assembled cord set to reduce space in the control cabinet.
- Sturdy modules to support severe environmental conditions: Conformal coating and can be used in the extended temperature range (-40ºC to +70ºC).
- Optimised maintenance with native channel self-diagnostics (Device DDT structured data), Faulty Device Replacement (FDR) functions, preventive maintenance features for redundant power supplies and hot-swappable modules.
Benefits
- Reduce time to profit — e.g. save up to 3 weeks on a 3 month project resulting in $2 million of extra production at launch.
- Improve process efficiency through 5x faster scan time and save up to US $2 million per year for a typical high-volume manufacturing plant with the latest processing technologies.
- The Modicon M580 Safety Controller is the only PAC in the marketplace that can offer 100% ROI within three months of implementation.
- Modicon X80 modules support more than the standard requirement for robustness even in a severe environment with a solid construction, compliant to international standards and marine certifications.
