Modicon M580 - ePac Controller

Modicon M580 is the world’s first ePAC – with Ethernet built right into its core. Its gives you the power to design your automation architecture without constraint, by allowing to mix your remote and distributed I/O on the same network. You capitalize on X80 modules to reduce your maintenance and training costs and benefit from the latest technology and standards.

Modicon M580 - ePAC is the controller of choice for our collaborative and integrated automation architecture, PlantStruxure.

Develop, implement, and operate a process with all the benefits of open networking:

• MORE visibility of key process data and events
• MORE transparency and consistency of information
• MORE capacity for data traffic

The high-end Modicon M580 Ethernet Programmable Automation Controller (ePAC) features redundant controllers, new stand-alone safety controllers (safety PLC) with native Ethernet, and cybersecurity embedded in its core. It brings:

• Native Ethernet capabilities
• High performance
• High availability for processors & networks
• Common Safety SIL3 rating available (with M580 Safety PLC and Safety X80 I/Os including safety power supplies)
• Enhanced cyber-security
• More flexibility in design and greater agility for your operations
• Smooth modernization solutions
