Schneider BMEH584040C Redundant Processor Module

Description

Schneider BMEH584040C Redundant Processor Module

The Schneider Electric BMEH584040C is a high-performance processor from the Modicon M580 range, specifically designed for Hot Standby (HSBY) redundancy. The “C” suffix denotes that it is Coated, meaning the internal circuit boards have a protective layer for use in harsh or corrosive environments.

## Product Overview

The BMEH584040C serves as the “brain” of an ePAC (Electronic Programmable Automation Controller). It is built on an Ethernet backbone, allowing for seamless communication and high-speed data exchange across industrial architectures. This specific model is essential for mission-critical applications where system downtime is not an option.

## Technical Specifications

## Key Product Advantages

• High Availability: The Hot Standby capability ensures that if the primary processor fails, the standby processor takes control instantly without interrupting the process.

• Native Ethernet: Built-in Ethernet connectivity at the heart of the processor allows for faster data throughput and easier integration with IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) devices.

• Enhanced Cybersecurity: Includes Achilles Level 2 certification, providing robust protection against unauthorized access and cyber threats.

• Durability (Coated): The conformal coating protects the electronics against moisture, salt spray, and chemical gases, extending the lifespan in heavy industries.

• Hot Swapping: Modules can be replaced while the system is powered on, reducing maintenance-related downtime.

## Product Applications

This processor is typically used in large-scale, critical infrastructure projects, including:

• Oil & Gas: Pipeline monitoring and refinery process control.

• Water & Wastewater: Treatment plants and desalination facilities.

• Mining & Metals: Control systems for smelting and material handling.

• Power Generation: Management of hydroelectric or thermal power plant auxiliaries.

• Food & Beverage: High-speed processing lines requiring continuous uptime.

## Important Considerations & Precautions

• Compatibility: This processor must be used with an X80 Ethernet backplane (e.g., BMEXBP series). It will not function correctly in a standard non-Ethernet backplane.

• Firmware Pairing: In a Hot Standby configuration, both the primary and standby processors must have the same firmware version and hardware revision.

• SD Card Requirement: Always use the Schneider-approved industrial SD card (BMXRMS008MPF) to ensure data integrity during power cycles.

• Configuration Software: Programming and configuration require EcoStruxure Control Expert (formerly Unity Pro) software.
