Modicon PLC Processors

Modicon PLC Processors are programmable automation controllers that function as the core of the customizable PLC built with processors, I/O modules, backplanes, power supplies, and optional networking, specialty and remote I/O modules. This modular approach allows for expansions and flexibility in the design of logic controllers and automation controllers for industrial control systems. Modicon has two PAC processor series - M340 PAC and M580 ePAC.

M340 PAC
The Schneider Electric Modicon M340 Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) are modular PLC processor components for small to medium industrial control systems. These Modicon M340 PLCs use modbus, CANopen, modbus TCP, or Ethernet/IP communication standards. The M340 support modbus serial, modbus TCP, BACnet MS/TP, BACnet IP, and LonWorks. Schneider Modicon M340 PLCs work with analog, discrete, and serial X80 I/O communication modules.

M580 ePAC
The Schnieder Electric Modicon M580 Ethernet Programmable Automation Controllers (ePACs) are modular PLC processor components for medium to large industrial control systems. These M580 PLCs have built-in cybersecurity with redundant processors and built-in Ethernet. The Modicon M580 PLC units have 64 MBs of memory, with an optional 4 GB SD card. The Modicon M580 ePACs are scalable from a single-rack system to a plantwide architecture.
