Modicon PACs

Our latest midrange PAC is the most integrated ever! Highly requested by industrial OEMs and end users, the all-power-inside concept boasts high-performance processing and small size to create a system that provides flexibility beyond any before. With up to three built-in CPU communication ports, large memory options, sixty-four channel high-density modules, and embedded web servers, the Modicon M340 is a powerful solution for industrial OEMs and end users demanding more productivity in their PACs.

The Modicon M340 PAC supports advanced communications such as enhanced Ethernet/IP which support Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and daisy chain loop communications on the same four-port, rack mounted switch module. It will also support DNP3.0 in serial or Ethernet in a rack-mounted RTU module. The Modicon M340 PAC is programmed with Unity Pro software, which allows users to dramatically reduce setup time and effort with features like drag ‘n drop CANopen bus setup and standard IEC 61131–3 language selection. Designers gain fast, easy and efficient startups.

The Modicon M580 ePAC (Ethernet Programmable Automation Controllers) features openness, flexibility, robustness and sustainability. The M580 ePAC is designed with an Ethernet backbone to optimize connectivity and communications. The microprocessor has three native Ethernet ports on the chip. Schneider Electric collaborated with the supplier to design the microprocessor, and in 2013 the supplier agreed to provide the microprocessor for 20 years, helping to protect customers' long-term investments. The powerful processors offer high levels of computation for complex networked communication, display and control applications.

The M580 ePAC is designed for cybersecurity. It has an Achilles Level 2 certification. Achilles Level 2 certification by Wurldtech is considered to be the best cybersecurity certification available for PACs. The M580 has other advanced embedded cyber security features that are defined by IEC 62443. This includes, but is not limited to the ability to disable unused services, control of remote access to the PAC and integrity checks of Unity Pro executable files. The M580 ePAC supports X80 common I/O modules which can be easily integrated into its architecture.
