Standards and certications
The Modicon M580 automation platform has been developed to comply with the 
principal national and international standards concerning electronic equipment for 
industrial automation systems.
b Requirements specic to programmable controllers: functional characteristics, 
immunity, resistance, safety, etc.: IEC/EN 61131-2, UL and CSA standards for 
industry (UL 508, CSA E61131-2).
b Requirements specic to power utility automation systems: IEC/EN 61850-3.
b Merchant navy requirements of the major international organizations: unied in 
IACS (International Association of Classication Societies).
b Compliance with European Directives for e marking:
b Low Voltage: 2006/95/EC
b Electromagnetic Compatibility: 2004/108/EC
b Ex areas:
v For USA and Canada: Hazardous location class I, division 2, groups A,B,C and D
v For other countries: e ATEX (directive 94/9/EC) or IECEx in dened atmosphere 
Zone 2 (gas) and/or Zone 22 (dust).
v Up-to-date information on which certications have been obtained is available on 
our website.
Protective treatment of the Modicon M580 automation 
platform
The Modicon M580 platform meets the requirements of “TC” treatment (Treatment 
for all Climates).
For installations in industrial production workshops or environments corresponding 
to “TH” treatment (treatment for hot and humid environments), Modicon M580 must 
be embedded in enclosures with minimum IP 54 protection.
The Modicon M580 automation platform offers protection to IP 20 level and 
protection against pins (enclosed equipment) (1). They can therefore be installed 
without an enclosure in reserved-access areas which do not exceed pollution level 
2 (control room with no dust-producing machine or activity). Pollution level 2 does 
not take account of more severe environmental conditions: air pollution by dust, 
smoke, corrosive or radioactive particles, vapors or salts, attack by fungi, insects, 
etc.
(1) In cases where a position is not occupied by a module, a BMXXEM010 protective cover must 
be installed.
(e): tests required by European directives (e) and based on IEC/EN 61131-2 standards.
