Presentation
The Modicon M580 automation platform offers four different types of architectures with local racks or with racks in
remote drops. These four options are presented on the following pages as architectures A, B, C and D.
The Modicon M580 automation platform offers an I/O architecture solution over local racks, eldbuses and
Ethernet, connecting the M580 main rack to remote I/O (RIO) drops, installed on a Modicon X80 rack (1), and
distributed I/O (DIO) devices.
This Modicon M580 solution comprises:
b RIO drops on a Modicon X80 drop
b Ethernet DIO devices
b A choice of three CRA Ethernet drop adapters (standard or high performance) in each Modicon X80 RIO drop
b Two optical repeaters, for single mode or multimode optical ber, on Modicon X80 RIO drop
b A choice of three types of managed dual ring switches (DRS) from the ConneXium offer (2), congurable by
means of predened conguration les for immediate setup
Different architectures are therefore possible, such as:
b Ethernet RIO architectures with or without ConneXium managed switches (2)
b Architectures with separate or combined Ethernet RIO and Ethernet DIO devices on the same physical
medium
This solution also includes numerous options and functions as standard, providing:
b High process availability, with the option of connecting Ethernet RIO and Ethernet DIO in a daisy chain loop
b Deterministic data exchanges between the PLC and the Ethernet RIO
b Remote service, with a SERVICE port available on the M580 CPU or Modicon X80 CRA Ethernet drop

Typical architecture (3)
(1) The Modicon X80 range offers common I/O modules which can be used both in Ethernet RIO drops connected in
Modicon M580 automation platforms.
(2) Supported ConneXium switches: TCSESM083F23F1/063F2CU1/063F2CS1 (see page 2/11).
(3) This typical architecture representation is a conceptual network diagram and does not represent the actual wiring
specications.
Note
b The validated and tested
architectures are shown in
the technical documentation
available on our website
www.schneider-electric.com.
b The use of switches other
than those detailed in these
architecture I/O pages
(pages 2/4 to 2/19) is not
supported (2).
