Schneider BMXRMS004GPF M580 4GB SD Memory Card
Product Introduction
The BMXRMS004GPF serves as an essential accessory for Modicon M580 series processors. This SD flash memory card offers a plug-and-work solution that reduces startup time and enhances overall system reliability. Specifically designed for industrial applications, this card supports critical functions including application backup and data logging services. For facilities using M580 ePAC systems, this memory card represents a valuable tool for managing program files and operational data.
Technical Specifications
The BMXRMS004GPF provides substantial storage capacity for your automation needs. It features 4GB total memory, with 64MB dedicated to application saving and 3.93GB available for general data storage. This card supports up to 100,000 write cycles and offers a 10-year data retention period, ensuring long-term reliability for critical program files.
Regarding compatibility, this card works specifically with Modicon M580 BMEP58... series processors. Schneider Electric has pre-formatted this card exclusively for use with M580 processors, and using non-Schneider formatting tools will destroy the required data structure.
Application and Usage
This memory card supports two primary functions in M580 systems. First, it enables application backup, allowing you to store and restore program files conveniently. Second, it facilitates data logging services, storing data logging files in .csv format for process analysis and reporting.
The card fits into the SD slot located on the front of compatible modules, protected by a door. Furthermore, the system provides visual confirmation through an LED indicator that shows the card status. This light illuminates when the card is available and recognized, and remains off when the card is unavailable or the data logging feature is inactive.
Installation and Operation Guidelines
Installing the BMXRMS004GPF requires following specific procedures for safe operation. First, always power down the system before inserting or removing the memory card. Inserting or removing the card while the PLC runs may cause the module to fail recognizing the card and risks losing application data.
Additionally, avoid using write-protected cards with this module, as some services will not operate properly. For optimal performance, keep the card away from electrostatic and electromagnetic sources, extreme heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and physical impacts. When shipping the card, check postal security policies, as high radiation used in some countries may erase its contents.
