Schneider Electric LMC058LF42S0 Logic Controller
Product Introduction
The Schneider Electric LMC058LF42S0 belongs to the Modicon LMC058 range, a controller family known for combining logic and motion functions on one platform. This specific model is the logic-only variant. Specifically, it uses the same hardware as the LMC058LF42 but ships with the motion option deactivated, so it provides zero synchronized axes. As a result, it suits machine builders who need powerful logic control and distributed I/O without paying for unused motion capabilities.
Technical Specifications
The LMC058LF42S0 operates on a 24V DC supply with a range of 20.4 to 28.8V. Its dual-core ARM Cortex-A8 processor delivers a scan speed of 22 ns per Boolean instruction. For memory, the unit offers 128 MB Flash and 64 MB RAM. Additionally, a 3V CR2477M lithium battery maintains the real-time clock and retain variables during power loss.
I/O Capacity and Logic Control
This controller provides 26 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs. Among the inputs, 10 are fast type, 12 are regular, and 4 are configurable. The outputs include 12 regular channels and 4 fast channels. Meanwhile, the fast outputs support pulse functions for simple positioning tasks. High-speed counters are integrated through the fast inputs. Furthermore, users can expand the system with up to 7 TM5 expansion modules, which covers a wide range of analog and digital add-ons.
Communication and Programming
The LMC058LF42S0 carries the same rich connectivity as its motion counterpart. It includes one Ethernet RJ45 port for Modbus TCP/IP, one serial RS-232/RS-485 port for Modbus RTU/ASCII, and two CAN ports. The CAN channels support CANopen master, while CANmotion remains inactive on this variant. Besides, a SUB-D15 encoder input accepts incremental signals. For programming, engineers use SoMachine or EcoStruxure Machine Expert software.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
This logic controller measures 175 mm in height, 99 mm in width, and 85 mm in depth. It mounts on a symmetrical 35 mm DIN rail. The IP20 protection rating fits clean control cabinet environments. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +55 °C. For storage, the range extends from -25 to +70 °C. Relative humidity tolerance spans 10 to 95%, non-condensing.
Installation Guide
Installation starts with mounting the LMC058LF42S0 onto a 35 mm DIN rail. Next, connect the 24V DC power supply inside the allowed voltage range. After that, attach the Ethernet, serial, and CAN cables to their ports. If needed, wire the encoder to the SUB-D15 connector. Finally, configure the controller in EcoStruxure Machine Expert and check the status LEDs before startup.
