The M340 processor module has a maximum of 1024 discrete and 256 analog I/O (Modbus or Ethernet). 36 application specific channels, product or component type. The processor module can do monitoring, diagnostic counters Modbus, event counters Modbus, is transparent ready, has 4 CANopen racks and 11 slots. It also has 1024 I/O multirack configuration, 704 I/O single rack configuration, analog I/O processor capacity, 256 I/O multirack configuration and 66 I/O single rack configuration. The Modicon M340 offers in a small form factor flexibility and integrated functions. In the heart of your process, it provides plug-and-play solutions with both Schneider Electric and third party devices. The large capacity of Unity Pro SoCollaborative software will ease and shorten programming and commissioning time. Modicon M340 Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) are built to suit the needs of the process industry and a wide range of demanding automation applications. Modicon M340 PACs can be used individually, but are also the perfect companion to the Modicon M580. Together they can increase the performance, quality, and the profitability of your machine production. M340 PACs have an all in one CPU. It operates at 7 Kinst/ms. By using a multitasking system, it has reflex time. This PAC is programmed with Unity™ Pro software. The M340 has a USB port for programming and HMI. Two additional Ethernet, CANopen® or Modbus™ ports are available as required. The memory can process programming code up to 70 Kinst. Application back up is in a supplied memory card. Additional file storage is available up to 128 MB with FTP access. Additional file storage is available up to 128 MB with FTP access. The M340 range doesn’t require a battery. It has extended temperature (-25°C +70°C) and conformal coating for operation in harsh environments. Protection for SI and OEM know how by using a SD card technology. Replace or hot swap I/O modules without stopping process. Configuration change on the fly (CCOTF) is used. No need to stop the process to expand system. FTD/DTM configuration tools for plug and play device integration. This simplifies configuration, commissioning, and maintenance. The M340 range is used in process industries, renewable energy applications (Solar, Wind power, etc.), water and cement applications, in manufacturing, in infrastructures and on machines.
