Modicon M340 and CANopen, your automation solution for modular applications
Dedicated to complex installations and distributed machines, the Modicon M340 programmable controller provides a powerful solution in a compact package. Combined with other Schneider Electric products (e.g., Altivar 31 variable speed drives, Preventa XPSMC safety modules, Magelis XBT GT operator terminals, Lexium 05 servodrives, Advantys FTB distributed I/Os and OTB automation islands) it provides both exceptional control and flexibility within a compact, simple-to-use and competitively priced package. As a solution, Modicon M340 simplifies installations by enabling the replication of tasks or commands across multiple units by leveraging a single, state-of-the-art software package to program all PLCs.

Advantages

Modicon M340 and Altivar 31 drive/Lexium 05 servodrive Advantages

Compactness and simplicity of installation Control of non-synchronized axis does not require an additional module in the programmable controller and movement management is by function block library to Open PLC standard. Diagnostics with fault management at source The programmable controller timestamps and records speed drive faults with display on operator terminal. Simplified maintenance The programmable controller stores speed drive configurations, executing automatic reconfiguration in case of standard exchange. Choice of control solution Altivar 31/61/71 drives for speed control, Lexium 05/15 servodrive for position control and IcIA ranges for positioning.

Modicon M340 and Preventa XPS MC Advantage

Programmable controller directly linked with safety information Automatic access to states of safety inputs managed by the Preventa safety module connected on CANopen for diagnostics management.

Modicon M340 and FTB/OTB Advantages

Flexibility in distribution of programmable controller peripherals The CANopen field bus offers input/output distribution by Advantys OTB in enclosure or by Advantys FTB modules directly on the machine structure. Services equivalent to modules in the programmable controller User-friendly installation, configuration and diagnostics by Advantys FTB modules in Unity Pro control software.

Modicon M340 and Magelis XBT GT Advantages plus Vijeo Designer control software

Time saving installation Data declared in Unity Pro can be reused without double entry in the Vijeo Designer control software. Centralized fault display on Magelis terminal The programmable controller timestamps and stores hardware and peripherals configuration information via CANopen without need for additional programming.
