Schneider Electric BMENOC0311 Ethernet Module

Schneider Electric BMENOC0311 Ethernet Module is a 3-port FactoryCast Ethernet communication module for the Modicon M580 family of programmable automation controllers. This module plugs into an M580 rack to provide three independent Ethernet ports, expanding plant-network connectivity while enabling FactoryCast web services for remote access, diagnostics, and data sharing across the automation topology. Built to preserve the performance envelope of BMENOC0301, the BMENOC0311 delivers the same core Ethernet capabilities on the M580 platform while adding dedicated FactoryCast functionality for secure, supported connectivity to on-site networks and FactoryCast-enabled cloud or enterprise services. Typical applications include multi-segment industrial Ethernet networks requiring separate paths for control and monitoring, edge connectivity for SCADA/HMI systems, and integration of field devices into a unified Ethernet topology within a Modicon M580 installation. Compatible with Modicon M580 racks and slots, the BMENOC0311 is a scalable upgrade that expands Ethernet reach and FactoryCast-enabled visibility without redesigning the backplane architecture.
