Presentation
Modicon M340 automation platform Standard and Performance processors from the Modicon M340 automation platform
manage an entire PLC single-rack station on which a maximum of 11 slots can be
equipped with:
v Discrete I/O modules
v Analog I/O modules
v Application-specific modules (counter, Ethernet TCP/IP communication)

The four processors offered have different memory capacities, processing speeds,
number of I/O and number and type of communication ports.

In addition, depending on the model, they offer a maximum (non-cumulative) of:

v 512 to 1024 discrete I/O
v 128 to 256 analog I/O
v 20 to 36 counter channels
v 0 to 2 Ethernet TCP/IP networks (with or without integrated port and network
I/O and application-specific module)
modules
Depending on the model, Modicon M340 processors include:
BMX P34 processor
v A 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet TCP/IP port
c or a power supply v A CANopen machine and installation bus
v A Modbus serial link
v A USB type TER port (for a programming terminal)

Each processor is supplied with a memory card used for:

v Backing up the application (program, symbols and constants)
v Activating a standard web server for the Transparent Ready B10 class integrated
Ethernet port (depending on the model)

This memory card can be replaced by another type of memory card, to be ordered
separately, that supports:
v Backing up the application and activating the standard web server (same as other
card)
v A 16 Mb storage area for additional data organized in a file system (directories
and sub-directories)

Programming Modicon M340 applications

To set up processors from the Modicon M340 automation platform, you need either:
b Unity Pro Small programming software
b Unity Pro Medium, Large or Extra Large programming software identical to that
used to set up Modicon Premium and Modicon Quantum automation platforms
b With possibly, depending on requirements:
v Unity EFB toolkit software for developing EF and EFB libraries in C language
v Unity SFC View software for viewing and diagnostics of applications written in
Sequential Function Chart language (SFC) or Grafcet

The function block software libraries provide Modicon M340 processors with the
processing capability required to meet the needs of specialist applications in the
following areas:
b Process control via programmable control loops (EF and EFB libraries)
b Motion control with multiple independent axis functions (MFB (Motion Function
Blocks) library). The axes are controlled by Altivar 31/71 variable speed drives or
Lexium 05/15 servo drives connected over the CANopen machine and installation
bus.

Application internal RAM

The application memory is divided into memory areas, physically distributed in the
Modicon M340 processor’s internal RAM:

1 Application data area, which may be one of two 2 possible types:

v Located data, corresponding to the data defined by an address (for example
%MW237) with which a symbol can be associated (for example, Counter_reject).
v Unlocated data, corresponding to data defined only by a symbol. The use of
unlocated data eliminates the restrictions of managing the memory location since the
addresses are assigned automatically and also allows data to be structured and
re-used.

This data area is backed up automatically when the PLC is turned off by duplicating
its contents in a 256 Kbyte non-volatile internal memory integrated in the processor.
It is also possible to back up this memory at any time with a user program.

2 Program, symbols and comments area: At program level this area contains the
executable binary code and IEC source code.
3 Constants area: This area supports the constant located data (%KWi).

4 Area for online program modification (see page 43400/5)

The user can choose to transfer the source data to the executable program in the
PLC. The fact of having the program source in the PLC means that, when an empty
programming terminal is connected to the PLC, all the elements needed to debug or
upgrade this application can be restored to the terminal. Comments and animation
tables can be excluded from the data embedded in the PLC.

Memory card
Modicon M340 processors are supplied with an SD (Secure Digital) type Flash
memory card. This memory card is intended for backing up the program, symbols
and comments area 2 and the constants area 3.

Duplication (for areas 22 and 33) and retrieval (on return of power) operations are
managed automatically by the system and are therefore transparent to the user.

This card (formatted by Schneider Electric and supplied with each processor) is
referenced as a replacement part BMX RMS 008MP.

modification 4 5

In place of the BMX RMS 008MP memory card (supplied as standard with each
processor), BMX P34 2010/2020/2030 processors can take the BMX RMS 008MPF
memory card. With the three above-mentioned processors, this card also offers (in
addition to the features of the BMX RMS 008MP card supplied as standard
described on page 43400/4):

5 A file storage area (for additional data, such as production data and manufacturing
recipes): This area is limited to 16 Mb. These files can be managed from the
application program or by any FTP client connected to the Ethernet TCP/IP port
integrated in the processor.

For BMX P34 2020/2030 processors with integrated Ethernet TCP/IP port, the
BMX RMS 008MPF memory card also offers standard web services (Transparent
Ready class B10).

The Unity Pro prtogramming software assists the application designer with managing
the structure and memory space occupation of the Modicon M340 automation
platform.

Protecting the application

If necessary, it is possible to prohibit access to the application (in terms of reading or
modifying the program) by only loading the executable code to the PLC.
Additionally, a memory protection bit, set in configuration mode, is also available to
prevent any program modification (via the programming terminal or downloads).

Modifying the program in online mode

As with Modicon Premium and Quantum platforms (with Unity Pro software), the
online program modification function is available on the Modicon M340 automation
platform with the option of adding or modifying the program code and data in different
places in the application in a single modification session (thus ensuring modification
is homogenous and consistent with the controlled process).

The application internal RAM memory area 4 authorizes these program modification
or addition sessions while observing the recommendation to structure the application
program in several, reasonably-sized sections.
