Some Questions about Upgrade to M580

Hey there,

we want to upgrade some of our old TSX87 PLCs to new Schneider M580. My boss gave me an order to make a plan.

My basic idea is to only use a M580 processor and some communication cards. For the I/O we want to use some Beckhoff bus couplers. So we got the possibility to convert our old Grafcet to new ones via software by Schneider. But if **** hits the fan we only have to change the processor and can use another system like Siemens or Beckhoff without changing the I/O devices.

My problem now is, that i don't know what bus i should use. I can't find many informations about the supported busses that the M580 is using or i can't find informations if a specific bus is working with it. I would prefer the Ethercat bus by Beckhoff. Can somebody say if it is working with the M580 processors or do i need to use some special communication card for it?

Maybe someone used it already in this combination.

 

Sorry for the bad english.

Greetings from Germany
