Where it sits in the control system
The BMEH582040 is the device-level element in a Schneider Electric industrial component installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — the rated supply — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in control panels, machine builds, spare-part replacements, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides DIN rail / panel support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Schneider Electric BMEH582040
Schneider Electric BMEH582040 — PLC / CPU module used as the device-level control core in an automation panel, handling logic, timing and communication tasks. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number BMEH582040; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Certifications: CE, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Enclosure rating: IP20 (IEC 60529) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Humidity: 5…95 % 131 °F (55 °C) without condensation — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Weight: 1.87 lb(US) (0.849 kg) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
