SCHNEIDER BMEAHO412 Analog Output Module – Modicon M580 Series
Imagine a continuous process line — a chemical dosing system, a variable-speed drive, or a precision temperature control loop — suddenly losing its analog command signal. Without a reliable analog output module, the entire control loop collapses: actuators freeze at their last position, flow rates drift out of spec, and operators are left scrambling to switch to manual override. Unplanned downtime in process industries can cost thousands of dollars per hour. The SCHNEIDER BMEAHO412 exists precisely to prevent this scenario, delivering stable, high-resolution analog output signals that keep your process running within tolerance, around the clock.
The BMEAHO412 is a 4-channel analog output module engineered for the Modicon M580 ePAC platform — Schneider Electric’s flagship Ethernet-native programmable automation controller. Within the M580 ecosystem, the BMEAHO412 occupies the role of precision field interface: it translates digital control commands from the CPU into industry-standard current and voltage signals with 16-bit resolution. Globally, the Modicon M580 series is deployed across oil & gas, water treatment, power generation, and advanced manufacturing, making the BMEAHO412 one of the most widely specified analog output modules in mission-critical automation infrastructure.

Key Features & Benefits
- 16-Bit Resolution: Delivers fine-grained analog output precision, critical for PID loops and proportional valve control where small signal deviations matter.
- Dual Output Mode: Supports both current (0–20 mA / 4–20 mA) and voltage (0–10 V) output per channel, reducing the need for signal converters in mixed-signal installations.
- Hot-Swap Capable: Designed for the M580 platform’s online module replacement capability, minimizing maintenance downtime in live production environments.
- Integrated Diagnostics: Built-in channel-level fault detection enables rapid identification of open-circuit or out-of-range conditions via Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert.
- Ethernet X Bus Integration: Native integration with M580’s Ethernet backplane ensures deterministic, high-speed data exchange with the CPU — no additional communication adapters required.
- Compact Form Factor: Standard M580 module footprint allows dense rack configurations, optimizing panel space in compact control cabinets.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Oil & Gas: Control valve positioners, flow control loops, pressure regulation systems on wellheads and pipelines.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Dosing pump speed control, aeration blower modulation, chemical feed rate management.
- Power Generation: Turbine governor analog setpoints, excitation control interfaces, boiler feed control.
- Pharmaceutical & Food Processing: Precision temperature and pressure control in batch reactors and CIP systems.
- Advanced Manufacturing: Variable frequency drive (VFD) speed reference signals, robotic axis analog command outputs.
- Building Automation (Large-Scale): HVAC chiller plant control, central cooling/heating loop management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the BMEAHO412 compatible with the older Modicon M340 or Quantum platforms?
A: No. The BMEAHO412 is designed exclusively for the Modicon M580 local rack (BMEXBP series). It is not compatible with M340 (BMX racks) or Quantum (140 series) platforms due to different backplane bus architectures.
Q: Can I mix current and voltage output modes on different channels of the same BMEAHO412?
A: Yes. Each channel can be independently configured for current (0–20 mA or 4–20 mA) or voltage (0–10 V) output via EcoStruxure Control Expert software parameters.
Q: What happens to the analog outputs if the M580 CPU goes to STOP mode?
A: Output behavior in CPU STOP mode is configurable in Control Expert — channels can be set to hold last value, fall back to a defined fallback value, or go to 0. This is a critical safety configuration for process applications.
Q: Do you supply both new and refurbished BMEAHO412 units?
A: Yes. We can supply factory-new units and professionally refurbished/tested units depending on your budget and lead time requirements. Please specify your preference in your inquiry.
Q: What is the typical lead time for BMEAHO412?
A: Stock availability varies. In-stock units typically ship within 3–5 business days internationally. For non-stock orders, lead time is quoted at time of inquiry. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Can Konmask.com provide a certificate of conformity or test report?
A: Yes, we can provide available documentation including packing lists with serial numbers. Third-party test reports can be arranged upon request for large orders.
