Product Description
Bachmann BS204 Backplane Module
Product Overview
- The Bachmann BS204 is a Backplane Module designed by Bachmann electronic GmbH for use in their M1 automation system. This module serves as a modular baseplate or backplane, providing mechanical mounting and electrical connectivity for various M1 system modules, such as CPUs, I/O modules, and communication modules. It is used in industrial automation applications, including manufacturing, energy, process control, and renewable energy systems (e.g., wind turbines), to facilitate scalable and reliable system integration. The BS204 typically offers more slots than the BS203, accommodating larger system configurations.
