Product Description
Bachmann BS208 Backplane Module
Product Overview
- The Bachmann BS208 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 BS208 offers a higher slot capacity than the BS203, BS204, BS205, BS206, and BS207, supporting larger and more complex system configurations.
