Product Overview

The BS204 (Part Number: 00012110-00) is a fundamental 4-slot backplane designed for the Bachmann M1 automation system. It serves as the physical and electrical backbone for compact PLC configurations, providing structural support and high-speed internal bus connectivity. The BS204 (00012110-00) typically accommodates one CPU module and up to three additional I/O or communication modules.

Engineered for reliability in high-vibration environments, such as wind turbine towers or maritime engine rooms, the backplane features a reinforced housing and a secure module-to-backplane screw locking system. Its lateral bus connectors allow for seamless side-by-side expansion, enabling engineers to bridge multiple backplanes to meet evolving system requirements.
