The backplane combines the node adapter and the I/O

modules into a mechanically robust EMC compliant unit.

Fully assembled I/O stations can thus be pre-tested after

mounting and transferred to the application without fur

ther modification. This assembly enables individual mod

ules to be exchanged and retrofitted without having to

remove the unaffected modules.

The backplane enables real-time communication between

modules as well as with the node adapter, provides the

power supply to the logic side of the modules and enables

module-to-module communication.

Fastening with solid M5 screws makes this variant ideal for

environments that are exposed to high shock and vibration

loads. The solid metal body and large mounting area on the

rear allow high heat dissipation to the support structure.

This increases thermal reserves for applications involving

high ambient temperatures.
