Product Description

The APC1200 backplane from B&R Automation's APC series delivers a reliable 24VDC power source for automation systems. Weighing only 200g, its compact DIN rail form factor occupies minimal cabinet space yet supports distributed control architectures. As part of the APC lineup, the APC1200 backplane works seamlessly with controllers like the APC2100 for fully-integrated solutions.

Operating from a wide temperature range between -10 degrees C to 60 degrees C, the APC1200 withstands conditions found on the plant floor. It distributes up to 2-3A of current drawing a maximum 10A via internal overcurrent protection. For user safety, the backplane incorporates a 125VDC fuse and must be handled according to electrostatic discharge precautions. Compliance with FCC Part 15 limits electromagnetic emissions, allowing use near sensitive electronics without interference. Mounting directly to standardized DIN rails, the APC1200 can be installed virtually anywhere in an enclosure. Its compact design takes up minimal depth yet offers flexible power ports. This makes the APC1200 well-suited to applications with limited space like decentralized control stations. Removable terminals simplify connecting loads while keeping the footprint small.

Designed for reliability over extended use, the APC1200 backplane supports continuous operation from -10 degrees C to 60 degrees C. This temperature tolerance is important for applications that run equipment throughout changing seasons without disruption. Integrated ESD shielding, overcurrent protection up to 125VDC/10A, and FCC-compliant emissions work together to ensure safe, robust performance meeting industrial standards. Manufactured to B&R's high quality, the APC1200 delivers flexible 24VDC power distribution. Its small footprint takes up minimal cabinet space yet supports systems with fully integrated controllers and distributed I/O. Cost-effective DIN rail mounting, wide temperature range, and ESD protection combine to provide dependable service even in demanding industrial environments.
