Product Description

The 3BP151 is a C-UL-US listed automation chassis providing 12 slots for 10 I/O or system modules in a slim 165 x 480 x 23mm NEMA metal housing. It enables consolidating legacy hardwired assets into one centralized monitoring and control platform. Packing substantial flexibility into a compact footprint, this rugged backplane fits easily on crowded machine panels using just 20mm side clearance. It distributes power to all modules while meeting hazardous area requirements through certification.

Accommodating analog, discrete, serial, and bus modules, the chassis bridges sensors, drives, pumps, valves, and human interfaces into a unified architecture. Integrated retention features and conductive slot lining enable hot-swapping modules under vibration loads. A unified architecture with integrated power distribution reduces complicated wiring while enabling customized I/O arrangements. Onboard fusing adds protection from downstream spikes and faults across the backplane's extended operating temperature range.

Certification to North American standards ensures quick integration at United States and Canada facilities without additional barriers or inspection requirements. Rugged metal construction passively resists moisture, gases, impacts, and other environmental threats. Offering substantial flexibility in a space-saving form factor, the 3BP151 provides high-density connectivity solutions for legacy assets not worth upgrading individually. It extends equipment lifespan while enabling emerging communication. Blending versatility, compact modular design, and regional certification, this heavy-duty chassis simplifies everything from machine retrofits to plant-wide integration projects. It adapts quickly to equipment upgrades or layout revisions through distributed I/O modularity.
