Product Description

The 3BP154.4 versatile backplane offers a streamlined way to securely host compatible I/O and system modules in industrial control cabinets. It contains 7 vertical slots while supporting 5 modules distributed between integrated main and expansion sections. The compact 165 x 240 x 23 mm dimensions allow flexible positioning in space-constrained enclosures. Despite the small footprint, there is still 20 mm clearance provided on both sides for necessary ventilation and component access.

Certified for usage across Canada and the United States, the 3BP154.4 meets stringent C-UL-US requirements. This ensures reliable performance from -20 to +70 degrees C with the proper precautions. Technicians must adhere to all local codes and properly ground the backplane during installation to prevent electrical noise issues. In terms of layout, the main backplane contains 5 vertical slots for a mix of system or I/O modules as required. The integrated expansion backplane then offers 2 additional I/O slots. This combination enables distributed applications.

While the total module count tops out at 5, the 7 vertical slots provide welcome flexibility in configuring the precise combination of functionalities needed. Supported modules simply snap into the open slots and lock securely in place. The backplane offers two key benefits that translate into real-world value. First, consolidating modules in one place reduces wiring complexity versus individual installations. And second, the product allows adding or changing modules later as operational needs evolve.
