Bachmann BS201 00010507-00 Controller Module

FAQ

Q: Is the BS201 the same as the S201?
A: No. The BS201 is an active backplane that interconnects modules electrically. The S201 is a passive DIN rail adapter with no electrical function, used only for mechanical mounting of a single solitary module .

Q: Can the BS201 be used for any M200 module?
A: It is designed to host M200 control system hardware (power supply, CPU, I/O). If your module requires backplane power or bus communication, you need a BS-series backplane rather than the S-series adapter .

Q: What is the difference between the BS201 and a larger backplane like the BS216?
A: The primary difference is the number of module slots supported. The BS201 is a smaller backplane within the BS200 series (which ranges from 1 to 16 slots). Larger backplanes like the BS216 accommodate more modules for larger system configurations. Confirm the exact slot count for the BS201 in the official Bachmann documentation .
