Product Description
The MX213 (Order Number: 00010464-50) is a high-performance central processing unit for the Bachmann M1 automation platform, designed to deliver fast, deterministic logic execution for complex industrial control systems. Positioned as a mid-to-high range processor in the M1 lineup, the MX213 is optimized for environments requiring synchronized high-speed motion control, extensive I/O management, and multi-protocol communication. Built in Austria, its hardware is engineered for continuous operation under high-vibration and thermally demanding conditions.
Equipped with the deterministic real-time operating system (M-OS), the MX213 ensures consistent cycle times and rapid response for safety-critical applications. Integrated communication interfaces—including Ethernet and serial ports—allow the CPU to function as a centralized hub for factory-wide networking. Its compact, fanless design provides long service life and minimal maintenance, while its robust mechanical architecture allows secure locking into any standard M1 backplane.

The MX213 can process large volumes of analog and digital data simultaneously, making it ideal for replacing multiple smaller controllers with a single, high-reliability unit.
Technical FAQ
Can the MX213 be used in decentralized architectures?
Yes. It is fully compatible with FASTBUS and CAN master modules, allowing centralized control of multiple remote I/O substations over fiber optic or copper links.
What is the function of the 7-segment display on the front panel?
The display provides real-time system feedback, including boot state, IP address information, and specific error codes (e.g., "E02" for battery failure), enabling faster on-site troubleshooting.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
