Product Description
The MPC240 (Order Number: 00010460-00) is a robust, fanless CPU module for the Bachmann M1 automation system. Powered by a 400 MHz Celeron/Pentium III processor, it delivers reliable real-time control and manages complex industrial processes with deterministic precision.
Featuring 128 MB DRAM, 512 kB battery-backed SRAM, and 64 kB battery-free nvRAM, the MPC240 ensures both high-speed operation and secure retention of critical parameters. Dual Ethernet ports, versatile serial connectivity, and a USB service interface make it ideal for networked industrial applications.

Technical FAQ
System updates: Firmware and programs are updated via Bachmann SolutionCenter over Ethernet or USB.
Battery failure: Critical parameters should be stored in the battery-free nvRAM-1 to remain safe if the battery-backed SRAM loses power.
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.
