The BS206 (Part Number: 00012130-00) serves as the robust communication backbone for the Bachmann M1 automation system. Designed for high-performance industrial environments, this backplane enables high-speed data exchange and reliable power distribution across six dedicated module slots. Its rigid mechanical structure ensures stable and uninterrupted internal bus connections, even under high-vibration operating conditions.
The unit incorporates a modular interlocking design, allowing multiple backplanes to be connected side-by-side for seamless system expansion. This architecture supports scalable control solutions ranging from compact logic controllers to complex, multi-module process automation systems. An integrated DIN rail mounting mechanism compliant with EN 60715 standards allows quick, tool-free installation in standard control cabinets.

The BS206 backplane is widely used in wind energy control systems, maritime automation, and heavy industrial machinery, where mechanical robustness and long-term operational stability are essential. It is a standard choice for engineers seeking a medium-density I/O footprint within the Bachmann M1 automation ecosystem.
Does the BS206 require a separate power feed for the bus?
No. The backplane distributes power directly from the central power supply module installed in the first slot. The internal bus connection is established automatically once modules are inserted and securely locked in place.
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.
