The FS211/N (Part Number: 00012201-00) is a FASTBUS slave interface for the Bachmann M1 system, enabling remote I/O substations with real-time data exchange and low latency. It includes an integrated 100 W power supply, allowing the module to independently power all local I/O cards, eliminating the need for an additional power module.
The FS211/N supports cable runs up to 200 meters with HCS fiber or high-quality copper, making it ideal for distributed automation in large-scale industrial, wind energy, and maritime applications.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Module Role | FASTBUS Slave (controlled by M1 Master) |
| Integrated Power Output | 100 W (powers local I/O modules) |
| Input Voltage | 48 V DC |
| Data Rate | Up to 10 Mbit/s |
| I/O Capacity | 32 single-ended channels |
| Max Communication Distance | 200 m (HCS or high-grade copper) |
| Signal Latency | Low-delay architecture |
| Operating Temperature | −20 °C to +60 °C |
Used for distributed control in wind turbines, maritime engine monitoring, and large industrial plants where I/O stations are hundreds of meters from the main controller.
Does the FS211/N require a separate NT power supply?
No. The module’s integrated 100 W PSU powers the local backplane if connected I/O modules stay within the 100 W limit.
Can I use standard CAT5 cables for long runs?
Bachmann recommends HCS or high-grade copper for maximum distance and EMI immunity. Shorter runs may use standard copper but should follow FASTBUS installation guidelines.
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.
