The Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/8 C (312611) is a robust base module within the Pilz PSSu I/O system, designed to provide a reliable foundation for modular safety and automation applications. As part of the scalable PSSu platform, this base unit supports flexible integration of input, output, and functional modules, enabling users to configure control systems tailored to specific industrial needs.

One of the key attributes of the PSSU BP-C 1/8 C is its environmental resilience. The module is rated for operation in conditions of up to 93% relative humidity at 40 °C, allowing it to perform reliably in environments where moisture is present. This tolerance makes it particularly suitable for industries such as food and beverage, logistics, and process automation, where fluctuating temperature and humidity levels are common.

The housing materials further contribute to its durability and reliability. The base section is made from polyamide (PA), a material known for its robustness and resistance to wear, while the upper section is manufactured from polycarbonate (PC), offering excellent impact resistance and stability. Together, these materials ensure that the module is capable of withstanding mechanical stress and long-term use in demanding industrial environments.

The PSSU BP-C 1/8 C is equipped with a fixed terminal style, ensuring secure and permanent wiring connections. This design enhances reliability by minimising the risk of loose connections or unintentional disconnections during operation. For operators and maintenance teams, fixed terminals also simplify system integrity checks, helping to maintain continuous and safe operation.

With a height of 129 mm, the module’s compact dimensions make it well-suited for installation in modern control cabinets where space efficiency is a priority. Despite its modest footprint, the PSSU BP-C 1/8 C provides the strength and connectivity required to support a broad range of system configurations, from smaller, standalone machines to complex distributed automation networks.

As a member of the PSSu modular platform, this base module forms the backbone of scalable systems. Users can expand functionality by adding additional input and output modules as required, enabling long-term flexibility and adaptability. This modularity ensures that systems built on the PSSU BP-C 1/8 C can grow alongside evolving production requirements, protecting investment and future-proofing installations.

For integrators and operators, the benefits are clear:

Dependable operation in humid environments.

Long-lasting durability through high-grade housing materials.

Secure connectivity with fixed terminal design.

Scalability and flexibility within the Pilz PSSu ecosystem.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/8 C (312611) is a durable, compact, and reliable base module that underpins the flexibility of the PSSu I/O system. With its strong environmental resistance, robust housing, and dependable wiring design, it delivers the reliability and scalability essential for modern industrial automation and safety applications.
