The Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-J (part no. 312612) is a high-performance backplane module belonging to the Pilz PSSU I/O system family. Specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of modern automation and safety applications, this component provides a reliable interface for system expansion and ensures that critical input and output functions are handled with the precision and dependability that Pilz is known for.

Engineered for industrial resilience, the PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-J is capable of operating in environments with relative humidity levels of up to 93% at 40 °C. This robust specification highlights its suitability for facilities where moisture and fluctuating conditions are present. However, to ensure optimal functionality and service life, condensation is not permitted during operation. This safeguard maintains the electrical integrity of the component, preventing corrosion or short-circuit risks in challenging conditions.

In addition to its environmental ratings, the device is designed to withstand significant mechanical stress. It has been tested in compliance with EN 60068-2-6 vibration standards, ensuring dependable performance even in facilities where continuous machine vibration is unavoidable. Furthermore, its shock resistance rating of up to 15 g provides assurance that the component will remain secure and functional under sudden impacts or operational disturbances, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial sectors such as manufacturing, processing, and material handling.

The housing design reflects Pilz’s commitment to durability and practicality. With its lower section constructed from PA (polyamide), the component benefits from a lightweight yet strong material that resists impact, chemicals, and heat. This ensures that the PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-J can maintain its integrity in demanding industrial environments, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life.

As part of the Pilz PSSU I/O system, the module integrates seamlessly into safety and automation infrastructures. Its design allows engineers to configure and expand control architectures flexibly, supporting both functional safety requirements and system scalability. By ensuring reliable signal transmission and secure mechanical fit, the PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-J contributes to smooth system operation and compliance with industrial safety standards.

Installation and integration are streamlined through Pilz’s modular approach. The component is designed for easy handling, enabling technicians to mount and connect it efficiently while ensuring long-term system stability. This reduces installation times and minimises the risk of setup errors, ultimately supporting cost-effective deployment across multiple machines or production lines.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-J I/O system module is a durable, vibration-resistant, and humidity-tolerant solution for industrial automation and safety applications. Its robust housing, compliance with international standards, and seamless compatibility with Pilz I/O systems make it an essential choice for industries that demand both reliability and flexibility in their safety and control architectures.
