The Pilz PSSU BP 1/12 S (312618) is a backplane module designed to provide a solid and reliable foundation for the PSSu modular I/O system. Developed with durability, compactness, and integration in mind, it supports the reliable connection and organisation of safety and automation modules in industrial applications.

The unit is constructed with high-quality housing materials: a PA (polyamide) lower section and a PC (polycarbonate) upper part. This combination of materials delivers strong resistance to mechanical stress, thermal variations, and long-term wear, ensuring reliability in demanding factory environments. The robust housing design protects internal connections, extending the lifespan of the system and reducing the risk of premature failures caused by environmental stressors.

Equipped with fixed screw terminals, the PSSU BP 1/12 S offers secure and durable electrical connections. Screw terminals are widely used in industrial automation due to their stability and ability to handle mechanical stress from vibrations and regular maintenance. This ensures that once connected, wiring remains reliably in place, minimising the risk of downtime from loose connections or electrical interruptions.

With a height of 155 mm, the module is compact enough to integrate efficiently into cabinet designs and modular setups. This makes it suitable for applications where space is limited but reliable safety and automation integration is required. Despite its small footprint, it provides a strong backbone for system expansion, enabling engineers to build scalable and adaptable architectures.

As part of the Pilz PSSu modular I/O family, the PSSU BP 1/12 S is designed for flexibility and system integration. It enables users to configure tailored safety and automation solutions, combining various input and output modules as needed. This modular approach supports gradual system expansion, future-proofing investments by allowing additional capacity without redesigning the entire architecture.

The module is well-suited to a wide range of industrial sectors, including automotive manufacturing, material handling, packaging, process automation, and robotics. In these fields, where operational reliability and compliance with safety standards are critical, the backplane ensures dependable integration of safety relays, controllers, and sensors into complete safety systems.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BP 1/12 S (312618) is a robust and efficient backplane module, offering durable housing materials, fixed screw terminals, compact design, and seamless integration into the PSSu system. It provides a dependable foundation for building scalable, flexible, and safe automation infrastructures, meeting the requirements of modern industrial environments.
