The Pilz PSSU BP 1/8 C-T – 314601 is a robust base module component for the PSSu (Pilz Safe System Universal) modular I/O platform, engineered to withstand harsh conditions while offering dependable integration into advanced automation and safety control systems. Designed for environments where both durability and adaptability are critical, it plays a key role in extending and supporting modular I/O setups.

A standout feature of the PSSU BP 1/8 C-T is its high environmental resistance. The module is rated for operation in environments with up to 93% relative humidity at 40 °C, ensuring reliable performance even in moisture-prone or humid production areas. Furthermore, it is designed to tolerate brief condensation events, which are common in facilities with fluctuating temperatures, such as cold storage areas or outdoor installations.

Another advantage is its suitability for use at altitudes up to 5000 m above sea level, making it applicable for industries and installations located in mountainous regions or high-altitude environments. This capability ensures that system integrity is not compromised by reduced air pressure or environmental stress associated with higher elevations.

The housing design combines strength and resilience with lightweight efficiency. The lower section is made from polyamide (PA), a material renowned for its toughness and chemical resistance, while the upper section uses polycarbonate (PC), valued for its strength, rigidity, and transparency. This combination ensures long-term durability while protecting internal components from environmental stressors.

As part of the PSSu modular system, the PSSU BP 1/8 C-T allows engineers to design and expand automation systems with flexibility. It enables the connection of additional input/output modules, ensuring scalability for both small applications and complex installations. Its modularity reduces installation time, simplifies maintenance, and supports cost-efficient system upgrades.

Typical applications include use in process automation, packaging systems, transportation technology, energy plants, and safety-critical machinery, where reliable modular expansion and robust environmental resistance are essential. The module’s ability to operate under high humidity and altitude conditions makes it particularly valuable in global installations with diverse environmental challenges.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BP 1/8 C-T – 314601 is a durable, adaptable, and environmentally resilient base component for the PSSu modular I/O platform. With its high humidity tolerance, condensation resistance, altitude suitability, and rugged housing materials, it provides a strong foundation for building scalable and reliable automation and safety control systems.
