The Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-T – 314610 is a reliable and robust base module for the PSSu (Pilz Safe System Universal) modular I/O system, designed to meet the environmental, operational, and safety demands of modern automation. This base unit provides the structural foundation for integrating I/O modules into safety and automation architectures, ensuring secure connectivity and long-term stability.

Engineered for harsh and variable environmental conditions, the PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-T is capable of operating in atmospheres with up to 93% relative humidity at 40 °C. In addition, it tolerates brief periods of condensation, which are common in environments with fluctuating temperatures, such as refrigerated facilities or outdoor production sites. This resilience makes it well-suited for industries where environmental challenges can otherwise compromise performance.

The unit also supports reliable operation at altitudes up to 5000 metres above sea level, ensuring that installations in high-altitude regions function safely without performance loss. This feature extends its application scope to industries such as mining, renewable energy, or transportation systems located in elevated terrains.

Durability is reinforced through the use of high-quality housing materials. The lower section is manufactured from polyamide (PA), offering toughness, impact resistance, and excellent stability under thermal stress. The upper section is made from polycarbonate (PC), valued for its rigidity, protective properties, and dimensional stability. Together, these materials ensure the base module can withstand mechanical stress and demanding industrial conditions over long operating lifespans.

As part of the PSSu modular platform, the BP-C 1/8 S-T enables the connection of additional digital or analogue I/O modules. This modularity offers engineers a high degree of flexibility and scalability, allowing them to adapt automation and safety systems as operational requirements evolve. The modular system reduces wiring complexity, simplifies installation, and makes expansions or modifications cost-effective.

Typical applications include use in factory automation, process control, machine safety, and decentralised I/O architectures, where flexibility, environmental tolerance, and robustness are critical. The PSSu system is especially valued in industries that demand compliance with rigorous safety standards while also requiring adaptability to future changes.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/8 S-T – 314610 provides a durable, adaptable, and environmentally resilient foundation for modular I/O systems. With its high humidity tolerance, altitude resistance, robust housing, and seamless modular integration, it enables reliable and scalable automation solutions for diverse industrial environments.
