The Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/12 C-T (314621) is a durable base module designed for the PSSuniversal I/O system, forming part of Pilz’s modular automation and safety platform. Engineered to provide robust mechanical support and secure connectivity, this base module is essential for configuring and expanding modular control architectures in industrial environments where flexibility, safety, and reliability are critical.

A standout feature of the module is its ability to operate at altitudes up to 5000 metres above sea level. This high-altitude tolerance makes it ideal for installations in regions such as mining operations, elevated industrial facilities, and global projects where environmental conditions are more demanding. Few base modules are capable of offering this range, giving the PSSU BP-C 1/12 C-T a distinct advantage in terms of application scope.

The unit is also designed to handle brief condensation, adding a layer of resilience in environments where temperature changes may occasionally create moisture. While continuous condensation is not permitted, this tolerance ensures the module can continue operating reliably in facilities where environmental fluctuations are unavoidable.

Constructed with high-quality housing materials, the lower section of the base module is made from polyamide (PA), chosen for its mechanical strength and resistance to wear. The upper section is crafted from polycarbonate (PC), a material known for its toughness, dimensional stability, and resistance to heat. Together, these materials provide a rugged enclosure that protects the module and ensures consistent performance under industrial stresses.

With a height dimension of 155 mm, the base module offers a compact design optimised for cabinet integration. Its space-efficient form factor supports clean, organised wiring layouts and simplifies installation in both new and existing systems. The module is also fully compatible with the PSSuniversal I/O platform, meaning it can be combined with a wide range of input and output modules to create tailored automation and safety solutions.

The PSSU BP-C 1/12 C-T is ideally suited to industries requiring scalable automation architectures that can adapt to changing operational needs. Typical applications include manufacturing, energy, logistics, and process industries, where both safety and flexibility are critical. By providing a robust and adaptable foundation, this module enables engineers to design modular systems that balance reliability with future-proof scalability.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BP-C 1/12 C-T (314621) is a versatile and rugged base module that underpins the flexibility of the PSSuniversal I/O system. With its high-altitude capability, condensation tolerance, durable housing materials, and compact 155 mm design, it offers a dependable solution for industrial automation environments worldwide.
