C200HW-BI031

The C200HW-BI031 extension I/O backplane unit, manufactured by Omron Automation, is a crucial component within the C200H family of programmable controllers. The backplane is outfitted with three input/output (I/O) slots facilitating the connection of diverse I/O modules. The expansion cabinet can serve as a means to augment the functionalities of the programmable controller system. However, it is not feasible to employ the C200HW-BI031 extension backplane in a long-distance expansion rack. The compatibility of this backplane extends to a wide range of input and output modules belonging to the C200H family, encompassing both standard and specialized variants. Furthermore, it exhibits compatibility with various CPU modules derived from the Omron CS1 product line. The dimensions of the mounting holes on this expansion backplane differ from those on backplanes with larger slots. The mounting process involves the utilization of M4-type screws. The expansion backplane is categorized under the 5 volts DC voltage group. It consumes a current of 0.15 amps when operating at 5 VDC. The device facilitates the use of unit lock levers to effectively secure units or modules in place during the installation process. The backplane expansion module is equipped with a pair of input/output (I/O) cable connectors. One of the cable connectors establishes a connection between the backplane and the preceding rack inside the programmable controller system. In contrast, the other cable connector establishes a connection between the backplane and the succeeding rack. The C200HW-BI031 expansion backplane is characterized by its unique power supply connector, which differs from the connectors used for its I/O and CPU modules. The power supply is responsible for providing power to the input/output (I/O) and central processing unit (CPU) modules.
