The MAQ20-BKPL4 is a DIN-rail backbone designed to support one communications module and up to four I/O modules. It mounts on standard 35x7.5mm gull-wing DIN-rails using spring clips and measures 5.05 inches by 0.94 inches (127.1mm x 3.9mm). The backbone features pluggable terminal blocks at each end for direct or remote interconnection, supports RS-485 inter-module communications, and includes mechanical reverse-installation
The MAQ20 system backbone resides within the DIN rail used for module mounting and provides power to and interface between the communications module and the I/O modules. Standard backbones provide for one communication module and 4, 8, 16, or 24 I/O modules. The longest backbone, which accommodates 24 I/O modules, fits in an industry standard 19" rack. Each backbone utilizes a pluggable connector system on each end such that varying system channel counts can be configured using the standard backbones. As a result of this pluggable system, the main part of a system, including the communications module, can be installed in one location while other sets of I/O modules installed in remote locations connect to the main system through a wire harness.
