The MAQ20-BKPL24 is a DIN-rail backbone designed to support one communication module and up to 24 I/O modules, fitting in an industry-standard 19" rack. It measures 17.41" x 0.94" (442.1mm x 3.9mm) and uses spring clips for mounting on 35x7.5mm gull-wing DIN-rails. The backbone features pluggable terminal blocks at each end for direct or remote interconnection, with a maximum expansion distance of 100ft (30m). It supports RS-485 inter-module communications, is passive in circuitry, and prevents reverse module installation. Operating and storage temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C, with 0 to 95% noncondensing relative humidity. It is heavy industrial CE compliant and UL/cUL listed for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D (File E232858), with ATEX compliance pending.
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.
