Product Short Description
Product Name: Bachmann CPC210 — M1 Series Processor Control Module / Power & Control Combo Module
Product Introduction: The CPC210 is a compact controller for the Bachmann M1 automation platform. Depending on the specific configuration/order number, it is available either as a high-performance central processor unit (CPU) for deterministic real-time control, or as a combined 240 W industrial power supply + 32-bit PLC in a single module. Both variants share the goal of saving cabinet space and delivering reliable automation in demanding environments.
Description
Technical Specifications (M1 CPU variant):

- Dimensions: 55 mm × 120 mm × 62 mm (single-slot M1 housing)
- Weight: 0.38 kg
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to +60°C
Technical Specifications (Power + PLC Combo variant — e.g., CPC210/240W):
- Input Voltage: 100–240 VAC (-15%/+10%), 50/60 Hz
- Output: 24 VDC ±1%, 10 A (240 W)
- Efficiency: 93% @ 230 VAC
- Processor: 32-bit RISC, 300 MHz
- Memory: 32 MB DDR2; Storage: 8 MB Flash
- Communication: 1× EtherCAT (100 M, ≤100 μs cycle), 1× RS-485, 1× USB 2.0
- Protocol Stack: EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus-TCP, OPC UA
- Control Cycle: ≤1 ms (typical 500 μs)
- Isolation: Input–Output 3 kVAC, Output–PE 500 VDC
- Dimensions: 120 × 60 × 125 mm
- Weight: 800 g
- Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C (natural cooling, fanless)
- Protection: IP20 (module), optional IP65 panel kit
Functional Features:
- IEC 61131-3 programming via Bachmann engineering tools
- M1 modular ecosystem — works with digital, analog, counter, gateway I/O modules on the same backplane
- Deterministic task scheduling for motion, process, and power applications
- EtherCAT ≤100 μs synchronization (combo variant) — directly controls up to 64 servo axes or 4000 I/O points without additional communication modules
- Overload and short-circuit protection (combo variant)
- LED status indicators for power and fault conditions
- Hot-swap not supported — power down the rack segment before removing the processor module
Application Scenarios: Wind power (turbine main control, pitch/yaw subsystems — reduces nacelle cabinet space by 50%), process industries (distributed I/O coordination for pressure/flow regulation), machine building (packaging, metal forming, material handling), marine & offshore, test benches.
Installation Requirements:
- M1 CPU variant: DIN-rail mounting on M1 carrier; plug-in backplane connectors
- Combo variant: 35 mm DIN-rail, 6-module width (105 mm)
- Ensure front-access connectors remain accessible for commissioning
- Maintain proper backplane seating to avoid communication faults
Usage Precautions: Verify whether the specific CPC210 order number is the CPU-only variant or the Power+PLC combo variant — their electrical ratings and I/O capabilities differ significantly. Do not hot-swap; power down before removal. Confirm EtherCAT master/slave role configuration matches the network topology. For the combo variant, ensure 93% efficiency does not exceed cabinet thermal budget in high-ambient environments.
