Backplane – The Optimized Solution for Industrial Automation Integration

In large-scale automation projects, optimizing cabinet layout, ensuring high system reliability, and simplifying installation are critical requirements for engineering teams.
The Backplane from PR electronics (Denmark) is engineered to address all these challenges with superior performance, robust design, and seamless integration capabilities.

As a central connection platform, the Backplane serves as the backbone for mounting and integrating signal conditioning modules—especially in modern DCS, PLC, and SIS systems.

1. What Is a Backplane?

A Backplane is a central interconnection board that allows multiple modules—such as I/O, signal isolators, communication modules, and safety devices—to be installed via a Plug & Play architecture.

The PR electronics Backplane is designed for the 9000 Series modules, supporting a full range of signals:

Analog Input (AI)
Analog Output (AO)
Digital Input (DI)
Digital Output (DO)
Intrinsic Safety (I.S.) modules for hazardous areas

This provides flexibility, easy maintenance, and long-term stability for industrial systems.

2. Key Advantages of the PR electronics Backplane

2.1. Space Optimization & Cost Efficiency

Available in 8-slot and 16-slot configurations
Reduces cabinet space by more than 30% compared to conventional wiring
Flexible installation: horizontal or vertical mounting
Lower wiring costs, installation time, and manpower

The Backplane is ideal for factories needing system expansion or modernization.

2.2. High Reliability – Certified for Industrial Environments

The Backplane and 9000 Series modules comply with stringent international standards:

SIL 2 / SIL 3 (IEC 61511) for functional safety
Zone 2 approval for hazardous areas
IEC 60068-2 vibration and shock standards
Redundant power supply support to ensure continuous operation

Built for 24/7 operation, the Backplane delivers stability in harsh industrial conditions.

2.3. Intelligent Integration & Easy Operation

Fully compatible with all 9000 Series modules
Provides HART Multiplexer Access for remote monitoring, configuration, and service
Direct integration with DCS, PLC, and SIS systems
Snap On/Off mechanism allows quick module replacement without tools

The system’s intelligent design minimizes installation errors and maximizes operational efficiency.

2.4. Advanced Diagnostics & Alarm Features

The Backplane includes built-in monitoring capabilities:

Status Relay for module-level fault indication
System-wide or segment-level alarm options
Supports safe and predictable operation in critical systems (power plants, oil & gas, chemical industries)

This level of diagnostic visibility is a major advantage over traditional wiring methods.

3. Applications of the PR electronics Backplane

The Backplane is widely used in industries requiring precision, safety, and high system availability:

🏭 Power plants: boiler control, burner management, turbine systems
🛢️ Oil & gas / Petrochemical: SIS, ESD systems, hazardous-area control
⚙️ Industrial manufacturing: packaging lines, process monitoring
🌊 Water & wastewater treatment: pump stations, remote monitoring
🚢 Marine: control & safety systems onboard vessels

Its flexibility makes it suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects.
