Bachmann M100 Control System Control-Systems for Demanding Applications

For over 55 years, Bachmann electronic has stood for efficient engineering,

exceptional performance, and unmatched robustness.

The M100 is the next step on our journey.

The market landscape in the coming decades will face challenges unlike

any before. Emerging technologies, the demand for greater efficiency and

uptime, and the rising importance of data are driving change.

The same holds true for control, networking, and automation systems.

With the M100. Bachmann offers a brand-new control platform as the

foundation for advanced automation tasks. Powerful CPU modules,

advanced security, extreme I/O bandwidth, and real-time networking –

all within a future-proof, scalable architecture. The boundaries between

measurement technology, industrial control, motion controllers, edge

devices and IoT are disappearing.

We stay aligned with the demands of this challenging segment.

The priorities remain the same – unmatched robustness, efficiency,

and performance.

M100-SERIES

ARCHITECTURE AND INTERFACES FOR A RAPIDLY EVOLVING

DIGITAL WORLD. CONTEMPORARY AND FUTURE-PROOF, SCALABLE

AND EFFICIENT. ENGINEERED WITH LONGEVITY IN MIND.

The M100 is exceptionally robust, resilient to interference, and built to last

Users benefit from condensation-resistant versions, extreme temperature

resistance up to 70 °C, shock and vibration tolerance, and excellent EMC

resilience. Customer satisfaction, uptime, and product longevity improve,

while downtime costs are minimized.

The M100 is compact and highly scalable

Modular hardware and software – use the same control technology for

everything from simple individual functions to complex plants. Choose

from a wide range of processor performance options and over 60 signal

modes, all with high functional density.

The M100 delivers superior performance

Real-time multiprocessor processing and more than 1100 Mbit/s backplane

bandwidth, nanosecond time stamping and clock synchronization, motion

control platform, direct module-to-module communication for microsecond

response times.

The M100 is open

The user‘s solution space is maximized by the use of open standards,

ready-made third-party products, and open-source components,

with programming currently supported in IEC 61131‑3. C and C++, and

soon also in Simulink and Python.

The M100 is secure

The system starts with a root of trust and secure boot. Multi-layered

security, including process isolation, least privilege, and role-based

access control, enables IIoT services and edge nodes alongside PLCs and

BDE systems.
