Product Overview

The FS221/N (Part Number: 00012201-10) is a high-performance FASTBUS slave substation interface module engineered for the Bachmann M1 automation system. It is designed to extend the controller's reach in distributed architectures, enabling high-speed real-time data exchange across distances up to 2,000 meters. A critical advantage of the FS221/N (00012201-10) is its integrated 100W power supply, which energizes the local backplane and connected I/O modules directly, effectively eliminating the need for additional NT series power units in remote racks.
