The Bachmann FS211/N is a robust FASTBUS slave module engineered for distributed automation architectures where reliability and signal integrity are critical. Operating under the coordination of a FASTBUS master, the module enables high-performance data exchange within the Bachmann M1 Automation System.
A key advantage of the FS211/N is its integrated power distribution capability, which allows it to supply local I/O modules directly. This design simplifies control cabinet wiring and eliminates the need for additional external power supplies, reducing system complexity while maintaining dependable operation in industrial environments.

The Bachmann FS211/N is designed for demanding automation environments, including industrial process control, data acquisition systems, and precision testing platforms. Its support for extended communication distances enables flexible node placement in large-scale installations.
With industrial-grade temperature tolerance and a rugged hardware design, the module can operate reliably in unconditioned field environments while maintaining consistent communication performance across the FASTBUS network.
What is the primary advantage of the integrated power supply?
The integrated 100 W power supply allows the Bachmann FS211/N to directly power connected local I/O modules. This reduces wiring complexity, lowers installation costs, and minimizes the overall footprint of the control system.
What cabling is required for the 200-meter range?
To achieve the maximum transmission distance of 200 meters while maintaining low latency and high signal quality, the use of HCS (Hard-Clad Silica) fiber optic cabling is recommended. This cabling type ensures stable signal transmission for distributed automation networks.
