Product Description

The MPC293 is a flagship 32-bit processor for the Bachmann M1 automation system, engineered for large-scale, high-speed control applications. With a 1.1 GHz CPU, extensive memory, and integrated communication interfaces, it serves as a centralized master controller capable of managing hundreds of I/O points and multiple fieldbus networks simultaneously. Its fanless design and marine-grade certifications make it ideal for wind energy, maritime, and industrial automation.

Technical Specifications

Specification Details
Model Identification MPC293
Processor 1.1 GHz 32-bit CPU
System RAM 512 MB SDRAM
Removable Storage CompactFlash (CF) support for data logging/booting
Ethernet Ports 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit)
USB Ports 2x USB 2.0 Host
Fieldbus Interface Integrated CAN (CANopen)
Real-Time Clock Battery-backed high-precision RTC

Applications & Use Cases

  • Centralized master controller for large-scale M1 racks.

  • Handles high-speed motion control, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing, and sub-millisecond cycle tasks.

  • Suitable for wind turbines, maritime engine rooms, and industrial grid management.

  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet allows separation of control traffic from SCADA/network traffic.

Functional Hardware Comparison

  • Compared to MPC240/W, the MPC293 has much higher clock speed (1.1 GHz vs 240 MHz) and expanded RAM, making it ideal for complex calculations and high-density modular racks.

  • Lacks onboard I/O of "W" series but excels as a modular processing hub for racks with multiple specialized modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the MPC293 support mass storage for logging?
A: Yes, via CompactFlash slot and two USB 2.0 ports, supporting multi-gigabyte logging of system history and event data.

Q: Can safety logic run directly on the MPC293?
A: No, safety tasks are handled by SLC series safety modules. The MPC293 can act as a PROFIsafe F-Host to communicate with remote safety I/O.
