BACHMANN MX213 – High-Performance Redundant Processor Module | MC200 Series Platform
Engineering Background
The BACHMANN MX213 is a central processing unit (CPU) module designed for the BACHMANN MC200 modular automation platform. Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the MX213 delivers deterministic real-time control with support for hot-standby redundancy, making it a preferred choice for critical infrastructure, power generation, and process automation applications where unplanned downtime carries significant operational and financial consequences.
Product Positioning
The MX213 occupies the mid-to-high tier of the BACHMANN MC200 CPU lineup, offering a balance of processing throughput, I/O scalability, and communication flexibility. It is the go-to module for system integrators and OEMs who require IEC 61131-3 compliant programming, high-speed cycle times, and seamless integration with BACHMANN’s distributed I/O and drive ecosystems. Konmask.com stocks verified-authentic MX213 units sourced through authorized distribution channels, with full traceability documentation available on request.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The MX213 mounts directly into the MC200 backplane rack, communicating with I/O modules via the high-speed internal bus. In a redundant configuration, two MX213 units operate in a primary/standby topology: the primary CPU executes the control program and continuously synchronizes process image data to the standby unit. Upon detection of a primary fault, the standby assumes control within the configured switchover time, preserving all retain variables and output states.
External engineering workstations connect via Ethernet using BACHMANN SolutionCenter IDE for program download, online monitoring, and firmware management. Field devices interface through the MC200’s distributed I/O modules or via fieldbus masters (PROFIBUS DP, CANopen) hosted on dedicated communication modules within the same rack.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the MX213 compatible with older MC200 racks?
A: Yes. The MX213 is backward-compatible with standard MC200 backplane racks. Verify rack revision and power supply capacity before installation.
Q: Can the MX213 run without a redundant partner?
A: Yes. The MX213 operates as a standalone CPU. Redundancy is an optional configuration activated via software licensing and a second MX213 unit.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: BACHMANN SolutionCenter (based on CODESYS) is required for program development, download, and diagnostics. Contact BACHMANN or Konmask for licensing guidance.
Q: What is the typical lead time for MX213 from Konmask?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days internationally. For urgent requirements, DHL Express options are available.
Q: Does Konmask provide a warranty?
A: Yes. A 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects is provided on all new units. Terms available on request.
