Bachmann LM201 | Protective Dummy Module for PLC and M1 Racks

Bachmann LM201 Dummy Module – Slot Protection & Expansion Cover

Product Description / Overview

The Bachmann LM201 is a dummy module designed to fill unused slots in the M1 automation system. Moreover, it protects the backplane from dust, mechanical damage, and accidental contact with connectors. Therefore, it ensures the system remains safe while reserving space for future module expansions. In addition, the LM201 is ideal for industrial automation systems where not all slots are initially populated, but protection and modular expandability are required.
