Tough without Compromise
The measure of things – ultra-slim modules deliver 100 % reliability
Bachmann stands for robust and powerful automation solutions, properties that are further proven by the capabilities of the M100 series.
Founded on the Bachmann quality guarantee, our aim was to develop a system extension to optimally deliver a modular machine concept, utilize the latest technology, and ensure maximum availability.
The M100 series comprises a wide portfolio of relevant modules for decentralized signal acquisition, processing and output. Remote units are securely connected to the controller via standardized, real-time-capable fieldbus couplers.
2024 – the M100 series is growing
First up are the HD modules (High Density), which offer up to 50 % more channels in the same space. This is followed by a powerful power supply module for reliable station operation with high loads and new interface modules that make our M100 series even more flexible.
HD modules (High Density)
The new HD modules offer up to 50% more channels in the same compact form factor. For users, this means a space-saving solution that also enables significant cost savings - both in terms of hardware and integration.
Despite their higher density, the HD modules offer the same extensive additional functions as the standard modules. Four HD module types are currently available: DIS136, DOS136, AIO116 and UIO108.
Station supply – PSI135
For larger installations and increased immunity to interference, we now offer new dedicated power supply modules to ensure optimum reliability. These power supplies can be used in parallel with the M100 bus couplers, increasing both the power range and the reliability of the station.
Serial Interface Modules – COM102 / COM104
The new COM102 and COM104 modules offer serial interfaces according to the
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 standards, which can be set individually for each channel. Multiple placement on the EtherCAT substation allows numerous COM ports to be easily distributed and used flexibly.
Product Portfolio: M100 Series
- Digital Input/Output Modules (DIS1xx / DOS1xx / DOH108 – 8, 12, 24, 36 Channels)

Ready to Evolve
Engineering for the M100 has also evolved. For example, the future configurator can automatically determine the appropriate module combination from the desired channel functionality and required number of channels.
The result:
- High flexibility in the ongoing development process of plants and machines, as well as easy handling during commissioning
- Fast and convenient configuration in SolutionCenter including fieldbus and network configuration
- Faster channel adaptation to new hardware combinations
- Mapping of I/O process data to “Unified Fieldbus Model”, and therefore easy integration into existing software projects
- Fieldbus-independent configuration for future bus systems
The M100 series is the perfect system addition for decentralized use in combination with the Bachmann M200 series.
