GM6-B04M

Description

4-slot main base chassis for the GLOFA GM6 series, intended to host a CPU, power module and up to 4 functional I/O or option modules.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The GM6-B04M is the compact 4-slot main base in the GM6 product family. It provides the backplane, CPU/power connectors and room for up to four modules, making it a neat choice for small machines and compact OEM panels where a single-rack controller is required. The GM6 family documentation lists the B04M as the 4-slot main base and specifies the standard module allocation and power/slot behavior for the series.

Pros

• Compact main base for small controllers, CPU and power local to the rack.
• Simplifies wiring and cabinet layout for compact OEM panels.

Limitations

• Limited to 4 slots; add expansion racks for larger I/O requirements.
• Check power/thermal budget when populating with power-hungry modules (analog, special modules).

Typical use cases

• Small machine controllers, local OEM panels, compact AHU drives where a single small PLC rack is preferred.
