❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is the main advantage of using the AS5021.006 Rack Module?

A1. Its integrated backplane optimizes signal integrity and power distribution, minimizing electrical noise and crosstalk—crucial for sensitive CPU and high-speed I/O cards.

Q2. How many cards can the rack accommodate?

A2. The AS5021.006 provides six slots, allowing installation of a CPU (e.g., AS5023.003) plus multiple expansion modules for I/O, communication, or motion control.

Q3. Is the rack suitable for harsh industrial environments?

A3. Yes. Its shielded metal housing provides strong resistance to EMI and vibration. Passive cooling ensures long-term operating reliability in industrial settings.

Q4. Does the AS5021.006 include a power supply?

A4. No. The rack itself is passive. A separate +24 VDC industrial power supply is required to feed power into the backplane.
