Product Introduction
Stable backplane power is the silent foundation of reliable fieldbus module operation. The (also designated IPM2-) is a cabinet-grade industrial power module designed specifically for the I/A Series 200 baseplates. It delivers regulated, low-noise DC power directly to the baseplate bus, ensuring that sensitive I/O modules operate consistently even under fluctuating mains or load conditions.
This unit is engineered to drop directly into existing IPM2 power positions without requiring cabinet layout changes. Field maintenance teams value the for its A/B redundant architecture, which allows one side to carry the load seamlessly while the other is replaced during day-shift maintenance without triggering process alarms.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Exact 200 Series Compatibility: Designed as a direct fit for FOXBORO I/A Series 200 Series baseplates; not recommended for non-FOXBORO backplanes due to proprietary bus regulation.
- True A/B Redundancy: Typically deployed in redundant pairs to eliminate single points of failure; supports live replacement of one side while the other carries the load.
- Low-Noise Power Architecture: Provides conditioned power to minimize electrical noise introduced to sensitive I/O modules on the backplane.
- Rigorous Live Bench Testing: Every unit undergoes a 24-hour continuous load test with voltage ripple measurement and thermal monitoring before shipping.
- New Surplus Availability: Factory-sealed condition with verified source traceability, bypassing typical OEM lead times for discontinued I/A Series hardware.
- Anti-Counterfeit Verification: Serial numbers are checked against manufacturer databases during incoming inspection to guarantee authenticity.

FAQ
No. The (IPM2) is specifically designed for the I/A Series 200 Series baseplates. Legacy I/A Series 10 systems use different power architectures and form factors. Always verify your baseplate series before ordering.
The IPM02 and IPM2 designations can denote different hardware revisions or manufacturing batches. While they share the same base function, the internal current limiting and soft-start circuits may differ. I always recommend matching the exact suffix to avoid backplane compatibility issues. If you must substitute, verify the output voltage and current specs against your FBM carrier requirements first.
Do I need to configure anything before installing this power supply?
No. This is a purely analog power module with no firmware or configuration parameters. However, you should verify the output voltage with a multimeter before connecting it to the backplane. I always recommend checking the DC rails against the I/A Series specification sheet before energizing the FBM carriers.
What happens if I install this without checking the backplane for shorts?
You risk immediate module failure. A shorted FBM or damaged backplane trace can draw excessive current, blowing the internal fuse or damaging the switching regulator. Always perform an insulation resistance test on the backplane before installing a new power supply. Use a 500V megger and verify >10 MΩ between power rails and ground.
Is there a warranty on this new surplus unit?
Yes. All new surplus modules come with a standard 12-month functional warranty. If the unit fails during normal operation within that period, we provide a direct replacement. We also include our internal test report with every shipment so you can verify the 24-hour load test and voltage regulation results before installation.
