MOORE 16407-01-1 Module Backplane is a critical component of the Moore QUADLOG safety instrumented system (SIS) and APACS distributed control system (DCS), serving as a standardized, high-reliability platform for mounting and interconnecting multiple I/O, control, and communication modules. It provides a unified mechanical interface, signal bus, and power distribution network, enabling seamless data exchange and power sharing between modules while ensuring compliance with industrial safety and reliability standards. This backplane is widely used in process industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and power generation, where it supports the operation of safety-critical systems requiring SIL 3 certification.

Basic Information

Product Name: MOORE 16407-01-1 Module BackplaneBrand: Siemens Moore (formerly Moore Products)Application: Moore QUADLOG SIS, Moore APACS DCSCompatibility: Supports Moore QUADLOG I/O modules, Advanced Control Modules (ACM), Communication Modules, and APACS I/O modulesMounting Type: Rack-mount (compatible with standard Moore QUADLOG/APACS racks)

Key Features

High-Density Module Support: Offers multiple slots (typically 8–16, depending on rack configuration) for plug-in modules, allowing flexible system expansion. Each slot provides a standardized interface for mechanical alignment and electrical connection, ensuring modules can be hot-swapped (if supported by the system) without disrupting overall operation.

Redundant Power Distribution: Incorporates dual power input channels to support redundant power supplies, ensuring continuous operation during a single power source failure. Power is distributed to each module slot with overcurrent protection to prevent damage from electrical faults.

Dedicated Signal Buses: Includes separate buses for data communication, control signals, and safety interlocks. The data bus supports high-speed, deterministic communication between modules, essential for real-time control and safety applications. The safety bus ensures compliance with IEC 61508 and SIL 3 requirements, enabling fail-safe operation.

Mechanical Robustness: Constructed with industrial-grade materials to withstand harsh operating environments, including temperature ranges of -40°C to +70°C, high humidity, and vibration. The backplane features a ruggedized design with secure locking mechanisms for modules, preventing accidental disconnection during operation.

Diagnostic and Monitoring Capabilities: Integrates with the system’s diagnostic tools to monitor backplane health, including power supply status, bus communication errors, and module presence detection. Faults are reported to the system controller for real-time alerts and maintenance scheduling.

Application Scenarios

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Used in emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas, and burner management systems, where it provides a reliable platform for safety-critical I/O and control modules.

Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Supports process control applications in refineries, chemical plants, and power stations, enabling seamless integration of I/O modules, controllers, and communication interfaces.

Retrofit Projects: Compatible with legacy Moore APACS and QUADLOG systems, allowing users to upgrade their systems without replacing existing backplanes, reducing downtime and costs.
