Abstract
A backplane configuration is described for supporting a range of modular components mechanically and for making electrical connections between the components. The backplane is particularly well-suited to power distribution and control applications, such as in industrial motor drives, and so forth. The backplane includes a number of bays or slots for modular components, as well as a bus topography that allows for switched or common connections between the various components.
