The YASKAWA JRMSI-B1026 is a 6-slot Mounting Base (Backplane) from the legacy Memocon-SC GL series (specifically the GL60 / GL70 / GL120/130 architectures).

It serves as the physical chassis and electrical communication highway for a medium-sized PLC configuration.

Introduction

The JRMSI-B1026 acts as the foundation for the Memocon-SC system. It provides the internal bus connections that allow the CPU to communicate with I/O modules and power supplies.

While the series is largely considered “legacy,” the B1026 remains a critical component in existing industrial plants that rely on Yaskawa’s robust 1990s-era automation hardware.

Product Advantages and Features

Modular Flexibility: The 6-slot design is ideal for medium-complexity machines, offering a balance between space-saving and expandability.

High Vibration Resistance: Built to the heavy-duty standards of the automotive and steel industries, ensuring the modules remain securely seated.

Passive Backplane Reliability: Since the base contains no active processing components (it is a bus highway), it has a very high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

Gold-Plated Connectors: Features high-quality contact points to prevent signal degradation or oxidation over decades of service.

Automotive Assembly: Used in legacy conveyor systems and robotic cell interfaces where Memocon PLCs were the standard.

Water Treatment Plants: Controlling simple sequence logic for pumps and valves in aging municipal infrastructure.

Retrofit Maintenance: Providing a stable platform for technicians to swap out faulty old-generation I/O cards without replacing the entire control system.

Need to verify compatibility?

If you are replacing a damaged base, it is vital to ensure the slot connectors are free of debris and that your existing CPU (e.g., GL series) supports the 6-slot addressing.
