Description
Product Overview
The VALMET 542936-2A is a Rack Module used in legacy Valmet Automation control-system configurations. The part is associated with a range of Valmet modules and identifiers, including MT910, MT019, MT936, AIU 16, MT012, T9623 and MT006.
Available product records also associate the 542936-2A rack with Valmet Automation, PMB 1S and other rack-mounted control modules. This makes it a useful replacement component for maintaining older Valmet industrial and marine automation installations.
The exact configuration can depend on the modules installed in the rack. For replacement work, the complete part number and physical rack arrangement should therefore be matched with the existing installation.

⚠️ Exact rack dimensions, slot count, connector pinout, supply voltage and electrical specifications should be confirmed from the physical unit and original system documentation. Public listings contain multiple compatible-module combinations for this part number, so these details should not be assumed from the part number alone.
Function
The 542936-2A provides the rack-level mechanical and electrical infrastructure for compatible Valmet Automation modules.
Depending on the original system configuration, the rack can accommodate control, I/O, signal-processing and interface modules. Associated references include MT-series modules and AIU 16, while other 542936-2A listings reference PMB 1S, PUD-10B, BIU 16R and DMU 2 configurations.
It should therefore be treated as a rack/system assembly, rather than a standalone PLC CPU or individual I/O card.
Typical Applications
🏭 Valmet industrial automation systems
📄 Process-industry control equipment
⚙️ Machinery automation
🚢 Marine automation systems
📡 Distributed control and I/O installations
🔧 Legacy Valmet Automation maintenance
🛠️ Replacement of obsolete rack assemblies
Associated Module References
The 542936-2A is listed with several Valmet module references, including:
• MT910
• MT019
• MT936
• AIU 16
• MT012
• T9623
• MT006
Other product records for the same rack part number also reference PMB 1S, PUD-10B, BIU 16R and DMU 2. These should be regarded as associated system/module references, not as interchangeable substitutes for the complete rack.
Installation & Replacement Guide
Before replacing a 542936-2A, check the following:
- Confirm the complete part number 542936-2A.
- Photograph the existing rack and installed modules before removal.
- Record the position of every connected module.
- Compare the mechanical dimensions and mounting arrangement.
- Check all connectors for corrosion, bent pins or physical damage.
- Verify the rack wiring against the existing system documentation.
- Confirm the installed MT-series and AIU modules.
- Check power-distribution connections before energizing the rack.
- Perform system diagnostics after installation.
- Confirm communication and I/O operation before returning the equipment to service.
⚠️ Do not substitute another Valmet rack only because it carries a similar MT-series module. The rack, module position and connector configuration must be compatible with the existing control system.
Identification Checklist
For procurement and maintenance records, save all markings from the physical unit:
VALMET 542936-2A
MT910
MT019
MT936
AIU 16
MT012
T9623
MT006
If additional PMB, revision, serial-number or assembly markings are present, these should also be recorded.
Maintenance Tips
🔧 Keep rack connectors clean and dry.
🔧 Inspect contacts for oxidation during scheduled maintenance.
🔧 Check rack mounting hardware for vibration-related looseness.
🔧 Inspect wiring and terminal connections for heat or mechanical damage.
🔧 Protect unused connectors against dust and moisture.
🔧 Store spare rack assemblies in a dry, ESD-protected environment.
🔧 Keep the exact part number and installed module arrangement in the maintenance database.
