Product Description:

The BTC05.1B-NP2-FW is a handheld operator interface manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied within the BTC06 Manual Control Units series. Intended for motion systems, the pendant allows operators to move axes, release interlocks, and monitor status messages directly at the machine. By combining push buttons, selector switches, and an enabling switch in one lightweight body, it provides immediate manual override and setup capability for industrial automation lines. This local access is useful when a machine must be positioned in small increments or checked after a stop.

The pendant is powered from a control cabinet supply of 24 V DC, with an acceptable range of 20 to 30 V DC, eliminating the need for separate power adapters. Its enclosure achieves IP65 protection, which helps seal the electronics against airborne dust and water spray near cutting fluids or washdown areas. Reliable function is maintained throughout an ambient range of 0 to +55 °C, so it can operate in normal industrial temperatures. The body is molded from polycarbonate, a thermoplastic chosen for impact resistance and electrical insulation. The complete assembly weighs only 1.3 kg, which helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use and makes it easier to carry around larger machines.

As part of the BTC06 Manual Control Units series, this model carries design code 1. Developed as a manual control unit, all field wiring, enabling circuitry, and emergency-stop channels are routed through a single hybrid cable so the pendant can be detached quickly during service. Keeping these functions in one cable reduces the number of separate leads at the cabinet entry and helps keep the connection layout orderly. The control layout allows direct local operation while high-voltage equipment remains sealed inside the cabinet.
