Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactures the BTC06.2A-F-EH3-FW manual control unit, placing it within the BTC06 Manual Control Units series. As a portable operator panel, the device allows machine-tool or production-cell personnel to jog axes, adjust feeds, and initiate safety commands directly at the point of work. Its electronics link to CNC or PLC systems, providing a dedicated human-machine interface for setup, teach, and maintenance operations in industrial automation.

The housing measures 315 x 180 x 57 mm without the optional handle, giving enough surface area for the monochrome LCD that renders at LCD 240 x 128 pixels with LED backlighting for visibility across the 0 to +55 °C operating range. Data exchange to the host controller is handled through RS 232C and RS 422A/RS 485 ports, so short or long cable runs can be matched to required baud rates. Internal logic and illumination draw from a 24 V DC supply that tolerates 20 V to 30 V, protecting the panel against undervoltage during machine start-up. The enclosure meets IP 65 when all connectors are mated, preventing dust ingress and water jets from affecting the electronics.

For command input, the three-stage enable circuit is implemented through a Three stage, dual circuit activate button, while an independent emergency-stop mushroom and a tactile handwheel permit immediate axis disablement and precise incremental moves. The front membrane keyboard provides 48 keys formed in polyester foil, supporting numeric entry, soft functions, and override selection. A Polycarbonate case keeps mass low yet maintains impact resistance; combined with an integral handle, the unit weighs 1.3 kg, allowing operators to carry it for extended periods. An analog override potentiometer and dedicated supply line complete the local control features without requiring firmware to be pre-loaded in the handset.
