Product Description:

The BTC06.2A-F-EN3-FW/S001 is a manual control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the BTC06 Manual Control Units series. It serves as a portable operator interface that lets users jog axes, initiate machine sequences, and trigger safety functions from outside the main cabinet while staying close to the machine. By combining motion-enable hardware with graphic feedback in a sealed handheld enclosure, the device supports setup, diagnostics, and manual operation in industrial automation cells and machining centers. Its portable format makes local control possible in areas where a fixed operator panel is not within reach.

An LCD display of 240 × 128 pixels presents status text, icons, and simple graphics, while the black-and-white panel’s LED backlight keeps the screen readable on dim factory floors. Motion is armed through a three-stage, dual-circuit enabling button that lets drives detect both intentional enable and release states for safe Category 3 stop chains. Communication to the controller is handled through RS-232C and RS-422A/RS-485 ports, allowing either point-to-point or multidrop wiring. The enclosure meets IP65 so that dust and low-pressure water jets cannot enter during daily operation. Internal electronics run from a 24 V DC supply available from the machine fieldbus tap, and the built-in emergency stop pushbutton disconnects that line when pressed.

The handheld measures 315 × 180 × 57 mm, and its length increases to 363 mm when the optional handle is mounted, while a mass of about 1.3 kg keeps it practical for mobile use around the machine. The shell is molded from polycarbonate, providing impact resistance and chemical stability against oils and coolants found in industrial settings. Command entry relies on a polyester foil with 48 keys that tolerates millions of actuations and can be wiped down with standard cleaning agents. The key array provides direct input for repeated machine commands without requiring access to a fixed panel. Reliable performance is maintained within an ambient range of 0 to +55 °C, which matches temperature conditions commonly found on shop floors.
