Product Description:

The BTM03.1-BA-TA-TA-TA-TA-VA-2EF-FW operator panel is supplied by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the BTM03 Machine Operator Panels series. Designed for fixed mounting on machining centers and assembly lines, the unit combines pushbuttons, status indicators, and feed-rate controls in a single front-plate assembly. It serves as the direct human-machine interface that lets the operator issue start, stop, jog, and speed commands to the drive controller without relying on software menus, shortening reaction times during setup or production adjustments.

The faceplate incorporates four keypad modules, and each module provides 15 pushbuttons and 15 LEDs, giving the control system clear on and off feedback for every assigned function. The module quantity of 4 allows logical separation of axis, auxiliary, coolant, and cycle commands across discrete groups. A single feed override section gives the operator one tactile channel for rapid feed-percentage changes. That override section is supported by 3 pushbutton/LED pairs, so increment, decrement, and reset actions each have their own illuminated key. All signaling passes through the machine operator keyboard interface, which terminates on standard controller I/O cards for straightforward wiring.

Unused space on the panel is covered by a blank cover section, which helps preserve front sealing while leaving room for future expansion. Mechanical integration is simplified by overall dimensions of 19.0 x 6.8 x 4.0 in, and this footprint lines up with common 19-inch rack enclosures while providing enough depth for field-wired connectors. Installation weight is only 3.4 kg, so the panel can be mounted on light sheet-metal doors without reinforcing hardware. The assembly uses sealed switches and LEDs, which support long service life during repeated daily operation.
