Product Description:

The BTM03.1-NA-TA-TA-TA-SA-VA-2EA-FW is an operator interface panel manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied through the BTM03 Machine Operator Panels series. It mounts on the front of a machining center or cell so an operator can start cycles, adjust process parameters, and trigger safety functions without opening the control cabinet. By linking its pushbuttons and keys directly to the PLC, the panel streamlines local command entry, keeps essential controls within reach, and reduces delays during setup or process intervention. Because the controls are placed on the machine front, routine commands can be entered without shifting attention away from the work area.

For safety, the panel carries two normally closed emergency-stop circuits rated at 2 NC. Redundant contacts support immediate power removal and allow monitoring for wire breaks. Navigation and data entry rely on 3 keypad modules, and each module provides 15 tactile keys for fixed machine commands. During process adjustment, a feed override knob lets the operator scale axis feed rates in fine steps, while a separate spindle override allows independent spindle-speed trimming. These front controls reduce the need for software changes when material conditions or tool wear call for small operating corrections.

The unit supports 16 local inputs for additional pushbuttons or selector switches and offers 16 local outputs for stack lights, relays, or interlocks that must react quickly. Its classification is Machine Operator Panel, which means the enclosure and connector layout follow a standardized Rexroth format. The panel includes E-Stop, 3 Keypads, Feed, Spindle controls from the factory, so the front layout is ready for local machine operation as delivered. This arrangement keeps frequently used commands on the panel instead of moving them to separate external stations. It also keeps indicator and command wiring concentrated at one operating location, which can simplify panel-to-machine signal routing.
