Product Description:

The BTM03.1-TA-TA-TA-VA-BA-NA-2FF-FW is an operator panel from Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the BTM03 Machine Operator Panels series. It forms a local control surface on milling machines, lathes, and automated cells, allowing the operator to issue motion commands, adjust feed rates, and invoke safety routines without opening the main control cabinet. By combining status lamps, keyed switches, and emergency circuitry in one enclosure, the panel simplifies wiring and provides a standardized interface for the CNC or PLC. This arrangement keeps commonly used controls within easy reach during setup and normal machine operation.

The panel accepts up to 16 inputs, so discrete field signals such as pushbutton presses or limit contacts can be read by the host controller through the rear terminal block. It also drives 16 outputs, giving clear visual confirmation through lamps or other connected signaling devices. A cast-aluminum housing sealed to IP65 helps prevent dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from reaching the electronics, making the unit suitable for coolant-rich machining areas. The front of the panel has 6 module slots, and the complete assembly weighs 3.5 kg, which supports installation on articulated arms or light doors.

Slots 1 through 3 are populated with the same Keyboard Module, Writable, giving operators customizable legend strips for frequently used axis-select, start, and stop keys. The fourth slot contains a dedicated Feed Override Module that lets the operator scale the programmed feed rate with an analog potentiometer during test cuts or manual intervention. Slot 5 uses a Blank Cover, so that position remains open for later expansion. Safety control is handled through slot 6, which carries an illuminated Emergency-Stop Module wired to de-energize drives immediately when pressed.
