Product Description:

The BTM03.1-TA-TA-TA-VA-SA-HA-2EA-FW operator panel is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the BTM03 Machine Operator Panels series. It is a front-end human-machine interface designed for mounting on machine tools or production cells, where it supplies tactile control elements to a Rexroth CNC or drive system. By combining several function modules in a single housing, the panel allows the machine builder to present frequently used axis, spindle, and feed override controls directly to the operator without navigating software menus.

Slot numbering shows the physical arrangement of plug-in subunits. Slots 1 through 3 each accept a Key Pad Module, giving the operator independent membrane keys that can be mapped to part program start, stop, or auxiliary functions. Slot 4 is reserved for a Feed Override Module, which provides a potentiometer or incremental switch so feed rates can be trimmed during machining. Slot 5 carries a Spindle Override Module to let the user raise or lower commanded spindle speed in real time, while slot 6 houses a Hand Wheel Module that delivers pulse generator feedback for manual axis jogging. Electrical power and discrete I/O from these modules are routed through the dual input connectors X28 and X29, which keep the wiring path organized between the front panel and the control cabinet.

Configuration data, status lines, and diagnostic messages leave the panel over the dedicated serial connector X8, enabling direct communication with the control cabinet while isolating high-current override circuitry on the front panel. The panel is supplied with preinstalled modules, so integration is limited to mounting the housing and connecting the cables to the cabinet interface. It uses a standard mechanical footprint that keeps panel cutouts, mounting locations, and front-panel spacing consistent across matching installations and machine layouts that use the same panel format.
