Product Description:

The BTM15.2-TA-VA-TA-BA-NA-2EA is a modular user panel manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the BTM15 Machine Operator Panels series. It serves as the human-machine link on automated lines, allowing operators to trigger machine functions and view status indications directly at the workstation. By integrating labeled short-stroke keys and indicator LEDs, the panel combines local control and feedback in a compact housing intended for front-panel mounting on enclosures or consoles.

At the hardware level, the panel uses Design Index 2 and follows the compact module design A layout. Its electronic section communicates with the higher-level controller through INTERBUS-S, while discrete signals are handled by an integrated I/O set with 16 inputs and 16 outputs. The module uses preset mapping for slots 2 through 4 in the BTM rack, which helps organize back-plane resources without extra interface modules. Physical size is limited to 407 × 169 × 100 mm, so the device can be recessed into standard cabinet cutouts without blocking nearby equipment. Operator interaction is handled through labelable short-stroke pushbuttons whose built-in LEDs show machine states, and the sealed metal bezel has an IP65 rating that protects the active face against dust and water jets during washdowns.

Behind the bezel, the remaining enclosure is classified as IP00, so the unit must be installed inside a protected control cabinet. When supplied as an Emergency-stop module, one of its keys can interrupt machine power through the safety circuit used by the control system. The assembly belongs to Series Line 15, allowing mechanical and electrical compatibility with other units on the same back-plane bus. Overall mass is 2 kg, which helps reduce loading on swinging doors or articulated support arms. The light-gray finish in RAL 7035 matches common cabinet colors, and the labelable keys allow function markings to be updated when operating needs change.
