Product Description:

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat BTV15.2CA-28B-32D-N-FW belongs to the BTV15 Visualization Terminals series and functions as an operator terminal for machine tools and automated production lines. It integrates an embedded computer, membrane keys, and a flat-panel display so line operators can issue commands, select recipes, read status messages, and navigate machine menus without opening the control cabinet. By combining visualization and limited auxiliary power outputs, the device streamlines routine system interaction and reduces the need for separate PCs or conventional indicator panels.

Graphical information is shown on a 640 × 480 px DSTN color panel that measures 8.2 in diagonally, giving enough area for parameter lists, status pages, and alarm windows. The backlight is rated for 20,000 hours, supporting multi-shift operation before service is required. Eight writable machine function keys allow direct assignment of frequently used commands, while a 10 Base-T Ethernet port links the terminal to supervisory networks. Inside, a 5x86 266 MHz processor works with 128 MB of working memory to refresh the screen and execute visualization software stored on a 3 GB hard disk. Peripheral devices can draw up to 100 mA from the terminal’s 24 V output, and the electronics remain within operating limits at ambient temperatures up to +45 °C. The unit draws a maximum of 50 VA from the cabinet power supply.

All components are powered from a 24 VDC nominal voltage, and worst-case internal losses are limited to 40 W, a value used when sizing panel cooling. The aluminum front meets IP65, so washdown spray or airborne dust does not impair the keypad or screen, while the rear housing remains at IP20, matching typical enclosure interiors. Heat-dissipating fins and the low-energy processor allow the terminal to operate continuously without forced air, which is useful in compact control cabinets where airflow is limited.
