Product Description:

The BTV20.2CA-28B-10D-D-FW operator unit is a machine control panel produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the BTV20 Machine Operator Panels series. As a member of the BTV Panel family, it combines a display, keyboard, and device interfaces so an automation controller can be managed from a single front end. In factory installations, the panel serves as the human-machine interface that initiates, monitors, and adjusts motion sequences, making it integral to machining centers, transfer lines, and other automated workstations where compact local control is required.

The panel is powered from a 24 V DC supply, allowing it to be wired directly to the low-voltage control circuit normally present in electrical cabinets. Its embedded electronics include 128 MB of RAM, giving the visualization runtime enough memory to load operator dialogs and diagnostic logs without delays. A bank of 16 machine function keys is arranged beside the screen so frequently used commands can be executed with a single keystroke. For removable media, the unit carries a mounted 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB disk drive, enabling software updates or recipe transfers with standard floppy disks. Bosch Rexroth specifies a base system requirement of a minimum of 1 GB and 200 MHz on the connected PC or NC so the programming tools can run properly.

This particular panel is identified as Design 2, a mechanical variant that affects enclosure depth and connector layout while maintaining electrical compatibility with earlier revisions. Its panel function type is MTC, meaning it can perform master terminal control duties in cell-level architectures and pass operator inputs to the drive network. The keypad area follows a standard layout, which helps keep operation familiar for users of earlier BTV models. Wake Industrial offers a one year warranty on this BTV machine operator panel.
