Product Description:

The BTV20.2CA-64B-10C-D-130500-FW is an operator panel manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the BTV20 Machine Operator Panels series. In an automation cell, this unit presents machine status and accepts commands through a fixed keypad, letting the control system execute motion or process steps without a conventional PC front end. It is intended for local operation on machining centers and production lines, where operators need a dedicated panel for menu navigation, alarm review, and command entry. Because the interface is built into the panel itself, routine control tasks can be handled directly at the machine.

The electronics on this panel require at least 1 GB of mass storage capacity and a processor speed of 200 MHz, giving the internal software enough room and speed to handle operator dialogs and diagnostic screens. Direct machine actuation is handled with 16 machine function keys, and each key can be mapped to programmable PLC events. Power is supplied from facility mains in a range of AC 115 to 230 V. The onboard supply operates at the standard industrial frequency range of 50 to 60 Hz, which supports common power systems in North America and Europe. This wide input range allows the same panel to be used in equipment built for different regional power sources.

Runtime memory is fixed at 64 MB, which is enough for language files, motion libraries, and the real-time buffers used by the panel software. For removable media, a 3.5-inch floppy drive with a capacity of 1.44 MB is mounted behind the front door, so parameter sets or log files can be handled without opening the cabinet. The front door also helps protect the media bay during normal machine operation. The panel function is classified as MTC, which suits machine-tool control tasks that require deterministic key scanning and clear alarm display. Complementary features include a standard keyboard layout, the product line 20 identifier, and a design value of 2.
