Product Description:

The BTV20.2EA-28B-10C-D-FW operator panel is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the BTV20 Machine Operator Panels series. It is part of the BTV Panel family and product line 20, where it serves as the front end for CNC or PLC stations. The panel allows machine commands to be entered and status information to be monitored directly at the equipment. By combining computing hardware and field wiring in one enclosure, it helps reduce separate component installation in production cells and transfer lines. This arrangement keeps operator access close to the machine process, which supports quick response to alarms and changing machine states.

The panel runs on an input supply of AC 115 to 230 V and tolerates mains frequencies between 50 to 60 Hz, so it can be connected to standard plant power without additional converters. Internally, the base computer provides at least 1 GB of storage and a processor clock of no less than 200 MHz, which supports embedded visualization and diagnostic tasks. An installed memory module provides 128 MB RAM, allowing the operating system to cache active process variables and keypad events. Design code 2 identifies the second mechanical revision, and its mounting points match earlier BTV panels. The standard keyboard layout supports familiar alphanumeric entry for parameter adjustment and general input tasks.

Sixteen dedicated keys are arranged as 16 Machine function keys, and each key can be mapped to motion sequences or tool calls in the controller. For removable media, the front door includes a 3.5-inch 1.44 MB disk drive, which is useful for recipe or NC program transfers when network access is limited. The panel uses the MTA export version function, indicating compliance with export control requirements and multilingual overlays. This layout supports local machine interaction without requiring a separate external operator station.
