Product Description:

The BTV20.3AA-28B-44C-D-FW operator panel is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the BTV20 Machine Operator Panels series. Designed as a human-machine interface, the unit supplies push-button and soft-key access to drive, PLC, and motion functions inside automated manufacturing cells. It combines visual feedback, programmable keys, and I/O handling so an operator can initiate machine cycles, acknowledge alarms, and adjust process parameters directly from the cabinet door. Because command entry and status display are integrated in one front-mounted unit, routine machine interaction can be handled without a separate desktop terminal.

Model design code 3 indicates the third hardware revision. The panel accepts an input supply of AC 115 to 230 V, 50 to 60 Hz, allowing installation in North American and European control cabinets without an external transformer. For operator commands, it carries 16 machine function keys, and each key sends a discrete signal to the controller for fast mode changes. The front keyboard operates in matrix-decoded form, as indicated by panel function type MTA. Local data storage is handled by a disk drive 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB, which can hold recipe files, operating data, and diagnostic logs. This layout supports direct local interaction when the machine requires quick input changes or alarm acknowledgment at the panel.

The unit is supplied with a standard keyboard layout, which keeps alphanumeric entry familiar for users who have worked with earlier BTV stations. It forms part of the BTV Panel product family and sits in product line 20, which sets the enclosure dimensions and connector orientation used across related displays. The unit requires firmware ordered as a separate subposition. This allows the software package to be selected for the intended machine application.
