Product Description:

The BTV20.3PA-28B-33C-S-FW operator panel is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the BTV20 Machine Operator Panels series. It serves as a combined display, keyboard, and control station that links human input to CNC or PLC hardware in automated lines. By embedding PC-class electronics behind a sealed front bezel, the panel provides an industrial interface capable of launching visualization software, issuing motion commands, displaying machine status in real time, and supporting routine operator interaction from one front-mounted station.

This panel uses a hardware platform with a minimum 3 GB HDD for local file storage and a 300 MHz processor for visualization tasks. Working memory is factory-installed at 128 MB, which is sufficient for the dedicated operating environment and application tasks. The power section accepts AC 115 to 230 V, 50 to 60 Hz, so it can be wired directly to typical control cabinet supplies without external transformers. As an IPC, the unit integrates the CPU, power supply, and communication ports within the same housing, which helps reduce panel depth. For direct machine interaction, it offers 16 machine function keys that trigger preset actions without navigating on-screen menus.

Application files can be transferred through a Smart Card interface, eliminating moving storage media in vibration-prone environments. The mechanical layout follows Design 3, keeping cutouts and mounting holes consistent with earlier BTV fronts. A standard keyboard with numeric block is integrated for text entry, and the molded BTV Panel emblem together with the internal classification Product line 20 help identify the unit within the series. This arrangement supports routine data entry and screen navigation without a separate external console.
