Product Description:

The BTV30.1CA-16R-50B-D-040200-FW is a machine control terminal manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. It is intended for CNC environments where export regulations apply, acting as the front-end panel that links operators with motion controllers and drives in automated machining cells. Its built-in display, keys, and storage resources allow program selection, parameter editing, and status monitoring without an external computer at the machine. The terminal supports direct interaction with process data, so routine operating tasks can be handled from the front panel during normal production.

The unit operates on a Pentium 166 MHz processor, giving sufficient computing power for real-time interpolation and user interface rendering. A 10.4" TFT color display, 640 × 480 pixels provides clear visualization of part programs and diagnostic messages, and the VGA resolution matches common PLC graphics libraries. To exchange small job files, the front panel includes a 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy drive that is already mounted. Permanent program storage relies on an internal hard disk with 500 MB minimum capacity, enough for tooling libraries and multiple NC projects. Environmental sealing on the operator side reaches IP 65, so coolant splash and airborne dust do not penetrate the display bezel, while the rear housing maintains IP20 for cabinet airflow. This arrangement allows the front of the unit to face the machine environment while the back remains suited to enclosed installation space.

Direct machine interaction is carried out through 8 keys located on the right side of the panel. These dedicated function buttons can be mapped to axis jog, cycle start, or custom macros to reduce dependence on on-screen navigation during repetitive tasks. The slide-in chassis measures 372 × 335 × 200 mm, permitting direct insertion into standard console cutouts and leaving space for cable bends behind the connector block. Despite the steel enclosure, the system weighs only 10.5 kg, which helps keep handling manageable during mounting. This hardware is identified as Version 1. The combination of local input controls, integrated storage, and panel-mounted construction makes the terminal suitable for fixed-machine HMI use in enclosed industrial stations.
