Product Description:

The BTV30.1CA-16R-50B-D-120200-FW is a machine control terminal manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. Intended for integrated CNC installations, it serves as the operator station that combines visualization, data storage, and manual command entry in one housing. By linking to axis drives and PLC inputs, the unit allows programming, monitoring, and adjustment of machining sequences directly at the production cell, so machine status and process changes can be handled from the front of the cabinet. This layout lets one terminal handle both screen-based supervision and direct operator input at the machine. As Version 1 of the Series 30 hardware, it is the baseline configuration for export-controlled metal-cutting centers and related machine tools.

A Pentium 166 MHz processor executes motion algorithms, HMI tasks, and fieldbus communication without noticeable lag during normal operation. Status data appears on a 10.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels, which keeps menus, alarms, and path information readable during operation. For removable media support, the front includes a 3.5-inch 1.44 MB disk drive, and a minimum 500 MB hard drive stores the operating system, machine data, and part programs. This arrangement supports local program handling without requiring a separate external computer for routine use. The built-in American keyboard layout supports direct G-code entry, parameter changes, and routine operator input.

The front panel has an IP65 rating, while the internal electronics are enclosed to IP20 inside the cabinet side of the unit. The slide-in module measures 372 × 335 × 200 mm and has a mass of 10.5 kg, which helps keep mounting space and panel loading predictable in CNC cabinets. Operators have access to 8 dedicated function keys for frequently used commands such as jogging, mode changes, and override adjustments. These keys place common actions near the display so input does not have to rely only on the main keyboard. Its CNC capability is subject to export restrictions, so deployment outside approved regions requires authorization.
