Product Description:

The BTV30.1CA-32R-50B-D-010200-FW is a machine control terminal manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. Intended as the central operator panel on CNC systems subject to export restrictions, the unit combines display, data entry, and processing resources so the machine can be run and axis status can be monitored directly at the control. As a self-contained front panel device, it supports routine operation, program handling, and manual intervention within milling, turning, or forming cells. Its Version 1 hardware matches the 30 series format used across many Indramat automation platforms.

The electronic core is built around a Pentium 166 MHz processor that runs the BOF runtime layer and coordinates screen refresh. Visual output appears on a 10.4" TFT color display with a 640 × 480 pixel matrix, so parameter lists, alarms, and operating graphics remain easy to read. Working memory totals 32 MB RAM, which supports the operating kernel and active NC buffers during operation. For removable storage, the panel includes a 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy drive, while permanent program and diagnostic data are stored on a minimum 500 MB hard disk. An American English keyboard layout supports BOF menus and multilingual user interfaces.

The physical design balances front-side sealing with rear ventilation. The aluminum front achieves a sealed rating of IP 65, allowing installation in areas exposed to coolant splash, while the rear housing uses IP 20 ventilation for cabinet airflow. For direct machine interaction, the right-hand bezel has 8 machine function keys that can be assigned to cycle start, feed hold, or axis selection. The electronics slide into a frame measuring 372 × 335 × 200 mm, which allows the assembly to be removed from its mounting space without a large enclosure opening. The fully equipped unit weighs 10.5 kg, keeping the load moderate for panel supports or swing arms.
