Product Description:

The BTV30.1CA-32R-50B-D-120200-FW machine control terminal is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. It serves as a human-machine interface for CNC installations, combining display, computation, and operator inputs so drive controllers and PLCs can be commanded at the workstation. The unit is intended for numerically controlled cutting, forming, or machining centers where program execution and status feedback must remain visible. Its slide-in construction allows it to mount in a cabinet front panel while the electronics remain inside the enclosure.

At the core of the terminal is a Pentium 166 MHz processor that handles interface tasks and control-related functions without the need for an external PC. Visual output is provided by a 10.4-inch TFT color display with 640 × 480 pixels, which is suitable for part programs, tool data, and diagnostic messages. Operating code and buffers reside in 32 MB of RAM, and communication with drives and I/O passes through the integrated rear bus connectors. To withstand coolant splash and airborne dust, the enclosure has front panel IP 65 and housing IP 20 protection, so the operator face can be cleaned while the internal electronics remain in a ventilated cabinet.

The terminal is fitted with a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB floppy drive for program transfer and backup, while an internal hard drive with at least 500 MB of capacity stores system software and larger user files. A group of 8 keys is positioned on the right, and each key can be assigned to functions such as axis homing, coolant control, or other machine commands. The slide-in module measures 372 × 335 × 200 mm and weighs 10.5 kg, which supports secure front-panel installation in compatible cabinets. An American keyboard layout is included, and the unit is identified as Version 1.
