Product Description:

The BTV30.1PA-08R-50B-D-000000-FW is a machine control terminal from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. It combines PC-based computing with an operator panel so it can supervise motion sequences, display real-time process data, and send commands to drives and PLCs. In automated cells, it serves as the human-machine interface, linking sensors and actuators through onboard electronics while presenting equipment status on its integrated display. This arrangement lets one unit handle both local operator interaction and basic industrial PC duties at the machine.

The control logic runs on a Pentium 166 MHz processor, providing enough throughput for visualization and data logging tasks. Operator feedback appears on a 10.4-inch TFT color display with 640 × 480 pixels, which presents text and graphics at VGA resolution. A 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB floppy drive provides removable storage, and the internal mass memory is listed at min. 500 MB for the operating system and application files. The right side includes 8 machine function keys that can be assigned to actions such as cycle start, feed hold, or tool change. This gives operators direct tactile access to frequently used commands without moving through additional software screens.

The enclosure uses a front panel rated IP65 and housing rated IP20, which allows the bezel to tolerate washdown while the rear section remains suited to cabinet installation. The slide-in chassis measures 372 × 335 × 200 mm, fitting standard rack openings and shallow enclosures. An American (US) keyboard layout is used so entries match common control prompts, and the unit weighs 10.5 kg for manageable panel handling. The enclosure arrangement separates the user-facing area from the cabinet side, which suits installations that combine direct machine access with protected electrical mounting.
