Product Description:

The BTV30.2EA-28R-11C-D-FW belongs to the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is a machine control terminal that serves as the operator interface on CNC installations, combining visualization, data entry, and axis control in a single front-panel unit. Within an automation cell, the terminal connects to the drive and PLC infrastructure, allowing operators to run part programs, monitor process variables, and issue manual commands directly at the machine. The integrated format keeps display and input functions in one location, which helps support direct machine interaction during setup and production. It also reduces the need for separate interface hardware on the machine door.

The operator interacts through a 10.4-inch TFT 640 × 480 display that presents status screens and graphic part contours. Program files and backups can be loaded through the integrated 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB disk drive. Motion and logic processing are handled by a Pentium 200 MHz CPU mounted on a slot card that also provides on-board graphics, eliminating the need for external video hardware. The electronics are powered from a single-phase mains supply rated at AC 115 to 230 V, 50 to 60 Hz, permitting installation in regions with differing utility voltages. For shop-floor use, the unit has a front panel with an IP65 rating, so the membrane keyboard and display are protected from coolant splash and airborne particulates during machining. This layout allows the terminal to present operating data and user input functions from one self-contained platform.

An array of 8 function keys is positioned on the right edge to trigger machine-specific cycles without navigating software menus, complementing the U.S.-layout alphanumeric keyboard. The dedicated key bank can be assigned to recurring machine actions so frequently used commands remain easy to access. The electronics, cooling path, and wiring are contained within a slide-in chassis measuring 372 × 335 × 200 mm. This size lets the unit fit standard operator consoles while leaving space for I/O modules behind it, and the slide-in format supports installation in enclosed machine panels. The terminal weighs 10.5 kg, so it can be removed without disturbing surrounding panels. The unit is Version 2.
