Product Description:

The BTV30.2PA-28R-45C-D-FW is a machine control terminal from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. Acting as the central human-machine interface on CNC and PLC workcells, it integrates computing, visualization, and hard-key input so users can load programs, diagnose faults, and modify process parameters without a separate PC. Its slide-in construction allows the terminal to fit directly into control cabinets, giving production equipment a compact operator station that withstands shop-floor contamination and vibration.

The display hardware is a 10.4-inch TFT color display with 640 × 480 pixels, which provides VGA resolution for status pages, axis positions, and alarm dialogs. Processing is handled by a Pentium 200 MHz slot CPU with integrated graphics, and this clock rate supports screen refresh and background control tasks typical of late-1990s motion systems. Power is supplied by AC 115 to 230 V at 50 to 60 Hz, allowing the same unit to operate on European or North American mains without a transformer. The enclosure has a rating of front panel IP65 and housing IP20, so the operator side resists washdown exposure while the cabinet side remains suitable for enclosed installation. Its chassis measures 372 × 335 × 200 mm, which determines panel cutout size and depth clearance inside the cabinet.

A 3.5-inch 1.44 MB disk drive allows loading of part programs from legacy media. Data entry uses the American keyboard layout specified for BOF/MUI, which supports familiar key placement for U.S. installations. For rapid cycle selection or axis jog commands, the terminal includes 8 machine function keys along the right edge, and each key can be addressed by the control software. Despite its steel chassis and integrated electronics, the unit weighs 10.5 kg, which keeps handling manageable during installation or service work.
