Product Description:

The BTV30.2SA-28R-45C-D-FW is a machine control terminal produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the BTV30 Machine Control Terminals series. It is intended for SPS installations, where it provides centralized visualization, data entry, and basic motion commands for automated machinery. By integrating the display, processor, and operator keys into a single housing, the unit reduces cabinet wiring and provides a standardized interface between the controller and plant equipment. This arrangement keeps operating screens and manual inputs available directly at the machine.

The operator sees process data on a 10.4-inch TFT display, and its 640 × 480 pixel resolution provides enough detail for diagnostic menus and axis status screens without external monitors. A Pentium 200 MHz Slot CPU with integrated graphics executes the user program and graphical pages, so screen refresh and keypad scanning occur without noticeable delay. For local data storage, the panel includes a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB disk drive, allowing boot disks or recipe files to be exchanged through standard floppy media. Power is derived from the plant supply, and the electronics accept AC 115–230 V at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, eliminating the need for separate transformers. During washdown or coolant splash, the unit uses an IP65-rated front panel, while the rear remains IP20 to promote cabinet ventilation. Despite its integrated components, the assembly weighs only 10.5 kg, which helps simplify mounting on a swing arm or cabinet door.

Eight dedicated motion and auxiliary commands are issued through the right-side keypad, and the presence of 8 function keys enables direct machine actions without navigating touch menus. The terminal slides into a compact subrack that measures 372 × 335 × 200 mm, leaving additional depth for wiring bends and airflow inside the enclosure. All alphanumeric input is entered with an American keyboard layout, which simplifies use in facilities that already follow U.S. key markings. Physical keys also support consistent input in environments where glare or contamination can make screen-based interaction less practical.
