Product Description

Rexroth Bosch Indramat, in a statement of relevance within the big leagues of industrial automation, designed and released the BTV30 product line of sophisticated machine control terminals. These MCTs are very operable, with almost full-PC capabilities and significant display options.

The CFG-BTV30.2P-TM-TC-NN-NN-NN-NN-NN-NN-NN being a variant of this product group (as shown in its type code) has all the extended capabilities they generally offer, along with the special features of its own integrated modules. Every BTV30 terminal is configurable to an extent, based on its function type and intended applications. This configuration is specified with the PC function type, which is inferred from its ‘2P’ code; this implies it is more like an industrial version of a personal computer. For the extra functionalities, it comes without the MTS-P and MTC-P specifications but with interfacing options. The ‘TM’ suggests that it has an interface for machine function keys (8-machine keys), and that the s2 slot is used for installing an additional module or plug-in. Here, the additional module installed is a keyboard interface. This keyboard has all the regular ASCII characters in the standard American layout.

The rest of the customizable slots are left un-installed, as indicated by the ‘NN’ type code that designates those sections. In terms of processing and display requirements, this terminal comes with a standard 300-400MHz clock intel processor (Pentium) with integrated graphics controller. It features a TFT colour display of 10.4 inches, 262k distinct colours, and a resolution of 640×480 pixels. The RAM, being an important factor in real-time processing, is installed within the 64Mb-124Mb storage capacity. This ensures all current and scheduled processes are kept in memory. Also, it features a 3GB+ hard disk drive for data storage and a front panel IP65 protection against dust and water ingress.
