Product Description:

The CLM 01.3-M-0-1-0 is an Indramat position controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. It supervises one mechanical axis, interpreting program inputs and encoder feedback to issue incremental or absolute motion commands to a connected drive. By housing its own logic, memory, and operator display, the unit reduces PLC load and allows standalone positioning tasks in packaging, material-handling, or forming equipment. That arrangement lets the controller manage positioning sequences directly instead of relying on constant intervention from a higher-level control system.

This controller operates from a stabilized 24 Vdc supply and communicates with supervisory systems through an RS-232/422/485 port. Data exchange can be clocked up to 19200 baud, which supports recipe transfers and status polling. Application code and machine parameters reside in 128K RAM, while backup data is retained in a 256K EPROM so stored settings are preserved after power is removed. A standard LCD panel presents menu-driven diagnostics, and the remote keypad can be placed up to two meters away for more flexible panel layout. This local interface allows status messages and stored parameters to be viewed without a separate display module.

The signal layer provides 32 inputs and 32 outputs for limit switches, sensors, and solenoids, reducing the need for extra interface hardware. Motion calculations are handled by a Motorola 68000 processor, and its 16-bit architecture works with the installed memory resources. Direct access to onboard I/O helps the module coordinate simple machine devices without a separate interface layer. The housing has an IP10 protection rating for use inside a closed electrical cabinet, and the assembly weighs 6 kg. Its dimensions of 390 mm in height, 105 mm in width, and 325 mm in depth keep the module compact for single-axis control panels.
