Product Description:

The CLM 01.3-W-0-1-0 axis positioning control module from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is part of the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. As an Indramat position control unit, it issues motion commands to servo drives and reads encoder feedback so that machine axes reach programmed positions during industrial automation cycles. It is intended for positioning applications that require repeatable motion and consistent supervision of axis movement during operation.

Its electronics are energized by a control voltage of 24 Vdc, and each encoder interface allows up to 200 mA for reliable signal processing. Separate 24 Vdc rails deliver 50 mA to incremental encoders and 400 mA to absolute models, keeping sensor channels isolated. Command and diagnostic data move over a multi-protocol RS-232/422/485 serial port that links the controller with higher-level PLCs or host PCs. A 32-bit microprocessor executes motion programs held in 128 KB of RAM and a non-volatile 256 KB EPROM. Operators adjust parameters through a 20-key membrane keypad and a four-line, 16-character LCD, while convection cooling removes heat without fans. The local interface also allows status review directly at the module, which supports routine operation without requiring a separate display device.

The metal enclosure is 325 mm deep, 390 mm high, and 105 mm wide, allowing it to mount alongside Indramat drives inside standard cabinets. With a mass of only 6 kg, the module adds little load to the mounting structure and suits typical cabinet layouts. An IP10 protection rating suits clean control enclosures, keeping the front keypad and display accessible while restricting dust intrusion. The open vertical airflow path created by these dimensions supports the convection scheme, letting warm air exit through the chassis fins during continuous positioning tasks.
