Product Description:

The CLM 01.3-X-E-4-0 is an axis positioning control module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. It coordinates up to four servo axes in packaging, printing, or cutting machines by generating precise feed commands and evaluating encoder signals. A built-in liquid-crystal display and an alphanumeric keypad let operators enter job parameters, start sequences, and view process status directly from the cabinet door. This local interface supports routine machine interaction without requiring a separate computer for basic setup and status review.

Electrical and I/O capacities support interface with sensors, valves, and external logic. Auxiliary inputs can accept switching signals referenced to 24 Vdc @ 10 mA, while actuators such as relays or pneumatic coils are driven from outputs rated at 24 Vdc @ 50 mA max. The controller provides 88 discrete inputs and 51 discrete outputs, enabling sequence control without an external PLC. For cut-to-length tasks, motion commands rely on a feed-length resolution of 0.001 in (0.01 mm). The enclosure dimensions help the module fit shallow panels, and an expansion I/O board can be added when additional field connections are needed.

The front-mounted standard LCD is organized in a matrix of 4 lines × 16 chars, so cycle counts, axis positions, and diagnostic codes remain visible at a glance. Navigation is handled by a keypad with 20 tactile keys that issue jog, teach, and numeric entry commands without connecting a laptop. Each axis accepts feedback from one incremental or absolute encoder, which allows compatibility with different motion systems used in existing equipment. A protection rating of IP10 indicates that only basic finger protection is provided, so the unit must be housed inside a sealed cabinet. Despite its steel enclosure, overall mass is limited to 14 lb (6 kg), which supports door mounting and helps reduce strain on cabinet hinges.
