Product Description:

The CLM01.4-LAP-01VRS-MS is a motion-control module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and assigned to the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. As an Indramat position control unit, it coordinates servo drives in automated machinery, letting a PLC offload interpolation and stop management to the dedicated hardware. The housing slides into a modular rack beside drives, giving deterministic axis control without additional host processing.

This module draws its logic and I/O power from a dedicated bus at 24 V, eliminating the need for a step-down supply. It supervises 4 motion axes, so one card can cover a typical pick-and-place gantry or multi-head press. The on-board memory stores up to 3000 instructions, allowing sizable positioning sequences to be executed locally. Internal dissipation is rated at 45 W, so cabinet airflow must remove that heat during continuous duty. A unipolar analog reference of +10 V at 4 mA is available on X3 for velocity or torque commands to analog drives. Brake releases are staggered by 200 ms, a delay that helps prevent mechanical shock when multiple axes share a common load platform. The card also supports three selectable operating modes, and its drive-enable output is limited to 10 mA, protecting downstream opto-isolators.

Operating temperature depends on the available cooling method. With forced cabinet ventilation it remains functional up to 55 °C, while natural convection reduces the limit to 45 °C; the minimum start temperature is 5 °C. A protection rating of IP 20 indicates protection against finger contact, so the unit must stay inside an enclosed panel. To reach the higher temperature limit, cooling air across the heat sink must reach 3 m/s, matching common fan-tray outputs. Ready-contact loads of 250 mA at 24 V and auxiliary X5 loads of 300 mA are included in the airflow calculation, allowing the three operating modes to run without thermal derating.
