Product Description:

The CLM01.4-LAP-04VRS-MS is an axis positioning control module built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. Classified as an Indramat position control unit, it sits between servo drives and a plant-level controller to coordinate motion sequences. By evaluating encoder feedback and issuing precise setpoints, it helps packaging lines, material-handling cells, and assembly equipment hold target positions, synchronize axes, and cut products to length with repeatable accuracy.

Its signal front end provides 4 ch, ±10 V, 12-bit differential analog inputs plus four ±10 V, 14-bit analog outputs, so external sensors and drives can exchange real-time values without added scaling hardware. The controller governs 4 independent axes and runs from a 24 V DC ±20% logic supply that isolates the control electronics from mains potential. A deterministic loop of 4 ms sets the processing interval for position, velocity, and I/O tasks, while incremental encoder edges are sampled at up to 1 MHz to preserve resolution at high conveyor speeds. Profibus is available for cell-level communication, and a selectable RS232C or RS485 port supports local setup. The unit also provides 24 system inputs, 18 system outputs, 88 user inputs, and 51 user outputs for machine-side signals, allowing standalone interlocks and sequence steps.

The controller stores up to 3000 instructions, and subroutines can be nested to a depth of 127 for modular positioning programs. The unit is Design Version 4 in Line 01, which maintains compatibility with earlier drives while adding extended diagnostics. Cabinet planning is simplified by the compact footprint of 330 × 105 × 390 mm, and the enclosure has an IP20 rating, so it must be installed inside a protected panel. The module combines program execution, motion control, and discrete I/O handling in one device, which reduces external wiring and preserves deterministic response within the controller cycle.
