Product Description:

The CLM1.3-LA1-06VRS module is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the CLM Axis Positioning Control Modules series. It functions as an Indramat position control unit that coordinates two motion axes in packaging, printing, or material-handling equipment. The module issues position commands to connected drives and monitors feedback from incremental or absolute encoders to maintain repeatable travel profiles. A front-mounted operator panel with a multiline display and dedicated keypad allows on-machine parameter entry, while the integrated serial interface links the controller to higher-level supervisory systems for recipe transfer and diagnostics.

The control electronics run from a supply of 24 Vdc, and the internal circuitry draws only 10 mA @ 24 Vdc through the logic input, so cabinet power budgets stay low. Up to 24 auxiliary inputs and 19 auxiliary outputs supplement the predefined sets of 24 inputs and 18 outputs, giving discrete connection points for limit switches, solenoids, or status lamps. The front panel presents a 4 x 16 chars vacuum-fluorescent display, and operators select functions with 20 membrane keys. Serial communication is handled over RS-232/422/485 ports, while each incremental encoder channel may draw 50 mA and the absolute encoder interface will source 400 mA without exceeding the designated 50 mA @ 24 Vdc output limit for field devices.

Application logic is stored in a non-volatile EPROM bank of 256K, so configurations survive power loss. During execution, parameters reside in a fast RAM section of 128K, letting the controller refresh axis positions and I/O images without delays. Up to 3000 program blocks can be created under the Standard Two Axis software, allowing complex indexing, dwell, and camming sequences that run independently of the supervisory PLC. The module’s software type ensures coordinated motion for two axes while dedicated current sources protect connected absolute encoders without exceeding system power budgets.
