Product Description:

The CSH01.1C-PL-EN1-NNN-MD1-NN-S-NN-FW is a motion and logic controller card manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the CSH Advanced Controllers series. Designed as a plug-in unit for IndraDrive power sections, the module supplies axis control, trajectory generation, and coordinated task scheduling to conveyors, pick-and-place gantries, and forming lines. By integrating feedback processing, field signal handling, and onboard diagnostics in one package, it streamlines cabinet layouts and shortens installation time in distributed automation cells.

The communication backbone is a Parallel Interface that exchanges 16 input and 16 output bits with a host PLC each cycle, eliminating protocol latency in high-speed motion loops. Local status codes appear on a front-mounted single-line display, so alarms can be reviewed without external tools. Feedback from MKD, MKE, or MHD motors enters through the dual-mode Resolver / HSF port, allowing either analog or high-speed digital encoders on the same hardware. The transceiver that conditions these signals draws only 6 W and supplies the sensor with a regulated 8 V source, minimizing heat inside compact drive cabinets. The independent parallel I/O block consumes 1 W, preserving the 24 V power budget for additional modules.

Machine-level commands reach the MD1 extension, which offers Digital I/O on a rugged 25-pin D-Sub connector. Twelve opto-isolated inputs are rated at 24 V / 3 mA, while eight high-side transistor outputs can switch loads up to 24 V / 0.5 A for contactors or signal lamps. Service access is available through an RS-232 port that supports cable runs of up to 15 m, maintaining a reliable connection even when drives are mounted in remote cabinets. Separate supply paths for the I/O and encoder sections help prevent voltage dips on shared rails.
