Product Description:

The CSH01.1C-PL-EN2-NNN-MD2-NN-S-NN-FW module is a motion and I/O controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the CSH Advanced Controllers series. It coordinates axis drives and peripheral sensors in multi-axis automation, providing real-time logic, encoder evaluation, and field communication from a compact plug-in format. By integrating position feedback processing with configurable outputs, the unit serves as the control core for packaging machines, handling systems, and assembly cells that demand deterministic cycle times. This arrangement lets one controller manage both motion sequencing and machine I/O, which helps keep response times consistent during repeated cycles. Because the controller combines logic handling with encoder processing, it can reduce the need for separate interface modules in machines that use tightly timed axis coordination.

During continuous operation, the controller’s internal electronics draw 7.5 W of base power, which helps limit heat inside the cabinet. When line power is applied, the supply can expect an inrush of 4 A, and that surge is limited to a maximum pulse width of 100 ms, so standard 24 V control supplies remain within normal operating range. The housing measures 241 × 103 × 49.5 mm, allowing dense mounting beside compatible drive components without taking excessive rail space. For actuator control, the unit offers a configurable output stage rated at 0.5 A, enabling direct operation of small solenoids or indicator lamps without external relays. The compact format also makes it easier to group motion control, I/O handling, and power devices within the same enclosure section.

For analog reference generation, a single channel supplies 5 V, which can be used for potentiometer feedback or sensor excitation. Command data from higher-level PLCs reaches the board over a Parallel Interface, supporting direct byte-wide transfers without serial framing delays. Additional option cards connect through a 44-Pin D-Sub HD header, which also provides access to the digital I/O resources and the RJ12 connection for the SSI auxiliary encoder line. Fast-moving measurement tasks benefit from a probe response time of 1 µs, allowing the motion kernel to capture positional events between successive drive sampling intervals. The combination of analog support, parallel data exchange, and fast probe capture suits applications that need precise synchronization between motion commands and external signals.
