Product Description:

The CSH01.1C-S3-NNN-NNN-MD2-NN-S-NN-FW belongs to the CSH Advanced Controllers series from Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Classified as a motion and logic controller, it supervises coordinated drive operation, gathers status feedback, and forwards commands to the servo amplifiers installed on the machine. Within an automation cell it occupies the central control slot, handling deterministic network traffic while allowing the surrounding drives and sensors to exchange data with higher-level plant systems. It is used in multi-axis packaging, material-handling, and machining applications.

Fieldbus exchange with decentralized drives is carried out by the built-in SERCOS III master, which is available on the X22 and X23 connectors. Both sockets use an 8-pin RJ45 port for quick Cat-5 patching. The controller accepts 16 digital inputs and supplies each channel with a sensing current of 3 mA. Command signals are issued through 16 digital outputs; every output can source up to 0.5 A to drive contactors or optical isolators. For process measurement the board offers a 5 V analog output channel rated at 1 mA, so low-power transducers can be excited directly. All discrete and analog conductors may be routed up to 10 m from the cabinet without degrading signal integrity.

Network integration on the plant LAN is possible through the Ethernet interface that conforms to IEEE 802.3. Position feedback from absolute encoders is accepted via the SSI channel, and its dedicated cable run is limited to 1.5 m to maintain timing accuracy. The unit includes a relay output that can switch DC loads up to 1 A at 24 V DC, providing an isolated path for drive enable or fault signaling. For maintenance laptops and legacy PLCs a full-duplex RS232 serial port is available. The separate interfaces support motion control, supervisory networking, and service access on one controller.
