Product Description:

The CSH02.5B-ET-EC-EC-NN-NN-NN-NW controller is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the CSH Advanced Controllers series. It serves as the processing core of IndraDrive installations, combining motion control, communication handling, and local I/O evaluation. Mounted directly on the drive stack, the unit coordinates axis positioning, synchronizes tasks across multiple drives, and reduces cabinet wiring by sharing the drive backplane. Its compact format supports application scaling across different machine layouts while maintaining the deterministic behavior needed for demanding industrial automation lines.

For analog motion references, the module supplies ±10 V swing, and the 2 analog outputs can be assigned to velocity or torque setpoints. Three differential analog inputs accommodate feedback loops, and the controller accepts 11 digital inputs for hard-wired limit switches or signal handshaking. All local signals draw from a field supply of 24 V, which isolates them from the DC bus. High-level coordination with supervisory controllers is handled through the Multi-Ethernet interface, which supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. Two probe inputs are also available for precise position latching during registration or print-mark detection tasks.

The unit couples to power section type HMU05, forming a compact drive stack. A bank of 5 configurable digital I/O lines covers auxiliary sensors or actuators, and the rear option bays accept up to 3 additional plug-in cards for machine-specific functions. Feedback wiring enters through a D-Sub 15-pin female connector that services the primary and secondary multi-encoder interfaces, allowing resolvers, SSI, or EnDat devices to connect directly. The controller requires FWA-INDRV*-MPx-19VRS or higher for supported operation. It has no integrated control panel. No integrated safety functions are included, so stop and monitoring tasks must be handled by external safety hardware or control logic.
