Product Description:

The IKB0053 is a pre-assembled bus cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the IKB Bus Cables series. Intended for industrial automation environments, it links a programming computer to a VCP human-machine interface. Within a control cabinet it is used during set-up and maintenance to transfer application firmware, adjust parameter sets, and collect diagnostic logs, providing a simple RS232 channel without requiring field wiring changes. Because the cable is supplied fully terminated, technicians can make a single connection between the controller and panel to start data exchange.

The cable provides data transfer labeled Download (PC-To-VCP), meaning information flows from the personal computer to the operator panel for program loading, parameter import, and firmware updates. Both cable ends use the INS0520/L01 connector shell containing a Male contact insert, so the assembly plugs directly into the female sockets fitted on standard service ports. The mechanical interface is a D-Sub 25 (Screw Lock), and the captive screws maintain contact integrity when panels are subject to machine vibration or door movement. Signal exchange follows RS232 rules, limiting swing to ±12 V and specifying single-ended lines to avoid ground-loop problems during commissioning runs.

All conductors are present, giving a full 25-pin mapping that preserves hardware handshaking, auxiliary diagnostics, and modem-control lines. Forwarding mode and loop-through operation are both Supported, allowing another terminal or analyzer to be daisy-chained without external splitters or custom wiring. Production, molding, and electrical testing are completed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat, so the finished cable can withstand repeated mating cycles without connector deformation or pin-out drift.
