Product Description:

The IKL0264 cable is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied as part of the IKL Control Cables series for in-cabinet power backup wiring. It links a battery module to Indramat controller racks, providing low-impedance power retention so parameter memory and real-time clocks stay active during a power interruption. Within a motion-control installation, it routes DC from the external accumulator to the drive interface and helps prevent uncontrolled shutdown. It is used where stored controller data must remain available even when input power drops unexpectedly.

This cable is intended for use with an external battery pack, so the cells remain outside the drive housing. Its mating end is keyed for display terminals model BTV 16/40/60, allowing direct power and status wiring to those operator panels. Because the conductor bundle is unshielded, it is best routed with low-noise DC wiring and kept separate from high-frequency lines. The molded plug belongs to the Tyco/AMP MATE-N-LOK family, which provides secure retention and standardized crimp contacts. To limit voltage drop on longer runs, the copper cores use a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm². This arrangement also keeps the battery away from heat-generating electronics inside the controller enclosure.

Within the control cabinet, the IKL0264 is identified by drive interface X19, and that port marking supports quick connection to compatible Indramat power supplies. The harness is classified as a connection cable, so it contains no active components and attention is limited to continuity and pin integrity. A built-in diode network provides reverse-voltage protection, so accidental polarity inversion at the battery cannot reach the controller. The compact 2-pole layout carries only the positive and negative rails, reducing connector footprint while supplying the current needed to keep memory circuits energized until line power returns. This simple arrangement suits backup circuits that only need a stable DC path.
