Product Description:

The MTC-P01.2-E2-A2-NN-NN-FW is a plug-in CNC control module developed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MTC200 CNC Modules series. Installed in an industrial PC, the card supplies the motion-control core that sequences and interpolates multiple servo axes in automated machine tools or production cells. By combining axis expansion slots with onboard drive links, it creates a compact interface between the host computer and distributed drive amplifiers. Because axis coordination occurs on the module, contour changes and synchronized moves can be processed without placing the full timing burden on the host PC.

Communication between the host processor and the axis electronics is handled over the PC/104 bus, so dedicated I/O can be stacked without additional cabling. The card uses the ISA plug-in card mechanical format, allowing direct insertion into legacy backplanes while keeping signal paths short. A built-in coprocessor offloads interpolation tasks from the main CPU, and the local memory pool is 2 MB RAM, which can buffer part programs and real-time parameter tables. One axis module is fitted at the factory, yet the design supports up to 3 axis modules, each able to command its own position loop. Internally, the board routes control signals for up to 8 drives, which helps coordinate several axes from one control platform.

The physical envelope measures 280 mm in depth, 124 mm in height, and 17.5 mm in width, so multiple units can share a compact rack. When additional motion capacity is needed, the board links to external slave carriers, raising the channel count to 32 drives while keeping the module arrangement inside the host system organized. The card is meant to slide into an industrial PC chassis and take power and signals from that host location. Its narrow profile also leaves room for neighboring cards or added expansion hardware in the same enclosure.
