Product Description:

The MTC-P01.2-M2-A2-NN-NN-FW EP is a processing module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MTC200 CNC Modules series. Designed for numerical control systems, the board coordinates multi-axis motion and spindle functions inside industrial machine tools. By housing the central logic for axis interpolation, drive communication, and process sequencing, it serves as the node that links digital drives, human-machine interfaces, and higher-level PLC layers. It also consolidates motion supervision and process control on one board, reducing the need for separate controller hardware inside the rack.

This P01.2 variant carries one axis processor module that executes real-time kinematic calculations. Its memory bank provides 2 MB RAM, giving sufficient volatile storage for part programs and machine status buffers. The board connects to the system backplane over the ISA bus so legacy control racks can be upgraded without rewiring. Drive commands leave the module on a SERCOS fiber optic link, providing deterministic telegram timing and electrical isolation. Up to 8 digital drives can be attached directly, and the internal architecture offers 4 module slots for optional I/O or communication extensions. This arrangement lets the module exchange high-speed motion data with connected drives while leaving expansion capacity for machine-specific interfaces. Because the product is subject to an export restriction, shipment outside specific regions must be cleared in advance.

The module has a depth of 280 mm, a height of 124 mm, and a front width of 17.5 mm, which helps it fit dense cabinets. A narrow front profile also leaves room for adjacent control components where channel density is critical. Within this envelope, the control logic supervises 7 independent processes, each capable of coordinating up to 9 axes per process while assigning as many as 3 spindles to individual machining sequences. That operating structure supports multipart fixtures, parallel work zones, or dual-head gantries without requiring a second controller. The specified dimensions also help airflow planning when multiple modules are stacked in the same cabinet.
