Product Description:

The MTS-P01.2-D2-B1-NN-NN-NN-FW is a servo control module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied within the MTS Servo Control Modules series. It plugs into an ISA backplane and occupies only 22 mm of rack space while standing 145 mm high and 295 mm deep, so it fits easily alongside other drive electronics. Inside an automation cell, the unit acts as a communication processor between higher-level motion controllers and distributed I/O islands, translating drive-related data onto an INTERBUS field network.

The module is configured as an INTERBUS Master, allowing a ring length of up to 12.8 km when fiber repeaters are used. Within that distance, it can manage up to 256 bus segments and address 4096 inputs and 4096 outputs, which supports large material-handling lines. A dedicated logic supply of +5 VDC, 400 mA powers the onboard INTERBUS interface, while the carrier board provides the additional +12 V and -12 V rails needed for transceivers and opto-isolators. Sixteen TTL inputs and sixteen TTL outputs are presented on the front edge connector for time-critical local signals, and the card can support as many as 512 user stations without exceeding protocol limits.

Status reporting is available through a RS232C diagnostic port that provides parameter access and event logs. Remote drop lines connect to field devices over a 2-Wire RS422 channel, permitting noise-resistant data exchange in electrically harsh areas. The logic section draws from a backplane feed of +5 V, +12 V, -12 V, and an independent watchdog relay can interrupt external circuits rated at 24 V, 150 mA if program execution stops. This arrangement lets the module supervise distributed drives, collect discrete feedback, and pass deterministic command frames across the plant network without additional gateway hardware.
