Product Description:

The MTS-R01.2-M2-B1-FW module is a servo control component produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the MTS Servo Control Modules series. Mounted on the SERCOS or parallel I/O backplane of an Indramat drive cabinet, it acts as the central logic and auxiliary-power distributor for several axis drives. The device receives command words from the supervisory PLC, monitors status bits, and relays enable signals so that connected servo amplifiers respond in the required sequence. By consolidating these coordination tasks in one pluggable unit, the module simplifies system setup and keeps field wiring inside the cabinet to a minimum.

Its logic electronics operate from a nominal backplane supply of 24 VDC, and under that voltage the module draws a maximum current of 0.5 A; this current figure helps size the shared control supply. During peak data exchange, the internal converters can consume up to 52 W, so cabinet ventilation must dissipate this heat. An external slow-blow fuse rated at 4 A on the 24 V line protects the module against overcurrent events while preventing nuisance trips during startup inrush. The housing has an IP20 protection rating, so it is finger-safe but must be installed inside a closed electrical enclosure.

In panel layout, the unit occupies 41.5 mm of front plate width, allowing several modules to sit side by side on a standard rail. Its vertical dimension is 192 mm, and the depth behind the mounting plane is 150 mm, which lets it fit within the typical 200 mm rack depth used in Indramat drive cabinets. Despite the steel shield and printed circuit assemblies, the overall mass is only 1.1 kg, so the module adds little load to the cabinet rail and can be handled easily during installation. These dimensions guide enclosure spacing, door clearances, and vibration calculations for the final installation.
