Product Description:

The MTS-R02.1-M1-B1-S4-NN-FW module is a servo control card produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and used in the MTS Servo Control Modules series. It monitors motion sequences by exchanging position, velocity, and status data with axis drives through integrated serial links, which connects the machine controller to the drive hardware. In packaging lines, printing presses, and material-handling cells, the board serves as the supervisory layer for coordinated motion and diagnostic reporting across multiple servo axes. This role allows one central module to manage command flow and operating feedback without adding a separate standalone motion computer.

Incoming power is supplied at a nominal 24 VDC, which simplifies low-voltage cabinet wiring for control electronics. Under normal operation, the board draws a maximum of 0.7 A, but the supply must also tolerate a short startup demand of 20 A as the internal capacitors charge. The controller accepts ripple up to 4 Vss, so a stable power source helps prevent nuisance shutdowns and communication interruptions during operation. Its enclosure rating is IP 20, which blocks accidental contact with internal parts but still requires installation inside a closed electrical cabinet. These values affect supply selection, protective devices, and cabinet layout around the control section.

For I/O expansion, the module accepts up to 16 plug-in digital or analog cards, and it also includes 3 optional slots for specialty interfaces such as encoder evaluation or fieldbus communication. The base unit occupies 2 rack positions, so the mounting space must include that width along with clearance for front-side cabling. With a mass of 1.65 kg, the card places only a light load on horizontal backplanes and supports dense multi-axis cabinet arrangements. This combination of expansion capacity and compact size suits control systems that need several interface channels without giving up excessive panel space.
