Product Description:

The NY4112 is a compact linear drive module positioned within the NY Linear Drives series from Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Designed for decentralized architectures, the device combines power electronics and onboard networking so that it can actuate a linear motor while reporting position, load, and diagnostic data to supervisory PLCs. This integration reduces cabinet wiring and lets machine builders mount the drive close to the axis it controls. In industrial automation systems, the module coordinates high-speed pick-and-place slides, carton inserters, or material transfer stations that demand precise and repeatable linear motion.

The default IP address of 192.168.41.12 gives each drive a predictable entry point for configuration utilities. Communication reaches the electronics through the single ETH1 port, so one twisted-pair line links the unit to an industrial switch. Because the interface is Ethernet, standard Cat-5e wiring and TCP/UDP services handle programming, diagnostics, and firmware updates without proprietary media. Control logic draws from the machine’s low-voltage bus; the specified system power of 24 V keeps conductors compatible with common sensor supplies and simplifies brown-out monitoring by the host PLC.

Addressing and sequencing follow deterministic rules. Each node’s identity is tied to its configured tag because the node address basis is Assigned IP Address. During boot, devices are polled in Alphabetical Node Name order, delivering repeatable start-up behavior. Time alignment across axes relies on IEEE1588; if lock is lost the drive resynchronizes within 90 s, preventing cumulative position error. These timing and naming mechanisms, paired with the engineering standards of Bosch Rexroth Indramat, let multiple NY4112 units preserve coordinated motion in multi-axis linear gantries.
