Product Description:

The PPC-P11.1N-N-N1-Q1-NN-FW is a motion-logic control unit built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for installations that use the PPC Controllers series as the central processing layer. Mounted inside a cabinet alongside servo drives, it manages axis coordination, program execution, and data exchange with supervisory PLCs. By providing deterministic real-time command signals, the device links machine sequencing with drive dynamics, allowing automated cells, packaging lines, and handling gantries to execute precise, synchronized motion profiles. It is intended for machines that need repeatable coordination across several axes and consistent response to rapidly changing commands.

Communication is handled through the Cross Communication bus on channel DAQ03, enabling high-speed data sharing between multiple PPC nodes without passing through the PLC backplane. That arrangement supports fast exchange between coordinated machine sections during active motion. The product is Design Version 1. The controller is supplied in an industrial PC housing that integrates a passive backplane, a processor module, and forced-air cooling for panel mounting. The unit is not equipped for memory expansion, so program and buffer space remain limited to the onboard semiconductor memory when large task files are used.

For motion sequencing, the platform accepts an Option Card PLS module with the identifier NSW01, which adds high-speed position latch and cam switching to the base CPU. This plug-in works with the controller's native I/O scan to trigger outputs within microseconds of encoder feedback events, which is useful for registration and timing-based switching. The device is Series 11, which matches power supplies, backplanes, and fan assemblies from the same release. The term Control Unit indicates that it executes coordinated motion and does not drive motor power directly.
