Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-N1-P2-Q1-FW is a modular control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the PPC Controllers series. Installed in multi-axis drive topologies, it coordinates motion sequences, processes status data, and exchanges commands between drives and higher-level PLCs. By slotting directly into a RECO rack beside power and feedback modules, this controller reduces wiring and delivers centralized logic for industrial automation cells such as packaging lines, pick-and-place stations, and material-handling gantries.

This unit ships with a Profibus fieldbus slave interface so the drive cluster can be mapped into a master PLC’s I/O image without additional gateways. For peer communication between Rexroth drives, the firmware supports Cross Communication, DAQ03, enabling time-coordinated set-point exchange at the controller backplane. Hardware identification indicates Design Version 2, meaning the printed-circuit assembly follows the second electrical revision and accepts later firmware builds. The electronics are enclosed in a RECO housing, a snap-in plastic carrier that provides DIN-rail mounting and rear bus connectors. An expansion slot is factory-populated with the Option Card PLS module; this plug-in adds programmable limit switches so deterministic output signals can be generated as the axis position passes predefined marks.

Because the firmware image and application program reside internally, the controller operates with no memory expansion; external CompactFlash cards are not supported. Catalog coding lists the device in Series 2, confirming electrical alignment with matching drive modules released in the same hardware cycle. As a programmable Control Unit, it forms the command layer while power stages execute the actual torque demands. Integrated diagnostics, watchdogs, and safe-state handling follow the standards set by Bosch Rexroth Indramat, allowing service technicians to leverage uniform tools across the entire PPC Controllers family.
