Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-N1-T3-NN-FW is a control module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the PPC Controllers series. The card is intended for installation in a RECO rack where it supervises motion commands, executes PLC logic, and exchanges status data with drives and remote I/O hardware. By combining these tasks on one board, the unit simplifies cabinet layouts and shortens internal communication paths in industrial automation cells. This arrangement also allows machine control and motion coordination to remain inside the same rack structure instead of relying on a separate standalone controller. It is well suited for systems that need coordinated axis control together with PLC-based machine sequencing.

The unit is Design version 2, placing it in the second mechanical build of the family. Network traffic is handled through a 100 Mb EtherNet interface that permits deterministic data exchange with supervisory PCs or higher-level controllers over standard twisted-pair cabling. The controller uses a RECO unit housing, so the module locks into the backplane without external wiring harnesses and benefits from unified cooling airflow inside the rack. Internal flash sockets are present, but the board is supplied with no memory expansion, so applications must fit within the onboard storage unless an add-on card is installed later. For synchronized cam switching, a PLS module option card can be inserted to provide dedicated hardware channels for fast trigger signals.

As a Control Unit, it centralizes PLC execution and motion coordination in a compact rack-mounted format. The card belongs to Series 2, and the code ETH02 appears near the RJ45 port to indicate the 100 Mb networking version rather than an earlier 10 Mb variant. That marking helps distinguish the communication hardware quickly when the rack contains multiple controller types. The module remains suitable for systems that rely on fast status exchange between the controller, drives, and remote I/O, especially where cabinet space is limited and several automation functions must be grouped in one location.
