Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-N1-V2-Q1-FW is a programmable controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the PPC Controllers series. It serves as the central processor in motion-centered installations, generating setpoints, handling interpolation, and sending deterministic commands to connected drive modules and visualization units. This arrangement separates real-time motion tasks from supervisory PLC logic, which can improve cycle timing and simplify system expansion. The design is intended for rack installation next to drive amplifiers and shares a common backplane for power and signal distribution. Because control and interface functions are centralized in one module, coordinated axis behavior can be managed from a single point in the rack.

At the communication level, the controller implements Cross Communication through the diagnostic board identifier DAQ03; this bus permits high-speed peer data exchange between connected drives without occupying the fieldbus master. For networked devices, it offers a DeviceNet fieldbus slave interface that complies with profile DNS03, allowing status words and parameter objects to be mapped directly into a PLC scan. Mechanical integration follows the RECO unit housing concept, so the module plugs onto a common carrier rail with keyed connectors that help prevent wiring errors. The unit uses design version 2, so the internal processor, memory map, and bootloader correspond to the second hardware release. This communication structure supports fast data exchange between control layers without adding unnecessary interface hardware to the rack.

The front slot can accept the Option Card PLS module, NSW01, which adds programmable limit switch functionality for synchronous cam outputs. The base controller ships with no memory expansion, so data logging capacity remains limited to the default onboard SRAM. Factory classification as a Control Unit means the board executes motion control tasks and does not include power electronics. Onboard memory remains suitable for standard operating data and parameter storage rather than extended trace recording. The controller is in series 2, which places it within the same product generation as comparable units in this line.
