Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-Q1-B2-NN-FW is a compact programmable motion controller released by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the PPC Controllers series. Installed in a central electrical cabinet, it links to Rexroth servo drives, analog sensing, and digital I/O to coordinate axis movement in automated assembly, packaging, and material-handling cells. By executing interpolation cycles and signal preprocessing internally, the module unloads the supervisory PLC and delivers deterministic timing to the drive bus during simultaneous acceleration and deceleration events.

Data throughput between adjacent intelligent modules is maintained by the Cross communication bus. In this unit, that path is accelerated by the DAQ03 coprocessor, which allocates shared memory windows for position data, status words, and cam tables so axes can exchange information within one scan cycle. For cell-level networking, the onboard Interbus fieldbus slave interface presents the controller to a master as a distributed peripheral, while the dedicated IBS03 electronics handle telegram framing, watchdog timing, and galvanic isolation to keep noise from motor conductors out of the logic domain. The hardware marking Design version 2 indicates revised PCB layouts that preserve connector pinouts used on earlier versions.

Physical integration uses the modular RECO unit housing, allowing the card to slide onto a carrier rail without screws and share a common backplane for power signals. Because it ships with no memory expansion, the available RAM and Flash remain at the base capacity, so part programs must stream from the host rather than reside permanently on the board. Inside the Rexroth roadmap it belongs to Series 2, meaning diagnostics are accessed through the second-generation parameter tree. Labeling it as a dedicated Control Unit distinguishes its function, since it interprets motion instructions, leaves power switching to separate drives, and monitors process states for exception handling.
