Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-Q1-T3-NN-FW is a programmable control platform produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the PPC Controllers series. As a control unit, it mounts in multi-axis drive cabinets to coordinate motion sequences, manage I/O preprocessing, and exchange status data with higher-level PLCs. In an automation cell, the module acts as a central task scheduler that supervises drive controllers and supports deterministic command delivery across the motion bus. This arrangement keeps motion handling centralized within the rack and supports coordinated operation across connected axes.

The module provides DAQ03 cross communication, allowing peer-to-peer data sharing so adjacent PPC nodes can exchange process variables without a separate gateway. For plant networks, an integrated ETH02 100 Mb Ethernet interface supports standard TCP/IP messaging over a switched infrastructure. The unit is Design version 2, so its backplane logic follows the second electrical release for this platform. The electronics are housed in a RECO unit that slides into DIN rail carriers and directs airflow across the processor ASICs. It is supplied with no memory expansion, so user programs and stored data must remain within the available on-board flash capacity.

The device is a control unit positioned above individual servo drives, making it suitable for coordinated interpolation and sequence execution. It follows Series 2 connector conventions, so field wiring matches second-generation SERCOS drive modules used in the same cabinet. The backplane uses keyed guides to keep the module aligned as it slides into place. This layout helps the card seat correctly in the rack and maintain consistent electrical contact during installation. It also allows the controller to fit the intended carrier arrangement without mechanical changes to the surrounding assembly.
