Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-N1-P2-T2-FW is a processor module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the PPC Controllers series. Serving as a programmable control platform, it directs motion axes, sequences discrete I/O, and exchanges status data with supervisory PLCs, thereby coordinating conveyor cells, palletizers, and multi-axis gantries. By combining deterministic task scheduling with drive-bus coordination, it delegates trajectory profiles to servo amplifiers while maintaining overall cycle accuracy. Its modular board architecture supports straightforward service access within the control rack.

The module carries Design Version 2, indicating the second mechanical revision of the platform. The integrated Ethernet 10 Mb interface coded ETH01 provides peer-to-peer diagnostics, recipe transfer, and remote access over standard twisted-pair cabling. For deterministic field-level control, a Profibus fieldbus slave interface designated DPS01 exposes input and status bytes to a class-1 master at up to 12 Mbit/s. All circuitry is mounted in a RECO unit housing, so installation requires only a single slot in a Rexroth backplane and permits front removal without disturbing adjacent modules. The controller is in Series 2, which identifies its product generation within the platform.

For high-speed cam switching, the front expansion bay can host the Option Card PLS module NSW01, adding eight latch outputs that act independently of the cyclic bus update. The module is supplied without onboard RAM, so motion tables and user programs must be loaded from the supervisory PLC at power-up. In its role as a Control Unit, it accepts Rexroth PLC programs and executes them alongside motion tasks without requiring an external PC. This arrangement supports fast-response output handling in applications that need precise switching events.
