Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-Q1-L2-NN-FW is a motion-control platform produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the PPC Controllers series. This control unit coordinates drive axes and peripheral devices in automated machinery, giving the PLC a dedicated module for real-time interpolation and communication tasks. By executing positioning programs locally, the module reduces load on higher-level systems and provides deterministic responses required in packaging lines, machining centers, and material-handling cells.

The unit is supplied as a design version 2 board set, so it uses the mechanical layout assigned to that revision. Field networking is handled through a ControlNet fieldbus interface CNS01; this slave port exchanges cyclic I/O and time-stamped messages with ControlNet masters at predictable rates. For axis-to-axis coordination inside a drive rack, it offers Cross Communication DAQ03, enabling high-speed data sharing among multiple PPC processors without routing traffic through the PLC. All electronics are seated in a RECO unit housing, which locks to the RECO backplane with a single lever. Functionally, the module is classified as a Control Unit, so it focuses on command execution rather than power switching.

There is no memory expansion, so application code must reside in the onboard flash and remain within the available storage capacity for motion libraries. The unit is in series 2, which identifies its product revision within the platform. Signal paths and mechanical guides follow the layout used by Bosch Rexroth Indramat, allowing common diagnostic methods across similar installations. Its role is limited to control and communication functions, while separate drive hardware supplies motor power and current regulation for the connected axes. This rack-based controller supports deterministic data exchange and synchronized axis control without additional gateway cards.
