Product Description:

The PPC-R02.2N-N-Q1-V2-NN-FW is a modular control platform produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the PPC Controllers series. Installed on the drive rack of Indramat automation systems, the controller executes axis coordination, logical decisions, and communication management in real time. It interprets compiled motion programs and distributes synchronized setpoints to servo drives while collecting status data for the supervising PLC. This arrangement allows multiple motion functions to react quickly to command changes without adding unnecessary communication delays between the controller and the drive hardware.

To handle peer communication between motion nodes, the controller includes Cross Communication through the DAQ03 channel. This dedicated backplane link transfers process variables in real time so axes can share position data without using fieldbus bandwidth. For machine I/O and supervisory PLC connectivity, it carries a DeviceNet slave interface implemented with the DNS03 option, allowing the master to read and write parameters through cyclic or explicit messaging. Separating this internal exchange path from the external network helps maintain consistent data updates during coordinated motion. The unit is Design Version 2, which uses second-generation circuitry with updated timing and broader support for compatible control functions.

The enclosure follows the RECO unit format, so the module mounts directly beside adjacent drive cards and shares the same cooling airflow. Because there is no memory expansion, program and parameter sizes must remain within the onboard flash capacity. The controller is Series 2, placing it in the second product generation of this platform. As a compact Control Unit, it centralizes motion sequencing, error handling, and fieldbus traffic while helping conserve panel space in mid-size machine tools and automation cells. Its rack-mounted layout also keeps interconnections short inside the cabinet.
