Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-N-G2-P2-N1-FW is a control unit from Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the PPC Controllers series. Designed for factory automation, it supervises motion and I/O, acting as the deterministic control core that links drive-based positioning tasks to higher-level networks. By embedding application code in a compact RECO housing, the module provides coordinated sequence control for packaging machines, material-handling cells, and general machine-tool installations. Via a Profibus slave channel, it exchanges process data with a central PLC and supports synchronized interaction with connected drives and field devices.

The controller draws its logic power from a regulated 24 VDC rail and remains operational during supply variations, provided ripple stays within the allowed limit. Total consumption peaks at 1.2 A, while each digital channel can source 0.5 A, so the power feed must support both internal demand and output loading. Nonvolatile storage includes 32 MB of flash memory for user programs, retained data, and operating information. On the communication side, the DPS01 Profibus interface exchanges up to 32 words of cyclic data with the master, supporting deterministic coordination of drives, sensors, and related machine states.

The controller mounts on a DIN TS 35x27x15 rail and weighs 1.3 kg, which helps keep cabinet installation straightforward. Protection is limited to IP20, so the unit must be installed inside an enclosure, and the housing layout keeps conductor access at the front for practical wiring. A Profibus slave scan time of 4 ms supports timely setpoint and feedback updates during machine cycles. For time-critical actions, the integrated PLS option card offers 16 outputs arranged in banks, with switching capability of 2 A per eight channels at the 24 V logic level.
