Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-N-Q1-P1-NN-FW is a programmable controller from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the PPC Controllers series. It functions as a central control node that manages coordinated motion and machine sequences in distributed drive systems. By combining internal logic, power distribution, and fieldbus connectivity in one unit, it supports automated cells, packaging lines, and material-handling equipment that require synchronized axis control. Its role is to coordinate motion commands, monitor input states, and issue output responses in step with the machine cycle. This arrangement allows the controller to handle sequence decisions locally while exchanging operating data with connected drives and surrounding machine modules.

The controller operates from a nominal 24 VDC supply and draws up to 1.2 A during full operation. It provides 3 opto-isolated digital inputs for position sensors or limit switches and 2 transistor digital outputs for contactors, indicator lamps, or other low-current control signals. The opto-isolated input design helps separate incoming field signals from the internal electronics, while the transistor outputs support direct switching of small external loads. Program storage is contained in a soldered flash memory array of 32 MB, which keeps motion libraries and user data inside the unit. Cross communication through DAQ03 backplane signaling links the controller with neighboring modules for deterministic data exchange across the machine.

In a compatible system, each controller can coordinate up to 40 drives, allowing one control node to supervise multiple motion axes from a common platform. The housing uses the RECO unit format for DIN-rail snap-in mounting and pluggable connectors, and it has an IP20 enclosure rating for installation inside closed electrical cabinets. The two sourcing outputs share a maximum load of 0.5 A, which suits status devices and other light control duties rather than larger actuators. The unit has a mass of 1.3 kg, helping keep cabinet load low. No memory expansion slot is provided, so onboard storage remains fixed for the installed application.
