Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat’s PPC-R22.1N-N-T3-P1-NN-FW belongs to the PPC Controllers series and functions as a DIN-rail control unit for coordinated motion and device management in industrial automation cells. As a standalone node it executes application code, exchanges field data, and drives communication buses, forming the central logic layer between higher-level PLCs and distributed drives or I/O modules.

The controller derives its logic power from a 24 VDC supply, allowing it to share power with standard control cabinets. It accepts 3 digital inputs for status or sensor signals and provides two digital outputs that can each sink up to 0.5 A, making them suitable for direct solenoid or relay actuation. Network access is built in through a EtherNet 100 Mb interface labeled ETH02, which supports real-time parameterization and diagnostic traffic over standard TCP/IP cabling. For fieldbus integration the installed DPM01 card drives cyclic data on Profibus at up to 12 MBaud Profibus, so the unit can occupy the master role in deterministic I/O exchanges. Three internal expansion slots and a double card width leave room for option modules without enlarging the cabinet footprint.

Additional communication bandwidth is available through a 16 MBaud Sercos fiber ring that links drives and servo amplifiers, while legacy equipment can be polled through two asynchronous channels that scale to a 115200-baud serial channel. The electronics sit in a IP20 housing that meets control-cabinet airflow norms, and the unit snaps onto a TS 35 × 27 × 15 DIN rail for quick removal during service. A four-digit alphanumeric display presents status codes locally, and the RECO housing design, combined with “memory expansion not equipped,” ensures that program data remains inside flash memory rather than removable cards, simplifying version control and reducing parts count.
