Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-G2-P1-Q1-FW controller belongs to the PPC Controllers series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Packaged as a RECO unit, this control hardware supervises coordinated motion, collects status information, and issues deterministic commands to drives, sensors, and host interfaces inside automated assembly or machining cells. Its role is to link field-level encoders and discrete I/O with higher-level supervisory systems, allowing flexible, multi-axis sequencing without embedding individual processors inside every drive.

The unit operates from a regulated 24 VDC supply and uses design version 1. It can address up to 64 drives while exchanging cyclic data over Cross Communication and the DAQ03 channel. The controller has 3 digital inputs; it detects a change on the first rising edge within an input delay of 50 µs, then propagates a deterministic response through two transistor outputs whose overall switching lag does not exceed 500 µs. Two digital outputs service interlocks or small actuators, and a 4-digit alphanumeric display presents state codes during operation. When higher-resolution position feedback is required, the internal LAG master encoder card distributes reference pulses to connected drives, while the housing layout keeps heat-generating logic away from field wiring paths.

The controller has 2 encoder inputs for incremental or absolute feedback comparison during homing and synchronous gearing. The effective sourcing capacity of each transistor stage reaches 0.5 A, supporting pilot relays or indicator lamps without an external driver. A nonvolatile real-time clock maintains time stamps for 3 days after power loss, and system settings remain intact even though the board is not equipped for memory expansion. The enclosure is rated IP20, so the module must be mounted inside an enclosed cabinet with adequate ventilation.
