Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-N1-N2-P1-FW is a programmable control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied within the PPC Controllers series. Installed in drive cabinets, the module coordinates motion sequences, logic processing, and fieldbus communication for multi-axis machine tools and material-handling cells. Integrated processor resources execute control tasks so that servo drives and I/O stations receive synchronized commands. In plant automation, the device serves as the central control platform that links operator commands, sensor feedback, and drive actuation in one deterministically timed workflow. It is suited for systems that combine axis control, machine sequencing, and networked peripheral communication in one cabinet-mounted controller.

Its main board uses Design Version 1, indicating the first hardware revision of this controller. The unit slides into a RECO unit housing, a modular enclosure that locks onto DIN rails and shares power and bus backplanes with adjacent cards. Because the board has no memory expansion, user programs are stored in the installed memory rather than on added memory modules. An integrated onboard Ethernet port supports direct TCP/IP diagnostics and supervisory communication, while a DP Master Profibus interface handles cyclic data exchange with drives, distributed I/O, and operator panels at rates up to 12 Mbit/s.

The Option Card PLS module adds high-speed position latch and cam switching functions without loading the main processor. As a Control Unit, the module communicates with Sercos drive controllers through backplane connectors for coordinated axis triggering. Its program structure follows the conventions used across the PPC Controllers series, which keeps motion and I/O handling consistent within this platform. This arrangement supports synchronized responses between axis events and connected control devices during automated machine cycles.
