Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P2-NN-FW is a programmable control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the PPC Controllers series. Engineered for motion-centric automation, it serves as the supervisory node that schedules axis movements, handles interpolation, and coordinates digital I/O for packaging, printing, or handling machines. Because the module plugs directly into Indramat RECO racks alongside drive amplifiers it can reduce reliance on separate control hardware in compatible systems.

The controller draws a nominal input of 24 VDC, so it can be powered directly from standard control supplies. Even at full CPU load, it requires no more than 1.2 A, which helps minimize heat dissipation on the DIN rail. Three modular I/O or communication cards can be added through a backplane that offers 3 expansion slots, allowing task-specific customization without external gateways. Application code and diagnostic files are stored in an onboard flash array rated at 32 MB, and solid-state storage avoids rotating media. An enclosure rating of IP20 limits the unit to clean, closed cabinets and provides basic finger protection.

For host interaction, the base unit presents 2 serial ports that can be assigned to HMI panels, service laptops, or barcode scanners without consuming expansion capacity. High-speed machine networks are handled through a dedicated Profibus fieldbus slave interface in the DPS01 configuration, which lets the controller exchange cyclic data with PLC masters. The electronics are carried on a compact RECO unit backplane, and the assembly weighs only 1.3 kg, simplifying installation. The base configuration does not include additional memory expansion, so storage capacity remains limited to the installed flash array.
