Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-Q1-P2-G2-FW control unit is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the PPC Controllers series. Intended for cabinet installation in industrial automation lines, the module serves as a central motion and logic processor that links drives, encoders, and supervisory PLCs. By executing axis interpolation and program sequencing, it streamlines coordinated motion tasks such as pick-and-place, packaging, or printing where deterministic controller response is required. This arrangement allows one controller to manage motion commands and machine logic within the same control cabinet.

The controller is powered from a dedicated backplane feed of 24 VDC, and its internal electronics draw up to 1.2 A during peak real-time computations. Two differential sinusoidal encoder channels are accepted at a maximum input frequency of 200 kHz, allowing high-resolution position feedback without aliasing. For serial glass-fiber or copper encoder links, the EnDat interface level is RS485, providing noise-immune communication over long runs. Network diagnostics and data exchange pass through an integrated Ethernet port that terminates with a standard RJ-45 connector. Cross Communication with the DAQ03 option card shares status words between multiple PPC units so distributed axes can be synchronized without an external master.

The RECO housing design gives the module a panel depth compatible with DIN rail frames and carries an IP20 protection rating suited for enclosed cabinets. A link-ring bus distributes auxiliary encoder power and delivers up to 700 mA at a regulated 5 V, which is sufficient for two master encoder inputs and the resident Profibus fieldbus slave interface. The unit is not equipped for hardware expansion, so its memory remains fixed. Ripple on the control line is limited to 4 Vpp to maintain stable digital logic thresholds.
