Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-Q1-V1-V2-FW is a control unit manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the PPC Controllers series. Installed in machine cabinets, it interprets application code, supervises peripheral signals, and exchanges data with neighboring drives, delivering coordinated motion sequences to industrial automation cells. Designed for tight cycle times, the module mounts beside drive amplifiers and processes command packets so that conveyors, pick-and-place axes, or process valves operate in step with each other.

Electrical power is supplied at 24 VDC, and the unit draws up to 1.2 A, so cabinet fusing can be sized accordingly. Control code and parameters reside in a non-volatile bank of 32 MB flash memory, and no plug-in expansion is fitted. Communication options include Cross Communication DAQ03 and a DeviceNet slave interface, DNS03, that links the controller to PLC networks. Three digital inputs accept sourcing signals with an input delay of 50 µs, while two digital outputs update actuators through short-circuit-protected drivers. Two serial ports allow parameter access through external devices, and the four-digit alphanumeric display on the front panel presents status codes during startup and operation. The housing carries an IP20 protection rating for dry, filtered control cabinets.

The controller is design version 1 and is built in the RECO housing format, providing three expansion slots for optional function cards without exceeding the overall width. A maximum output current of 0.5 A is available on each transistor driver, with switching delays limited to 500 µs to maintain deterministic timing where valves or relays must follow calculated trajectories. The RECO form factor simplifies wiring because the backplane distributes supply and bus lines, and protection is aided by rail clamping. When Cross Communication is active, internal processing continues without interruption thanks to conservative thermal design and the limited power stages demanded by the RECO packaging.
