Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-Q2-G2-NN-FW is a control unit manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the PPC Controllers series. As a programmable platform, the device coordinates motion sequences, manages feedback from connected drives, and sends deterministic commands to servo amplifiers on automated lines. The RECO housing format allows the module to slide into standardized racks inside electrical cabinets, which keeps installation orderly and conserves panel space. This layout suits cabinet-based automation systems that require centralized control and coordinated drive communication.

The controller runs on a 24 VDC supply and draws up to 1.2 A, with ripple kept below 5 percent. A PowerPC 266 MHz processor works with 32 MB SDRAM to handle real-time control tasks, and an IP20 enclosure limits accidental contact with live parts. Primary data storage is provided by a CompactFlash card, and the unit does not support additional memory expansion. Three digital inputs and two digital outputs allow direct connection of limit switches or interlocks, while dual EnDat / 1 VPP encoder channels capture position feedback from external axes. The four-digit alphanumeric status display shows error codes and operating status at the front of the module. The RECO carrier weighs 1.3 kg and uses design version 1.

Network resources include cross-communication over two Arcnet buses, a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for higher-level PLC links, and clock backup for 5 days so time stamps remain valid through short power interruptions. Program variables that must survive power loss are stored in 128 KB NVRAM, while process recipes and stored data reside on the 32 MB CompactFlash medium. The Arcnet channels support synchronization between PPC racks without using Ethernet bandwidth for that traffic. Interface activity can be viewed on the integrated display, which helps users confirm bus status without additional diagnostic hardware.
