Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-Q2-NN-NN-FW is a control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the PPC Controllers series. Used as the central processor in motion or process automation, the module coordinates multiple drives, manages I/O tasks, and exchanges data with higher-level networks through its integrated communication ports. By combining drive supervision and program execution in one plug-in package, the controller simplifies cabinet layouts in production machinery and material-handling cells.

It operates from a nominal supply of 24 VDC and draws a steady 1.2 A, so the heat load remains modest even in dense racks. Ripple tolerance is 4 Vpp, and the enclosure meets IP20, so the unit must be mounted inside a protected panel. Incoming signals are latched after 50 µs, while discrete commands are sent to the outputs 500 µs later, supporting deterministic sequencing. Three digital inputs, two digital outputs, and two serial ports form the basic field interface, and application code resides in 32 MB of onboard flash memory so it can boot without removable media. Three expansion slots with a double-slot footprint accept optional axis, fieldbus, or memory cards, letting the controller adapt to specialized tasks without changing its footprint.

The control layer can supervise up to 40 Indramat drives through SERCOS or compatible buses, enabling multi-axis gantries from a single card. A supercapacitor keeps the real-time clock active for 3 days, so time-stamped events remain accurate after brief power losses. Operators read status codes on the front-mounted four-digit alphanumeric display, and plain-text diagnostics can be routed through the integrated communication interface. The unit is design version 1. The RECO housing slides into a rail carrier and locks without tools, and the assembly weighs only 1.3 kg, which helps when space is limited in crowded enclosures.
