Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-T3-NN-NN-FW is a control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the PPC Controllers series. Installed as a RECO module on a TS 35 × 27 × 15 DIN rail, it supervises coordinated motion on Sercos rings and exchanges status data with higher-level PLCs through its built-in Ethernet port. The device serves as the processing core in multi-axis machines, executing control programs, sequencing drives, and publishing diagnostics to central monitoring software. By concentrating these functions in a single rail-mounted slice, it reduces panel wiring and simplifies system integration inside the control cabinet.

Its mechanical profile occupies a double-slot width in the RECO carrier, leaving three free expansion bays for local I/O. A regulated supply of 24 VDC powers the logic, and allowable ripple of 4 Vpp helps keep timing circuits stable. Application code and boot files reside on a 32 MB Compact Flash card that can be replaced without tools. During operation, the controller draws up to 1.2 A, a value used when sizing cabinet power supplies. Sercos traffic is handled by an integrated ASIC that supports a bus speed of 16 MBaud, enabling position data updates every 62.5 µs. One master node can address as many as 40 Sercos drives, so a single PPC unit can synchronize a large gantry or transfer line with deterministic cycle times.

Additional communication is provided by two serial channels that support speeds up to 115200, which is sufficient for bar-code scanners or HMI panels that lack Ethernet. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so it must be mounted inside a cabinet but does not require additional gasketing for normal indoor use. At 1.3 kg, the module is light enough for standard rail clips while still providing stable mounting in moving machinery. The controller should be installed in an enclosure that provides suitable protection and enough space for power, serial, and network cable routing.
