Product Description:

The PPC-R22.1N-T-V1-T3-NN-FW is a modular control unit from Bosch Rexroth Indramat's PPC Controllers series. Housed in a RECO double-slot body, it is designed to coordinate multi-axis motion and general machine sequences by acting as the supervisory processor between HMI platforms and SERCOS or fieldbus drives. Within an automation rack, it occupies two slots and executes real-time control code while passing setpoints and diagnostic data to connected servo amplifiers and I/O modules. This layout makes it suitable for centralized machine control in systems that combine motion functions with distributed device communication.

This controller runs from a nominal supply of 24 VDC, and the internal logic remains energized as long as the input stays within its regulated range. An integrated EtherNet 100 Mb interface on the ETH02 card allows TCP/IP communication for program upload and plant network connectivity, while the paired DNM03 module supports DeviceNet master operation so that distributed sensors or valves can be scanned without a separate gateway. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, which provides protection against accidental finger contact and requires cabinet installation for exposure to dust or fluids. Thermal operation is intended for ambient temperatures of 0 to 45 °C, and staying within that range helps prevent processor derating and premature component wear.

Up to 64 drives can be coordinated over the optical SERCOS interface, which gives the controller enough axis capacity for medium to large production lines. Deterministic telegram exchange is selectable at 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 MBaud, allowing cycle times to be matched to the motion requirements of the application. Board electronics draw 1.2 A + I/O up to 2.6 A, which should be considered when sizing the cabinet power supply and DC bus protection. The incoming rail may fluctuate from 19.2 to 30 VDC without interrupting operation, which helps maintain stable control when long cable runs introduce minor voltage drop.
