Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat builds the RECO MTS-R01.2 U 02.2 2-M2-B1-FW for its RECO Drive Modules series. The module occupies a single carrier slot in a RECO rack and serves as an INTERBUS-S master that coordinates remote I/O stations and higher-level PLCs over serial and fieldbus links. By integrating diagnostic and network supervisory tasks into one housing, it reduces controller loading and streamlines installation in distributed automation lines. In automated assembly cells, the unit gathers digital and analog sensor data, forwards commands to actuators, and maintains deterministic communication cycles between motion drives and process equipment.

Electrical consumption remains modest because the board is energized from a backplane supply of 24 VDC. Under continuous operation, it draws a peak of 0.5 A, allowing dense stacking without oversizing the cabinet power supply. The module provides regulated auxiliary rails to the I/O bus; the 24-volt rail can source 2.2 A for sensors or valve manifolds, while the 5-volt rail offers 3.0 A for logic circuitry. Aggregate dissipation is limited to 52 W, so convective cooling inside an IP20 enclosure is normally sufficient. These power figures help verify that rack wiring and supply breakers can handle startup inrush as well as steady load.

Long-distance installations are supported because the optical ring or copper trunk can span 12.8 km, allowing central cabinets to supervise far-flung machine cells without repeaters. Local program buffering is handled by 2 MB of PLC RAM, which supports cyclic data exchange during short network interruptions. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so it must be mounted inside a protected control cabinet but still offers finger-safe terminals for field wiring. The housing weighs 1.1 kg and measures 41.5 mm wide, 150 mm deep, and 192 mm high, leaving space for additional RECO cards on the same DIN rail.
