Product Description:

The RMA02.2-16-DC024 is an output module manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RECO Drive Modules series. It supplies digitally controlled 24 VDC channels that link the drive rack to field actuators in machine tools, packaging lines, or handling systems. By integrating solid-state switches and internal protection features, the unit converts controller commands into reliable power pulses for devices that need fast, repetitive on and off action while remaining electrically isolated from the logic backplane.

The housing depth is only 81 mm, so the module fits shallow enclosures without crowding adjacent cards. It provides 16 discrete outputs, giving the controller a high channel density for compact I/O layouts. Each channel can deliver up to 2 A, allowing direct switching of moderate-power relays or solenoids without external amplifiers. A solid-state FET transistor is used as the switching element, which minimizes switching losses and eliminates mechanical wear. The outputs turn on when the backplane supplies 24 VDC, matching the standard control voltage used throughout the RECO platform. Current limiting is handled internally, so the drive rack does not need separate fuses for every channel, and the outputs remain short-circuit protected during wiring faults.

The design can withstand inrush demands up to 2.0 A without tripping, which helps prevent nuisance shutdowns when inductive loads energize. Mechanical width is 41.3 mm, and height is 192 mm, so the module aligns with other RECO cards without obstructing airflow channels. Signal integrity is improved by galvanic isolation arranged as 2 blocks of 8 outputs, so disturbances on one group do not propagate to the other. This arrangement helps keep switching noise from one output group from affecting the other group during operation.
