RMK02.1-LWL-SER-FW

Product Description:

The RMK02.1-LWL-SER-FW is a plug-in fiber optic module from the RECO Drive Modules series by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Its main function is to handle optical serial interface communication between drive controllers, making it essential in tightly synchronized motion setups and CNC networks. Built for tight integration, the module uses an LWL (fiber optic): serial connection, reducing signal loss and maintaining stability across longer distances.

The design is focused on high-reliability communication. It supports LWL-SER bus type and ships with factory-preloaded firmware, so configuration remains minimal during installation. This module fits directly into RECO systems, often operating alongside drive controllers where electromagnetic interference can be a concern. With its fiber-based interface, electrical noise is eliminated from the signal chain. Mounts easily as a plug-in module, avoiding the need for external wiring boxes or interface boards. Its proven track record in diverse industries highlights its versatility and dependable operation in both simple and complex automation scenarios.

The RMK02.1-LWL-SER-FW operates in environments between 0°C to 45°C, which covers most machine control cabinets and enclosures used in automated production. For long-term storage or spares, temperature can range from -25°C to 70°C without damaging internal firmware or optics. Applications usually include automated manufacturing lines, robotic assemblies, and CNC systems that rely on consistent communication speed and minimal delay between commands. Fiber transmission here isn’t just for distance—it ensures that all motion sequences trigger exactly when expected, without signal drop or jitter. Engineered for industrial setups where downtime is costly, this module keeps data flow between components fast and uninterrupted. The RMK02.1-LWL-SER-FW is one of those components that often goes unnoticed—but without it, entire control systems wouldn’t sync properly.
