Product Description:
The RMK02.2-LWL-SER is an interface module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RECO Drive Modules series. Within an Indramat automation rack, this unit acts as a communication bridge that allows individual drive controllers to participate on a high-speed optical network. Its role in industrial automation is to translate local RECO bus information into deterministic telegrams so that positioning, velocity, and diagnostic data reach the central PLC without delays that could disrupt synchronized multi-axis motion.
The module transfers telegrams through fiber optic cable, a medium that is immune to electrical noise and is useful when the drive ring runs alongside inverter power wiring. Logical framing follows the SERCOS protocol, so telegram timing and slot allocation remain predictable for up to 16 stations in a single ring. Despite this capacity, the hardware occupies only one rack bay and measures 41.3 x 192 x 81 mm, which helps keep the control enclosure compact. Its terminals and vent slots meet IP20, providing touch-safe construction for use inside a clean, closed cabinet with supplemental airflow. Edge-mounted optical transmitters convert electrical signals into light pulses and draw power directly from the backplane, eliminating separate supply cabling.
Station addressing is configured with a front-panel rotary switch, eliminating the need for separate software tools when assigning the node address. The module snaps onto a basic carrier rail that holds 4 plug-in bays, and its purpose is fieldbus coupling, meaning it passes process data without interpreting it. Because the design is intended for a control cabinet, the surrounding enclosure provides finger protection and helps manage vibration and heat. Within the drive ring, the unit operates as an I/O participant for deterministic scheduling.
