The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RG2-004ABB is an encoder cable from the RG2 Encoder Cables series, designed as a basic, second generation cable for use with KMS01.2 and KMS02.1 drives and MS2x motors. It features an analogue encoder type, a cross-section of 0.50 mm², and supports bending cycles up to 5,000,000. The cable operates between -20 to 80 °C and uses a direct connection with an M17 encoder connector.

Product Description:
The RG2-004ABB cable is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the RG2 Encoder Cables series. It is classified by the manufacturer as a Rexroth cable and serves as an encoder cable that transports analogue position data between a motor and its drive in industrial automation systems. The basic construction supports closed-loop motion on MS2x motors by linking directly to compatible KMS drive controllers, keeping feedback signals stable during continuous machine cycles.
This cable uses a conductor cross-section of 0.50 mm², giving a size that balances voltage drop and flexibility. Mechanical durability is demonstrated by its rating of 5,000,000 bending cycles, so repeated dynamic routing does not degrade the cores prematurely. For moving-chain layouts, a minimum dynamic bend radius of 7.5xD must be maintained, while fixed installations can observe a tighter static radius of 4xD. The product is a second-generation design and still follows the series’ Basic cable design for straightforward routing. Together with its direct motor-drive connection scheme, these characteristics allow the cable to be installed without intermediate junction boxes, which simplifies wiring runs in compact control cabinets.
The encoder interface carried over the conductors is specified as Analogue, and termination on the motor side is handled by an M17 Encoder Connector that matches the MS2x feedback port. The storage temperature floor of −40 °C ensures the cable remains stable when kept in unheated warehouses, and it tolerates operation from −20 °C up to 80 °C with an identical 80 °C ceiling for storage. Drives of type KMS01.2 and KMS02.1 accept the direct connection, so when these controllers are paired with the specified motors, the assembly meets the series’ full electrical and environmental envelope.
