Product Description:

The VCH08.1-EAB-064ET-A10-064-D4-E1-PW is an operator terminal manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VCH IndraControl Terminals series. It combines a compact handheld form with integrated visualization so that machine status and commands can be exchanged directly at the production line. The unit connects to the parent control cabinet over a dedicated cable and serves as the local human-machine interface within distributed automation cells.

The terminal is powered from a 24 V DC supply, and its electronics draw only 4.8 W, which eases power budgeting inside small enclosures. An IP65 front rating supports washdown use when the bezel is properly mounted. The display measures 3.8 in diagonally and uses a backlit STN panel that shows five gray tones, so simple graphics and alarm text remain easy to read. Internally, 64 MB of RAM complements 64 MB of flash for recipe and project storage, and the terminal supports VI-Composer visualization projects for local operation. Standard Ethernet supports network diagnostics, while an integrated USB host port accepts memory sticks for data transfer. The hardware also handles 320 kbyte screen buffers through the PXA-based architecture without exceeding its intended thermal range.

The molded housing is linked to the controller through an 8 m hybrid cable that carries both power and communication, allowing the unit to be used along larger machines. Short-stroke keys provide tactile feedback, and the cluster of 40 operating keys includes legend fields for custom labeling. Graphical output is rendered at 320 × 240 pixels, which matches the display size and keeps bitmaps and trend curves clear on screen. A PXA 270/416 MHz processor runs the runtime engine so screen changes and key scans remain responsive even while Ethernet traffic is being processed.
