Product Description:

The handheld operator terminal VCH08.1EAB-064ET-A1D-064-DS-E1-PW belongs to the VCH IndraControl Terminals series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It serves as a compact human-machine interface for configuring, monitoring, and jogging automated axes directly at the machine, combining push-button control with graphical feedback to support setup and routine production tasks. Its pendant-style layout lets the operator stay close to the process while reviewing status screens, calling diagnostic pages, and issuing local machine commands.

A PXA 270 processor running at 416 MHz drives the terminal logic and communications, while the system program and user data occupy 64 MB of application memory. Visual information appears on a backlit, transmissive STN panel measuring 3.8 in diagonally, and its native resolution of 320 x 240 pixels supports clear display of status icons, menus, and trend views in varying light. For direct machine interaction, the front panel provides 15 function keys that can be assigned to motion commands, safety acknowledgments, or diagnostic pages through the VI-Composer visualization environment.

The housing is sealed to IP65, allowing use in washdown or dusty areas when the cable gland is fitted correctly. A factory-installed cable that is 8 m long carries both 24 V DC power and data, giving operators freedom to move around large equipment while remaining connected for emergency-stop signaling, and a built-in handwheel enables incremental positioning without external pulse generators. Typical energy draw is only 4.8 W, which helps limit heat inside the pendant enclosure, and the overall assembly weighs 1.1 kg, making extended handheld operation easier. STN display technology supports simple grayscale presentation, and onboard flash storage retains project data when the unit is powered down.
