Product Description:

The VCP08.1BTN-RS-NN-PW operator terminal from Bosch Rexroth Indramat belongs to the VCP IndraControl Terminals series. It combines a monochrome LCD with an LED backlight and a tactile keypad so users can issue commands and view status messages at the cabinet door. Acting as a human-machine interface for PLC-based automation, the unit interprets keystrokes, refreshes the display, and exchanges data over serial links, giving motion controllers or drive systems a dedicated front end without requiring a full PC. This format suits machine panels that need dependable text-based interaction and straightforward local control.

Inside the panel, a regulated input of 24 V DC powers a Z84 microprocessor clocked at 10 MHz, a rate that supports deterministic screen updates and serial communication. The controller’s working data are buffered in 128 KByte Static CMOS-RAM, while application graphics and message tables are retained in 256 KByte Flash so they remain available during power cycles. Separating volatile working memory from nonvolatile storage helps the terminal maintain responsive local operation while preserving stored interface data. A display window measuring 38 x 119 mm provides the active viewing area, allowing four text rows to be rendered without truncation and keeping character height legible at typical eye distances on factory floors.

The molded front bezel carries a sealing gasket that achieves IP54 ingress protection, helping block dust deposits and water splashes common near coolant sprays or conveying lines. Four rows of text, each showing up to twenty characters, are drawn at a matrix of 120 x 32 pixels so alarm strings remain sharp under low ambient light. Users interact through 36 discrete membrane keys that provide tactile feedback for jog, reset, or menu navigation functions. The keypad layout supports routine control actions without adding external input devices to the enclosure door. Installation requires a rectangular panel opening of 199 x 139 mm, and the rear portion remains within an IP20 zone inside the cabinet.
