Product Description:

The VEP30.4EFN-512NN-MAD-1G0-NN-FW is an operator interface unit from Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the VEP Embedded Terminals series. As an HMI, it combines visualization, data entry, and local control, allowing a PLC or motion system to present process graphics and accept touch commands on the machine front panel. Its purpose in industrial automation is to streamline operator interaction by embedding computing hardware, field cabling, and a sealed display into one installation-ready module. This arrangement helps keep the operator station compact while placing status information and machine commands directly at the point of use.

The color display measures 8.4 in across the diagonal and renders graphics at 800 × 600 pixels, giving adequate resolution for WinStudio screens and alarm dialogs. Touch input is accepted directly on the glass, so no external keyboard is required for routine screen navigation or command entry. A Celeron 1 GHz processor executes the Win CE 6.0 operating system, and its control logic is supported by 512 MB RAM, which holds the runtime environment and active project variables. Non-volatile storage is supplied by a 1 GB CompactFlash card that retains recipes and historical data through power cycles. Two USB 2.0 ports permit service uploads or barcode reader attachment, while the housing depth of 88 mm allows shallow panel mounting. Physical dimensions of 200 mm in height and 296 mm in width leave space for wiring to the 24 V DC terminal block and the twin Ethernet jacks.

The aluminum front bezel carries an IP65 rating, blocking dust ingress and low-pressure water jets during washdown procedures. Internal electronics are powered from a single 24 V DC supply that is common on cabinet buses, so no additional converters are necessary. Network integration is handled by 2 × RJ45 10/100 Base-T ports that support segregated supervisory and field networks, which can simplify communication between plant-level systems and machine-level control. For panel design, the unit weighs 2.3 kg, and its 88 mm depth enables installation in narrow enclosures without obstructing rear ventilation paths. The compact enclosure also helps the terminal fit into machine panels where rear clearance is limited.
