Product Description:

The VEP40.1CEU-064NA-G3D-064-EC-FW is an industrial human-machine interface manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VEP Embedded Terminals series. Mounted on the front of a machine, it provides visualization, parameter entry, and diagnostic functions so users can supervise drives, controllers, and field devices without opening the cabinet. Its fanless PC architecture and integrated display suit continuous service in production lines, packaging stations, and assembly cells where a compact control station is needed.

The unit uses a 12.1 in TFT display and renders graphics at 800 × 600 px with a palette of 262,144 colors, giving a clear view of process values and alarm states. An NS-Geode 300 MHz processor with 4 MB shared graphics memory runs the Windows-based runtime while keeping thermal output low. Communication with higher-level controllers is available through a PROFIBUS DP Master interface that can manage distributed I/O, and through two 10/100Base-T RJ45 Ethernet ports for plant networks or remote access. The resistive touch screen serves as the sole input method, replacing mechanical keys and allowing menu navigation even with gloved hands.

The aluminum front bezel provides IP65 protection against dust and water jets, while the rear PC box has an IP20 rating for cabinet environments. Power is supplied at 24 VDC, so the terminal can share the low-voltage rail used by sensors and relays. When connected over PROFIBUS, the device supports data rates up to 12 Mbaud, enabling rapid cyclic exchange of setpoints and feedback. Operational integrity in harsh areas is supported by shock resistance up to 15 g, which helps the electronics withstand mechanical impacts common on press lines or material handlers. A pair of USB Type-A connectors simplifies recipe transfer and service imaging, while panel dimensions of 350 mm in width by 290 mm in height ease retrofit into standardized cutouts.
