Product Description:

The VEP50.4DEU-512NC-MAD-1G0-NN-FW embedded terminal is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the VEP Embedded Terminals series. As an operator panel with integrated control hardware, it delivers visualization and basic motion commands to drives and PLCs on the machine floor. By combining the display, processor, and communication interfaces in a single housing, the unit simplifies installation inside automation cabinets. It also serves as the human-machine interface for recipe changes, diagnostics, and production setup.

Its processing section is driven by an Intel ULV Celeron 600 MHz CPU that balances low thermal output with sufficient computing power for graphics-based control screens. The system memory includes 512 MB of RAM for runtime variables and 1 GB of flash storage for the operating system and project data, so applications can load without an external drive. Visual feedback is provided on a 15 in TFT panel with a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels, which is suitable for detailed mimic diagrams and status pages. The electronics are supplied from a 24 V DC source, and at peak demand the terminal draws 1.5 A while not exceeding 36 W. A resistive touch screen registers operator input without mechanical keys, which helps reduce panel wear during frequent use.

Communication with higher-level networks is handled through two Ethernet connectors rated at 2 × 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45, allowing simultaneous PLC communication and network access. For fieldbus integration, the unit carries a PROFIBUS DP Master interface, so it can coordinate distributed I/O without an external gateway. Two front-mounted USB sockets, listed as 2 × USB 2.0, simplify service uploads or data logging to flash drives while preserving the panel's IP65 sealed front. The rear electronics compartment is protected to IP20, and the complete assembly weighs 5.4 kg, allowing direct mounting on an articulated arm or a cabinet door.
