Product Description:

The IPC40.1G1A-128N-P6C-ND-NN-FW is an industrial PC unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VPB IndraControl PC Units series. Classified within product line 40, the module combines control processing and communication functions in a compact enclosure. As a PC-based controller, it delivers deterministic computing power and field networking to coordinate motion, visualization, and diagnostic tasks on automated machinery. The housing follows the series Type A layout, allowing cabinet mounting beside drives and I/O slices without extra adapters, while the integrated graphics controller supports local operator panels through standard display interfaces.

Processing resources are supplied by a Pentium III CPU, and primary memory is set at 128 MByte to accommodate the real-time kernel, HMI, and user program space. Two front-panel USB sockets provide host connections, and the internal controller can recognize up to 128 high-speed or full-speed USB devices, including scanners, memory sticks, and service dongles. Network access is provided through an 8-pin RJ45 connector that supports 10Base-T/100Base-X Ethernet, enabling fieldbus gateways or connected stations to share the control network. An integrated graphics controller eliminates the need for an add-on card, keeping the display hardware within the Type A enclosure.

Nonvolatile storage is handled by a 2.5-inch hard disk with a minimum capacity of 80 GB, providing space for logs, recipes, and operating system images. The internal lithium backup battery supports approximately 1,000 charge-discharge cycles. It also maintains the real-time clock for approximately 1.5 years before requiring replacement. The maximum permitted ambient temperature gradient is 3 °C/min, allowing the computer to tolerate rapid temperature changes during equipment startup or shutdown.
