Product Description:

The VPB40.1G5A-1G0NN-M1D-BD-NN-FW is an industrial PC unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VPB IndraControl PC Units series. It serves as the computational center for automated machinery, hosting control, motion, and visualization software that drives conveyors, assembly cells, and packaging lines. The unit communicates with operator interfaces through a 25-pin D-Sub display connector and routes field data to higher-level networks via standard Ethernet and serial ports.

Rated for a maximum draw of 200 W, the controller dissipates heat passively inside an enclosure with an IP20 rating. Continuous operation is supported up to an ambient temperature of 45 °C, and integrated sensors initiate derating if this threshold is approached. The front panel provides two USB ports for removable media, three RS-232 channels for legacy devices, and one RS-422 link for differential signaling. Network traffic is handled by an RJ45 10/100 Base-T interface, while visualization signals leave the unit through a 15-pin HD-Sub VGA connector. Mechanical endurance against production-floor vibration extends to 150 Hz, allowing installation close to stamping or milling equipment without additional dampers. A minimum 30 GB hard disk is required to store the real-time operating system and application files.

During transport or idle storage, the hardware tolerates temperatures from -20 °C to 60 °C, so spares can be kept in non-conditioned warehouses. Functional altitude capability reaches 2000 m, matching typical plant elevations. Shock resistance is verified at 15 g for 11-millisecond pulses, protecting the internal boards during handling and panel mounting. The steel chassis weighs 6.1 kg, which is relevant for swing-arm or cabinet door mounting. The onboard serial, USB, and display connections support standard peripheral and HMI wiring.
