Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat builds the VPB40.3D1L-2G0NN-D4D-DE-NN-FW as part of the VPB IndraControl PC Units series. The unit is a panel-mount embedded controller that hosts machine-level software, executes motion programs, and interfaces with drives and I/O over Ethernet-based fieldbus networks. By combining processor, memory, and industrial connectors in a compact housing that is 205 mm high, 110 mm wide, and 181 mm deep, it serves as the computational core of automated packaging lines, printing presses, and material-handling systems. Its layout supports dense cabinet integration where control hardware, network connections, and local data storage must share limited space.

It uses a 2.4 GHz Core i5-520M processor, so cyclic control tasks and HMI services run on two physical cores with Hyper-Threading for deterministic response. The system board carries 2 GB of DDR3 RAM, allowing real-time operating systems to cache process data and diagnostic logs without swap delays. Program and recipe files reside on a 320 GB HDD, and the magnetic drive provides enough space for long-term data retention and image backups. Six front-accessible ports provide 6 × USB 2.0 connectivity for service keyboards, barcode scanners, or memory sticks, while two independent NICs deliver 2 × 1 Gbit/s Ethernet for separated machine and plant networks. Two internal PCI slots remain free, so additional interface cards can be installed when an application requires a specialized fieldbus or feedback connection.

Incoming power is a regulated 24 V DC feed, so the controller can share the same supply rail as sensors and actuators inside the cabinet. At peak load it draws up to 160 W, which is useful when sizing power distribution and backup capacity for the control section. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, which limits installation to closed electrical cabinets with controlled airflow. With a mass of 2.6 kg, the housing is easy to place in compact control enclosures, and the stated dimensions help reserve room for cable bends, ventilation paths, and adjacent automation hardware.
