Product Description:

The VPB40.3D1M-2G0NN-D2D-EE-NN-FW is an embedded PC unit manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VPB IndraControl PC Units series. In machine-level automation, it operates as a compact control platform that hosts HMI tasks, fieldbus communication, and motion logic, linking drives and sensors to higher-level networks while fitting directly into the control cabinet. By combining control, visualization, and communication functions in one enclosure, the unit supports centralized processing without requiring a separate industrial computer elsewhere in the system.

This unit runs from a 24 V DC supply and its internal electronics draw up to 160 W, which helps set power requirements for the cabinet and any backup supply. Two Gigabit Ethernet channels rated at 2 x 1 Gbit/s support high-speed data exchange with programmable logic controllers and plant networks. Four rear-accessible 4 x PCI expansion slots accommodate specialized interface or fieldbus cards so the controller can be adapted to specific machine tasks. Mass storage is mirrored through 2 x 320 GB HDD (RAID1), and the RAID arrangement helps the system remain available if one drive stops operating.

Six front-mounted 6 x USB 2.0 connectors allow temporary connection of backup media, wireless adapters, or security dongles without opening the enclosure. The installed RAM is 2 GB, which supports real-time operating systems that run visualization, diagnostics, and soft-PLC functions at the same time. Its housing carries an IP20 rating, so it is intended for installation inside a protected cabinet, and a vibration resistance of 1 g helps protect electronics in typical factory environments. Physical dimensions of 321 mm high, 92 mm wide, and 181 mm deep, together with a weight of 3.3 kg, support compact panel placement, while a DVD burner, a single CDI serial port, and a DVI monitor output expand local data access and display options.
