Product Description:

The VPB40.3D1M-2G0NN-D4D-DE-NN-FW is an industrial PC unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the VPB IndraControl PC Units series. As a panel-mount controller, it hosts the embedded operating system and runtime software that coordinate motion, I/O, and visualization tasks on automated lines. Its purpose is to centralize real-time control while allowing standard IT connectivity and bridging machinery with higher-level supervisory networks.

This unit is driven by a Core i5-520M 2.4 GHz processor, giving deterministic multitasking for control loops and HMI services. The installed 2 GB of DDR3 memory holds the operating system, PLC project, and buffer data for fieldbus exchanges. Program and recipe files reside on a 320 GB rotating hard disk, providing local storage for historical logs and diagnostic images. Field integration is handled through two independent Gigabit interfaces rated at 2 × 1 Gbit/s, enabling separate machine and plant networks. Six front-accessible USB receptacles, listed as 6 × USB 2.0, support service sticks, backup drives, and license dongles without opening the cabinet. Expansion cards such as fieldbus adapters or specialized I/O can be inserted in four PCI slots, while a DVD burner supports software loading and data archiving. A single CDI serial interface allows connection to legacy devices.

The PC operates from a stabilized 24 V DC supply, simplifying integration in low-voltage control cabinets. Its enclosure meets IP20, so installation is limited to clean, protected environments. Mechanical resilience includes shock tolerance up to 15 g and vibration endurance of 1 g, helping protect stored data and internal assemblies during transport or use on machines with moderate dynamics. The housing measures 321 mm in height, 92 mm in width, and 181 mm in depth, which helps the unit fit shallow racks. Internal airflow keeps components within thermal limits during operation. Continuous power draw is 160 W under nominal load.
