Product Description:

The VPB40.3-MV-IL-0001 is an embedded control computer produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VPB IndraControl PC Units series. Installed inside a control cabinet, it executes motion logic, visualization, and data exchange tasks that tie servo drives, decentralized I/O, and supervisory networks together on a single platform. The unit targets machine tools, packaging systems, and assembly stations that need deterministic processing while conserving panel space and minimizing heat inside the enclosure. The embedded format lets the controller sit close to drive and I/O hardware, which helps keep internal cabinet wiring short and communication paths direct. By combining control and interface functions in one cabinet-mounted device, it supports compact machine architectures without requiring a separate PC enclosure.

This controller is energized from a 24 V DC supply rail and draws up to 160 W during full processor and interface utilization, so power budgeting must account for this load on the cabinet supply. The housing carries a IP20 rating, limiting installation to dry, clean interiors but permitting convection cooling without external airflow devices. Two gigabit ports, identified as 2 × Ethernet TCP/IP (1 Gbit/s), create the primary channel for PLC peer communication and plant networking, while six downstream ports marked 6 × USB 2.0 support service dongles, data loggers, and operator peripherals. An external UPS input is provided so the system image can be written to non-volatile memory if the 24 V rail collapses unexpectedly.

Fieldbus expansion is handled through a single 1 × CDI serial slot that links to IndraDyn drives or remote modules with low protocol overhead. A maintenance display can be connected to the dedicated 1 × DVI service monitor port, allowing boot diagnostics without occupying the primary HMI network. Mechanical resilience is confirmed by a shock tolerance of 15 g and a continuous vibration limit of 1 g, enabling installation on moving gantries or press frames without additional damping. These motion limits help the controller remain stable when it is mounted on machine sections that transmit cyclic loads and occasional shock.
