Product Description:

The VSB40.1G5E-512NN-C1D-BE-LS-FW is an industrial PC unit manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VSB Industrial PC Units series. It serves as a control and visualization platform for automation lines, allowing machine programs, operator interfaces, and network tasks to run on one hardware node. It is intended for installation inside control cabinets where IP20-rated hardware is acceptable. In automated plants, it acts as the central computing element that links drives, fieldbus modules, and supervisory systems.

The unit is supplied from a 24 V DC source, permitting direct connection to standard control-cabinet power supplies. System memory totals 512 MB of RAM, supporting operating systems and machine-level HMI applications that do not require large graphics buffers. An enclosure rated IP20 safeguards the electronics against solid objects larger than 12 mm but does not provide liquid protection, so the PC must be mounted in a dry space. Reliable service is permitted up to 45 °C ambient temperature, with continuous operation possible down to 5 °C for cooler shop floors. The electronics remain stable at altitudes reaching 2000 m, covering most plant sites without the need for derating. One Ethernet port and one VGA connector provide standard network and display links, while a single G4 display port and a 30 m display-cable allowance support monitor placement away from the cabinet. A DVD ± RW drive is mounted toward the connector side, making software loading and data backup accessible from the wiring face.

Expansion capacity is delivered through a 6 Slot PCI backplane, allowing motion cards, fieldbus adapters, or proprietary I/O boards to be added without an external PC. Mechanical resilience includes a shock tolerance of 5 g and a vibration endurance of 0.25 g, permitting cabinet or machine-frame mounting in moderate dynamic environments. Processing resources come from a Celeron 440 CPU with a minimum speed of 2 GHz, which meets standard cycle-time requirements for logic execution and data logging in packaging, printing, or material-handling equipment. Up to 8 MB of video memory supports basic 2-D graphics on the attached monitor.
