Product Description:

The VSP40.1BIE-1G0NN-C1C-AE-NN-FW is an operator terminal manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VSP IndraControl Terminals series. It serves as the user interface layer in automated cells, allowing machine operators to issue commands, view process variables, and access diagnostic data without opening the electrical cabinet. This arrangement keeps routine interaction at the front of the machine while the control hardware remains enclosed. It can also present status pages and alarm information in a single location during normal operation.

Its front panel integrates a 15 in TFT display with a native resolution of 1024 x 768, and it can render 256,000 colors. This screen size gives adequate area for multiple status windows, while the pixel density maintains legibility for detailed graphics. The TFT technology provides consistent brightness and contrast across wide viewing angles, which is useful on production floors where operators move between stations. Network connectivity is provided through an RJ45 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port so the terminal can link to PLC networks or plant servers. Two Type-A USB ports are available for service keyboards, backup drives, or barcode readers, and sixteen machine function keys permit rapid access to frequently used commands without relying solely on menu navigation.

For physical integration, the aluminum front plate meets IP65, blocking dust and water jets when the unit is mounted flush in a cabinet door. A height of 370 mm and a width of 407 mm set the required panel space, simplifying mechanical planning. Behind the bezel, the PC section carries an IP00 rating, so enclosure ventilation must be considered during cabinet design. Six PCI slots allow installation of motion cards or proprietary fieldbus adapters, while the 25-pin parallel connector, 9-pin RS-232 port, and 15-pin VGA socket support legacy printer, point-to-point, and external monitor connections. The unit does not include a touch screen, so operator input depends on the function keys and any peripherals attached through the available interfaces.
