VT-5004-24/R1E

Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactured the VT-5003-42/R1E. Long-term stability in industrial automation systems depends on the Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT-5004-24/R1E IO card running in a properly specified electrical environment. It can run between 21V and 33.6V as it is designed to withstand up to +40% and -10% of the nominal 24V DC power supply. However, going beyond 35V might damage the internal components irreparably. In environments with varying line conditions where overvoltage or undervoltage is common, these tolerances are crucial. So transient voltages and long-term electrical stress are taken into account during the design of the card’s electrical architecture to ensure reliable performance and protect the analog control stages and low-voltage logic circuits. Another characteristic of the power profile of the VT-5004-24/R1E is current consumption. The card draws 0.6A in a steady state and up to 1.25A in a transient state, especially when there are heavy signal processing loads or capacitor inrush currents. The power supply design of this device must take into account both normal and high current consumption and include safety features like fast-blow fuses or current limiting circuits.

The interface design of the device is also sophisticated, with a 32-pin male multipoint connector built according to DIN 41 612, form D standard. This standard is widely used in industrial control systems due to its mechanical robustness and reliable electrical performance in high-vibration environments. Granular control is achieved through 32 individual contact points, which can handle multiple analog and digital signal paths through a single connection. This also makes cable routing easier and reduces the chance of signal degradation or electromagnetic interference caused by poorly protected connections. By being compatible with a wide range of current hardware, the standardized layout minimizes integration work and reduces the chance of installation errors or mismatched connectors.

The core function of the VT-5004-24/R1E is analog signal handling. To minimize the loading of upstream signal sources, the card has matching inputs with high input impedance, usually above 50kΩ and outputs 0-10V for pressure control. Symmetric bidirectional control is achieved through ±10V for swivel angle commands, which converts analog voltage to linear actuator motion or valve displacement. Modulation carriers with amplitudes tailored for different control lines are generated by built-in oscillators running at 5.4kHz, which means sophisticated internal current regulation systems like PWM control for solenoid drivers. The power stage can drive high-current solenoids while maintaining electrical and thermal integrity as it can sustain 2.5A at 2Ω.
