VT-5014 S32

Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactured the VT-5014 S32. The programmable ramp time on the VT-5014 S32 IO card (part of the VT-5000 family) controls the temporal characteristics of the output signal transitions. This range determines how fast or slow the output voltages or currents change from 30 milliseconds to 1 or 5 seconds with a tolerance of ±20%. Ramp time is essentially the signal slew rate in electrical terms. Faster signal transitions are associated with shorter ramp times for quicker mechanical response. This is critical in high-speed automation where there is no delay allowed. A longer slope is for smoother transitions, which reduces hydraulic surges, mechanical stress and component life. System designers can fine-tune the machine dynamics by adjusting this parameter to balance stability and responsiveness according to the application requirements.

The VT-5014 S32 produces an output voltage of ±9V with a very tight tolerance of ±1%. For devices like analog sensors or certain types of actuators that need symmetrical power rails to work correctly, this bipolar voltage supply is essential. Minimum voltage drift is a key component of reliable automation system performance and is ensured by tight regulation even in the presence of fluctuating input or load conditions. Functional abnormalities like incorrect signal interpretation or even component failure can occur if the voltage is out of range. From a design perspective, this means a well-designed internal power conditioning architecture probably includes low noise regulators, stable feedback loops and precision reference circuits. The IO card keeps the signal integrity by providing clean and stable power to downstream devices, which is necessary for determinism and repeatability of industrial processes.

With a weight of 0.15 kg, the VT-5014 S32 is small and light. Although this may seem insignificant it has big implications in mechanical and systems engineering. Lighter parts are easier to install and put less stress on the support structure, especially in DIN rail-mounted or enclosed industrial enclosures. Lower mass means less inertia, which can improve dynamic response and save energy in motion-intensive applications like autonomous guided vehicles or robotic arms. This mechanical benefit is big in systems that need frequent and fast acceleration and deceleration. A 32-pin male connector, according to DIN 41612, design D specification - the standard interface for electrical signal routing is used to connect the card. Multiple sensors, actuators and control modules can communicate simultaneously because of this connector format's dense I/O channel layout in a small footprint. The VT-5014 S32 can be integrated with a wide range of compatible hardware without modification or special wiring because of the widespread use of the DIN 41612 standard in modular industrial systems.
