Product Description:

The VT-HNC100-1-2X-W-08-C-0-INK2 is a digital axis controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the VT-HNC Digital Axis Controllers series. It is designed to execute closed-loop motion control for hydraulic machinery, replacing discrete analog cards with programmable numerical control functions. By integrating directly with proportional or servo valves, the device enables coordinated positioning, speed, and pressure regulation on compact industrial stations. This approach suits hydraulic presses, forming machines, and similar equipment that needs stable control of moving cylinders or other hydraulic actuators.

Its configuration targets a single hydraulic motion channel. The axis version supports 1 hydraulic axis, and the onboard logic samples analog transducers through 4 current input channels while driving up to 2 current outputs for valve control. Additional measurement is possible through 4 voltage inputs, and the controller can issue 4 voltage outputs for auxiliary actuators or reference signals. Eight bidirectional lines provide 8 digital I/O for limit switches, interlocks, or status flags. For high-resolution encoder feedback, the incremental interface processes pulses up to 250 kHz, allowing precise position tracking even on fast cylinders, and this data is processed by a 16/32-bit MC68376 microprocessor that runs the internal NC kernel.

The aluminum housing measures 71 × 155 × 204 mm and includes wall-mounting flanges for compact installation. It weighs 1.0 kg and draws only 8 W from the 24 V supply, which helps limit panel heat in dense control cabinets. A dedicated connector provides CANopen fieldbus access for coordination with a host PLC, and the unit belongs to component series 2 within the HNC100 control family. Two counter inputs extend the position capture capabilities, and the design omits an internal inductive position sensor so that external displacement transducers can be selected for the application.
