Product Description:

The VT-HNC100-2-2X-M-16-C-0 digital axis controller from Bosch Rexroth Indramat belongs to the VT-HNC Digital Axis Controllers series. It is part of the HNC100 product line and is built to command up to two hydraulic axes in centralized or distributed motion systems. By converting reference voltages into precise command signals and exchanging position data over fieldbus networks, the unit coordinates servo-hydraulic cylinders, valves, and feedback devices in presses, machining centers, and handling equipment. Its control structure supports repeatable axis movement where hydraulic response must remain closely matched to the commanded profile.

Internally, the controller provides 4 analog input channels with an acquisition granularity of 5 mV, allowing closed-loop monitoring of pressure or displacement transducers. On the output side, it generates four voltage channels with a step size of 1.25 mV so proportional valve currents can be trimmed finely within the ±10 V command range. A block of 16 digital I/O lines manages limit switches and status bits for this two-axis version, while the deterministic CANopen interface links the module to higher-level PLCs. The ±10 V reference voltage, the lack of onboard evaluation electronics, and the option to operate without an inductive position sensor allow the controller to work with external signal-conditioning hardware selected for the application.

Housed for rack installation, the controller belongs to component series 2 and measures 106.5 mm wide, 155 mm high, and 204 mm deep, so it fits compact control cabinets. Its mass is only 1.2 kg, which keeps handling simple and reduces mechanical load on the rack structure. Power consumption remains at 8 W, and the electronics accept a supply of 18 to 36 VDC, allowing operation from common control power sources and buffered DC systems. This operating range supports steady integration in hydraulic automation panels where control power must remain available during short supply disturbances.
