Product Description:

The VT-HNC100-C-3X-C-S-00-000 is a digital axis controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the VT-HNC Digital Axis Controllers series. This unit is the compact version for one axis, enabling closed-loop hydraulic or electromechanical positioning without an integrated fieldbus because it is supplied without a bus connection. In production cells, it handles motion sequencing and real-time interpolation by processing analog and digital feedback from sensors and drives. It is commonly used to coordinate presses, laboratory test rigs, and material-handling stations.

Signal handling on the controller is distributed across 2 analog current inputs, 1 analog voltage input, and 2 analog voltage outputs, providing separate channels for pressure command, position target, and valve drive signals. Four static process flags are accepted through 4 digital inputs, while actuator or status lines are issued on 2 digital outputs. The internal power stage limits residual ripple to 1.5 Vpp, helping protect low-level encoder or transducer data from distortion. Mounting follows the 35 mm rail profile in EN 60715, which allows quick installation in control cabinets alongside auxiliary I/O modules.

Dedicated encoder terminals supply 24 V DC encoder supply for auxiliary power and 5 V DC encoder logic, enabling direct connection of incremental or absolute feedback devices. An additional 24 V DC sensor auxiliary feed is available for external limit switches, and the controller uses an RS232 serial port for parameter loading or diagnostics when a higher-level bus is unavailable. Electrical protection corresponds to IP20, and the device is part of component series 3 within the HNC100 product group. The controller does not include an inductive position sensor, allowing the machine to use a transducer suited to the application.
