VT-HNC100-1-14/132

Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat makes the VT-HNC100-1-14/132. The Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT-HNC100-1-14/132 digital axis controller is built to handle two signal-processing tasks at once. That's thanks to its two-channel control design. What this means is that you can manage multiple actuators or synchronize multi-axis control in real time—dramatically boosting throughput in the process. High-performance automation applications rely on precise coordination and real-time responsiveness. Each channel functions as an independent control loop to deliver that. You can run the controller in one of two modes: a normalized 4-20 mA range and a non-normalized ±23 mA output. The 4-20 mA range is a standard for industrial signaling because it can withstand electrical noise and maintain integrity over long wire lengths. That full-scale instruction is represented by 20 mA, while the baseline signal is usually four mA to prevent any ambiguity in fault detection. The ±23 mA capability gives you more current drive flexibility for applications that need it. The maximum permissible load resistance of 500 ohms limits that output current, governed by Ohm's law.

That level of precision is exactly what you need for fine-grained control over voltage-driven actuators. The VT-HNC100 controller delivers an analog output resolution of 1.25 millivolts. That's essential for accurate and seamless mechanical changes. Systems that depend on progressive ramping or precise position tweaking will benefit from this level of precision. Even minute changes in command translate into precise physical reactions. Voltage non-linearity—where the actual output deviates from an ideal linear function—is defined as a maximum of 15 millivolts within the -9.5 V to +9.5 V span and 35 millivolts outside of it. Low non-linearity reduces distortion in the control signal, making actuator behavior more predictable and repeatable system response more reliable. The controller's data connection interfaces cover both serial and industrial fieldbus standards. That means you can integrate it into automation networks in a flexible way. Device setup and simple data interchange are supported via its RS232 interface, which runs at 9.6 kilobits per second.

You can also opt for interfaces like Profibus DP (up to 12 megabits per second), CANopen or INTERBUS-S to integrate with PLCs, HMIs and other intelligent devices for real-time industrial communication. A 200 kilohm input resistance keeps sensor loading low, and four differential voltage input channels rated at ±10 volts with a tolerance of up to ±15 volts manage the collection of analog signals. The five millivolts resolution lets you capture detailed analog signals. Four current input channels with a 100-ohm input impedance and a five-microamp resolution handle 4-20 mA signals. The device supports incremental and inductive position transducers with high-frequency compatibility and integrated encoder supply choices. That means you can get precise, real-time position feedback with linearity errors maintained under 0.1 percent. The operating temperature range is strong at 0-50 degrees Celsius. Internal reference voltages of ±10 volts with 25 millivolts precision and up to 20 mA output are built in to assist with analog operations and signal conditioning.
