Product Description

Bosch Rexroth designed the compact HNC100 digital axis control units to meet the specific requirements for controlling hydraulic drives. However, they can also be used in the control of electric drives. The programmable NC control devices for a closed-loop controlled axis are used in machine tools and rail-bound vehicles.

The VT-HNC100-2-2X/W-16-0-0 is a model of the HNC100, Component 2X digital axis control units designed and manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. It is equipped with 16 digital inputs and outputs each and a 16/32 Bit MC68376 processor chip for effective data manipulation. Its housing design allows the rack installation kind of mounting, and it works with the incremental and absolute (SSI) measuring systems. This device’s operation requires a nominal operating voltage between 18V DC and 36V DC, while its power consumption rating is 8W. It is built for two hydraulic axes and weighs 1.2kg. Some impressive features confer high durability on the device include interference immunity, mechanical resistance to shock and vibration, and climatic tolerance. Hence, it can be safely used in harsh industrial environments.

With the smart WIN-PED 5 software tool for PC, the VT-HNC100-2-2X/W-16-0-0 can be configured and parameterized. This tool works by creating application-specific datasets which are sent to the device via its RS232 serial interface. This serial interface has a maximum Baud rate of 9 KBaud. There are several monitoring functions in this HNC model to protect it from harmful conditions. These include dynamic following error monitoring, assessment of range limits for electronic limit switches, and cable break monitoring for incremental and SSI encoders. The control unit’s controller functions include position control, pressure/force control, and velocity control. This unit can be shipped globally with a one-year warranty period from Wake Industrial.
