Rexroth MTS-P01.2-D2-B1-NN-NN-NN-FW Indramat PLC Control Module

Description

Product Introduction

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat MTS-P01.2-D2-B1-NN-NN-NN-FW is a high-performance central processor card belonging to the legacy MTS modular control platform. Engineered for demanding multi-axis CNC machines and automated transfer lines, this module integrates sequence PLC control with complex motion trajectories, interfacing seamlessly with Indramat DIAX04 and System 200 drive architectures.

By centralizing axis sync and machine I/O processing onto a single robust rack-mounted board, the MTS-P01.2-D2-B1-NN-NN-NN-FW eliminates microsecond bus delays common in distributed setups. Its configurable daughterboard slots allow custom fieldbus handshakes—specifically handling high-speed SERCOS real-time fiber optics alongside fieldbus networking—ensuring tight loop execution without field-level communication bottlenecks.

Key Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios & The “Trench” Experience

Picture this: It’s 3:45 AM on a holiday weekend, and a massive 5-axis automotive stamping gantry loses its central bus synchronization, freezing the line with an unrecoverable F208 SERCOS interface error. System diagnostics trace the fault directly to a corrupted processor ASIC on the main MTS board. Every minute this stamping cell sits idle costs $8,500 in lost production output, and modern Rexroth drive lines won’t fit into the existing panel footprint without months of costly control cabinet rewiring. Having a pre-tested, direct-fit MTS-P01.2-D2-B1 board ready to drop into the rack isn’t just convenient—it saves your entire shift’s production quota.

• Automotive Stamping & Transfer Lines – Controls multi-axis part transfer shuttles needing tight optical SERCOS drive synchronization.
• CNC Metal Forming Equipment – Executes complex interpolation for multi-axis bending press brakes.
• High-Speed Woodworking & Gantry Systems – Coordinates multi-head routing spindles requiring immediate fieldbus handshake via DeviceNet.

Transparency SOP: Quality Assurance & Testing

We don’t ship untested electronic boards and hope for the best. Every Rexroth MTS card undergoes a strict 5-stage bench validation process:

1. Visual & Structural Audit: Microscopic inspection of surface-mount components, edge connectors, thermal trace conditions, and board mounting rails.
2. Backplane Bus Powered Self-Test: Inserted into an authentic Indramat rack system to confirm internal power rails, onboard logic bootup, and status LED sequences.
3. SERCOS Fiber Loop Test: Fiber optic lines connected to test drives; verified real-time ring communications without packet drops or signal attenuation.
4. Fieldbus Communication Handshake: DeviceNet port exercised under master/slave I/O simulation to verify network response times and memory register integrity.
5. ESD Handling & Security Packaging: Cleared boards receive anti-static conformal bags and dense custom-molded foam boxes for safe global transit.

The Veteran’s Tech Trap Guide (Crucial Value-Add)

⚠️ The Firmware Chip Swap Trap: This MTS board uses external socketed firmware (EPROMs or firmware memory modules denoted by the -FW suffix). If you drop a new board into the rack without transferring the original machine firmware chip or loading the exact matching firmware version, the controller will halt with a firmware mismatch error. Always move the original firmware socketed chip to the replacement board!

❗ Inspect Fiber Port Ferrules: The optical SERCOS connections (B1 interface) are extremely sensitive to microscopic oil and dust contamination. Before plugging the fiber cables back into the new card, clean the tips with isopropyl alcohol and visual lint-free swabs. A dirty optical connector will trigger intermittent F208 or F209 communication breaks under full machine vibration.

⚠️ Watch Out for DIP Switch Configurations: To be honest, half of the technical support calls we handle come down to forgotten onboard DIP switches. Take a photo of the jumper positions and address switches on the old board before pulling it out. Match them byte-for-byte on the replacement unit!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ for Conversion)

Q: Is the MTS-P01.2-D2-B1-NN-NN-NN-FW card hot-swappable during rack operation?

A: No. Pulling this module out of the backplane while the system rack power supply is energized will induce voltage transients, ruining the backplane connector pins and permanently corrupting onboard logic chips. Always de-energize the entire rack and wait for bus capacitors to bleed off.

Q: Does this unit ship with pre-installed operating firmware?

A: The -FW designation indicates that the board relies on modular firmware. Unless specifically ordered with a particular software release build, you must transfer your original system firmware module/chip onto this replacement card prior to commissioning.

Q: What is the difference between an MTS-P01.1 and an MTS-P01.2 version?

A: The .2 represents the second hardware revision level by Indramat. While .2 boards generally offer backward compatibility for system racks, they feature updated internal component layouts and optimized bus processing. Check your OEM documentation to confirm system cabinet firmware support.

Q: What warranty coverage do you provide on this surplus Rexroth module?

A: We provide a full 12-month operational warranty. If the card exhibits memory bus faults, fieldbus communication drops, or hardware boot errors within one year of installation, we will provide an immediate replacement or a complete refund.

Q: Why purchase surplus legacy parts instead of upgrading to Rexroth IndraControl?

A: Upgrading an entire legacy Indramat system to IndraControl or modern ctrlX platforms requires replacing drives, motors, cabling, and re-writing PLC programs from scratch—costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sourcing a fully tested surplus MTS module gets your existing machinery up and running in minutes at a fraction of the cost.
