VT-SWKA2-5-1X/V0/0

The VT-SWKA2-5-1X/V0/0 belongs to the VT-SWMA Modules series from Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is a plug-in control module that slides into a standardized rack system and routes low-level commands to downstream actuators and sensors in automated machinery. By combining rack-mount dimensions with 24 V logic handling, the board provides a compact interface between PLC backplanes and field devices. Its card-based design also reduces the amount of discrete wiring required inside industrial control cabinets.

The board connects to the backplane through a DIN 41612-F32 connector, providing pin compatibility with suitable Eurocard cages. Each digital input has an impedance of 2 kΩ and accepts a nominal input level of 24 V DC. These input characteristics limit the load placed on source drivers while supporting common industrial control voltages. For analog drive references, the card provides fixed command outputs of ±10 V, allowing compatible speed or position drives to receive calibrated reference signals without external scaling. The front plate is 7 TE wide, helping conserve rack space for adjacent cards. A nominal 24 V DC supply powers the internal electronics and supports integration with standard control power systems.

An external input impedance of 100 kΩ accommodates high-impedance voltage sources while minimizing the electrical load placed on sensitive transducers. Maximum current consumption is limited to 350 mA, which helps control thermal loading in densely packed enclosures. The board uses a 100 × 160 mm Eurocard footprint that fits standard card guides and rack-mounted control assemblies. It can supply up to 100 mA to external potentiometers, allowing manual signal adjustment without overloading the onboard regulator. The module has a mass of 0.33 kg, which adds little weight to the supporting rack. Its plug-in format permits direct access from the front of the rack when connections or adjustments must be inspected.
