CLC-D02.3-FW

The CLC-D02.3-FW from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is part of the CLC Motion Controllers series, offering a second-generation communication card designed for multi-axis, coordinated, and non-coordinated digital motion control. This advanced version builds upon earlier analogue cards to provide enhanced firmware capabilities (indicated by “FW”), superior operational reliability, and high throughput. Developed for mission-critical industrial process automation, the CLC-D02.3-FW delivers robust servo motion control for complex machine architectures.

The CLC-D02.3-FW card features two SERCOS fiber ports that can be configured in various network topologies to coordinate drive motion across multiple dimensions or axes. Two dedicated serial communication ports enable seamless integration with host protocols and provide flexible configuration options. A built-in seven-segment display presents real-time operational status and fault codes, simplifying diagnostic procedures. The module’s architecture supports coordinated motion for up to multiple servo drives, ensuring precise synchronization and responsive control. Manufactured by Rexroth Indramat GmbH (now a Robert Bosch GmbH business unit), this card combines proven German engineering with digital control sophistication.

Compatibility is extensive, as the CLC-D02.3-FW interfaces natively with AC digital control servo drives in the CLC family. Its firmware-centric design ensures future firmware updates can be deployed without hardware changes, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs. The card’s rugged construction and standardized interface conform to typical industrial automation requirements, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments. While production of this model has ceased, its widespread adoption testifies to its efficiency and reliability. Implementing the CLC-D02.3-FW in industrial settings guarantees improved throughput, precise motion coordination, and reduced system downtime, delivering tangible benefits to complex automation processes.
