The VT 5001 S23 IO card by Bosch Rexroth Indramat is part of the acclaimed VT-5000 IO Cards series, combining compact design with robust functionality. Engineered for industrial automation, it operates on 24 VDC (+40%/-5%) inputs to accommodate fluctuating power conditions. The card measures 100 x 160 mm in a Euro-card format compliant with DIN 41494, and it connects via a 32-pin male, DIN 41612 Form D interface. A built-in regulated output provides ±19 V ±1% up to ±25 mA, while each driver channel delivers a 5 V amplitude signal per output with a 30 mA maximum load. Weighing approximately 0.15 kg, the VT 5001 S23 integrates seamlessly into high-density control systems where space and weight are at a premium.
The VT 5001 S23 delivers precise timing and control through its clock frequency of up to 1.5 kHz and an oscillator frequency of 2.5 kHz ±10%, enabling high-speed switching for solenoid operations. Users can program a ramp time from 30 ms to 5 s (±20%) to tailor current profiles for specific loads. Two solenoid driver variants are available: Imax 1.8 A (±20%), R20=5.4 Ω or Imax 2.2 A (±20%), R20=10 Ω, providing flexibility for a range of actuators. Command and feedback monitoring ports support voltage measurements of 0–7.6 V (Ri=100 Ω) and 0–6.6 V (Ri=100 Ω) respectively, enabling real-time evaluation of control signals and positional data. The card’s 32-pin DIN 41612 Form D connector ensures reliable electrical connections even under high-vibration conditions, while the low impedance design guarantees minimal signal degradation.
Designed for demanding environments, the VT 5001 S23 operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50 °C. It occupies 3 HE (128.4 mm) of front-panel height with 7 TE component-side width and 1 TE (5.08 mm) solder-side width, facilitating integration into standard rack systems. Conforming to DIN 41494 standards, the card mounts securely and interfaces directly with existing control backplanes. Its rugged design and precision regulation make it ideal for industrial automation applications such as hydraulic valve control, packaging machinery, and process regulation. Bosch Rexroth Indramat’s quality assurance ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability in mission-critical installations.
