The VT 5005-13 IO card from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is a precision 24 VDC interface module in the VT-5000 IO Cards series, designed for high-performance industrial automation. It operates across a supply voltage of 24 VDC (+40%/–15%) and consumes less than 2 A of current, with an overall power consumption under 50 VA. This compact unit measures 100 × 160 mm as a Euro-card and weighs only 0.15 kg, making it ideal for dense control cabinet layouts. Featuring a rugged 32-pin male connector, DIN 41 612 form D, it ensures reliable signal transmission and compatibility with standard industrial DIN interfaces.
The VT 5005-13 delivers versatile technical capabilities tailored for modern control systems. Its self-clocking oscillator frequency up to approx. 1.5 kHz synchronizes precisely with automation processes, supported by an internal oscillator frequency of 2.5 kHz ±10%. The card provides a driver output amplitude of 5 V per output for driving digital signals, and a regulated auxiliary voltage of ±9 V ±1% (25 mA ext. load) for stable sensor electronics. Solenoid drivers can supply up to 1.8 A ±20% through a 5.4 Ω resistance at 20 °C output stage, allowing robust actuation. Signal conditioning is enhanced by measuring sockets with a range of 0 to ±6 V (Ri = 100 Ω) for command and actual position feedback.
Operational features improve system reliability and ease of maintenance. The VT 5005-13 card maintains performance across an operating ambient temperature from 0 to 50 °C and endures storage between –25 to +85 °C. Its maximum load capability of 30 mA per output ensures consistent driving of external devices without signal degradation. The front panel occupies 3 HE (128.4 mm) height and is configurable in widths of 7 TE (35.56 mm) on the component side or 1 TE (5.08 mm) on the solder side, optimizing rack space. Built to DIN 41 494 standards, the robust assembly resists industrial shocks and vibrations while facilitating tool-free replacements.
Integration into existing automation architectures is straightforward through its standardized Euro-card form factor and DIN rail compatibility. The VT 5005-13 interfaces seamlessly with Bosch Rexroth Indramat controllers and fieldbus modules, supporting plug-and-play configuration and reducing engineering effort. With its combination of precise timing, regulated supply rails, and versatile I/O driver stages, this card is ideally suited to packaging machinery, assembly lines, printing systems, and process control installations. Its reliable connectivity and compact design enable engineers to expand or retrofit systems with minimal disruption.
