VT-5005 S11

The VT-5005 S11 is a high-performance plug-in IO card from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the VT-5000 IO Cards series, designed to meet demanding industrial automation requirements. This amplifier module operates on a nominal Supply Voltage of 24 V DC, providing robust performance with a power envelope of Power Consumption < 50 VA and Current Consumption < 2 A. With a compact Dimensions of 120 x 80 x 20 mm and a lightweight form factor of Weight 0.5 kg, the VT-5005 S11 is optimized for space-constrained control cabinets. The module’s design supports a broad Operating Temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments while delivering precision control for proportional solenoids.

Technical capabilities of the VT-5005 S11 include a versatile Signal Type: Analog (voltage/current based input and output) interface, accommodating standard 0–10 V command inputs with a Clock Frequency of 5.25 kHz ± 10% for PWM-driven solenoid regulation. Electrical protection is provided by a 2.5 A time-lag fuse and built-in Protection Type: Overload and short circuit protection, safeguarding both the module and downstream components. The solenoid drive stage features a Coil Resistance of 215 Ω and supports a solenoid output current of 1.8 A ± 20%. Connectivity is handled via a robust Connector Type: 32-pin male multi-point connector, ensuring secure signal and power transmission in high-vibration environments. Precise enable/disable thresholds (active >8.5 V, inactive <6.5 V) and a reference voltage of 9 V guarantee deterministic control behavior in closed-loop applications.

Operational features of this amplifier module include a Mounting: DIN rail or panel mounting configuration and an Installation: Plug-in module configuration for rapid serviceability and ease of maintenance. The front-panel profile conforms to the euro-card standard (100 mm × 160 mm) with a height of 3 HE (128.4 mm) and width of 7 TE (35.56 mm), allowing seamless integration into standard rack systems. The VT-5005 S11’s natural thermal management and efficient electrical design facilitate continuous operation without forced cooling, while its compact dimensions simplify wiring and reduce mechanical footprint. Engineers benefit from the module’s intuitive status indicators and clearly labeled connectors, which streamline troubleshooting and commissioning in complex automation infrastructures.

In terms of integration and applications, the VT-5005 S11 amplifier module is ideally suited for proportional control of solenoids in hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems, machine tools, motion control platforms, and heavy machinery. Its analog control interface and industry-standard connector allow straightforward pairing with PLCs, motion controllers, and distributed I/O architectures. Whether deployed on a DIN rail in a control cabinet or mounted directly to panels driving hydraulic valves, this IO card enhances system responsiveness and precision. The module’s rugged design and comprehensive protection features make it a reliable choice for industrial automation, ensuring long-term performance even under extreme operating conditions.
