The Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT 5005 S12 IO card delivers robust industrial automation capabilities as a member of the VT-5000 IO Cards series, engineered for seamless integration in contemporary control environments. This module supports an operating voltage range of 22 V (min) to 35 V (max) with a nominal 24 VDC (+40% / -5%) supply, providing reliable power tolerance. The design maintains a compact Euro-card format of 100 x 160 mm and weighs only 0.15 kg, enabling installation in confined spaces and standardized racks. With power consumption of less than 50 VA and current draw capped at less than 2 A, the VT 5005 S12 minimizes energy costs while ensuring consistent performance across industrial applications. Its sturdy 32-pin male multi-point connector (DIN 41 612, form D) facilitates secure, low-noise signal transmission under heavy use.
The card’s technical architecture incorporates a self-clocking mechanism capable of delivering a clock frequency up to approximately 1.5 kHz, synchronized by an onboard oscillator operating at 2.5 kHz ±10%. Signal conditioning is provided through a regulated output of ±9 V ±1%, supporting external loads up to ±25 mA. Command-value inputs on the measuring socket accept voltages from 0 to ±16 V with an input impedance of 100 Ω, while the transducer driver output sustains a maximum load capability of 30 mA. Overcurrent protection is ensured by a 2.5 A time-delay fuse, and solenoid actuation is accommodated with a maximum current of 1.8 A ±20% at a coil resistance of 5.4 Ω (R(20)). The voltage amplitude per output channel is maintained at 5 V, guaranteeing consistent logic levels across I/O points.
Operational excellence is achieved through efficient power management and minimal thermal dissipation, owing to the
Designed for plug-and-play implementation, the VT 5005 S12 interfaces seamlessly with Bosch Rexroth Indramat control units and standard DIN-rail or rack-mounted infrastructures. Its comprehensive specification set aligns with the rigorous demands of industrial automation, including process control, discrete manufacturing, and packaging machinery. System integrators benefit from simplified wiring via the 32-pin connector and the module’s adherence to established DIN standards, reducing commissioning time. The VT 5005 S12 is ideally suited for environments where precision I/O handling and energy efficiency are critical, such as assembly lines, robotics interfaces, and distributed control systems.
