VT 5015 S30

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT 5015 S30 IO card, part of the VT-5000 IO Cards series, delivers a versatile input/output interface designed for high-reliability industrial automation. Engineered around a 32-pin male multipoint connector, this compact module interfaces directly with DIN-style multipoint cabling for simplified system wiring. Its adjustable ramp times, programmable from 30 ms to approx. 5 s, enable controlled signal transitions to protect downstream actuators and sensors from current surges or mechanical shocks. Weighing just 0.15 kg, the VT 5015 S30 provides a low-mass solution that minimizes loading in dense control cabinet installations. Manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat, the card is specified for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.

The VT 5015 S30’s mechanical envelope conforms to the Euro-card 100 x 160 mm (DIN 41 494) standard with a front panel height of 3 HE (128.4 mm) and a total width of 8 TE (40.64 mm), ensuring compatibility with standard rack systems. Electrical outputs maintain a voltage amplitude per output of 5 V and a maximum load capability of 30 mA. Solenoid drive options accommodate currents of 1.8 A ±20% with R = 5.4 Ω or 2.2 A ±20% with R = 10 Ω, supporting a broad range of actuators. The regulated voltage supply is specified at ±19 V ±1%, externally loadable with ±25 mA, for stable reference generation. All input measurement sockets feature a 100 Ω input impedance to minimize loading and deliver command signals from 0 to ±7.6 V and actual feedback from 0 to 6.6 V with high fidelity.

Operational performance is governed by a precision quartz-based oscillator operating at 2.5 kHz ±10% and a self-clocking frequency capability up to 1.5 kHz, defining the card’s maximum signal throughput and timing accuracy. Programmable ramp times between 30 ms and approx. 5 s permit fine-tuning of transient response and system time constant for smooth acceleration or deceleration of connected devices. The IO card’s output stage provides overcurrent protection and maintains ±20% tolerance under temperature variations. Ambient conditions from 0 to 50 °C are accommodated without derating, enabling use in factory floors, process lines, or robotic workcells. Installation and maintenance are simplified by clear mounting guides and labeled test points on the solder and component sides.

System integration leverages standard DIN 41 612 form D connectors and adheres to established safety guidelines, instructing users to plug or unplug only when disconnected from the power supply. The module’s VT 5015 S30 form factor and front panel dimensions enable seamless insertion into pre-configured control cabinets. Target applications include valve and solenoid control in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, signal conditioning for encoders and proximity sensors, and general-purpose digital IO in complex machine automation. Compatible with Bosch Rexroth Indramat drive controllers and PLCs, this card provides reliable, repeatable performance in industrial automation architectures.
