The VT 5016-S37 is an analog I/O card from Bosch Rexroth Indramat’s VT-5000 IO Cards series, designed to operate on a 24 V DC supply with tolerance from 21.6 to 33.6 V (±40%/–10%). It draws a nominal 0.6 A with a maximum consumption of 1.25 A, ensuring efficient power management in industrial automation systems. The front plate measures Height 128.4 mm (3 HE) by Width 7 TE, providing a compact footprint for modular control racks. With an onboard oscillator frequency of 5.4 kHz, the VT 5016-S37 maintains stable timing for accurate signal processing. Analog outputs deliver up to 2.5 A solenoid current, enabling direct drive of proportional valves and actuators. These primary specifications make the module ideal for precision control in demanding industrial environments.
Performance is enhanced by multiple high-impedance inputs, including Pressure Command Value Input 0…10 V; Re > 50 kΩ and Actual Pressure Value Input 0…5 V, 0…10 V; Re > 50 kΩ for real-time feedback. Standard swivel angle command inputs accept ±10 V; Re > 50 kΩ, while a regenerative swivel angle input handles 0…10 V; Re > 50 kΩ for flexible control strategies. Outputs for actual swivel angle range from –10 V to +10 V (–100% to +100%), offering precise position monitoring. An auxiliary voltage of ±15 V (+2%, –6%); Imax 10 mA powers secondary electronics with high stability. The card’s electrical characteristics, such as Lower Limit Voltage 21 V and Upper Limit Voltage 35 V, guarantee operation under fluctuating bus conditions. The robust Analog Output – Solenoid Current Imax 2.5 A; R20 = 2 Ω specification ensures consistent actuation performance.
Built for seamless integration, the VT 5016-S37 conforms to Euro-card 100 x 160 mm; DIN 41494 standards and mounts easily into VT-5000 enclosures. The compact card dimensions and standardized front plate facilitate quick replacement and system expansion. Designed for industrial automation, it provides a reliable analog interface for hydraulic proportional valves, servo drives, and process controllers. High input resistance and wide voltage tolerance ensure immunity to noise and voltage spikes, enhancing long-term reliability. Applications include mobile machinery control, plastics processing, and machine tool automation where precise analog output control and multiple command inputs are paramount.
