BTC06-S

The BTC06-S by Bosch Rexroth Indramat is a robust actuator interface within the BTC06 Manual Control Units series, engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. This compact handheld unit features a 240 x 128 px resolution LCD display with LED backlight, delivering sharp graphical feedback in black-and-white. Weighing a mere 1.3 kg, the polycarbonate enclosure ensures durability without sacrificing portability. Rated to IP65 protection, the BTC06-S remains impervious to dust and water jets when cables are correctly inserted. Its integrated polyester foil 48-key keypad provides tactile precision for operator inputs.

The BTC06-S excels in technical performance with a maximum current consumption of 400 mA and a 24 V DC supply voltage tolerance spanning 20 to 30 V. The display’s visible area of 108 x 58 mm accommodates clear status indicators and menu navigation. Communication versatility is offered through an RS-485/422 combo interface, allowing seamless connection to drive controllers and PLC networks. Galvanically isolated switching circuits feature 2 N/C contacts rated at 2 A DC or 3 A AC (24 V DC/42 V AC), ensuring electrical safety and compliance. The unit operates reliably from 0 to +55 °C across a warranty-backed service life of 1 year.

Operational features include dual emergency-off and reset keys with galvanic separation, providing secure shutdown in critical situations. The tough polycarbonate housing combines thermal stability and mechanical resilience, maintaining performance under vibration and impact. IP65 sealing covers all entry points when the RS-232 protective cap is mounted, safeguarding internal electronics. Users benefit from the polyester foil keyboard’s resistance to contaminants and wear, enabling consistent tactile response even under heavy use. Switching circuits are galvanically isolated to prevent ground loops and enhance system safety.

Integration into machine assemblies is streamlined by two ergonomic form factors: with handle (363 x 180 x 57 mm) or handle removed (315 x 180 x 57 mm), optimizing panel layouts and operator reach. The standardized dimensions facilitate mounting in control cabinets, gantry systems, or mobile trolleys without extensive custom fixtures. With its industrial-grade components, the BTC06-S is ideally suited for CNC machining centers, assembly lines, packaging equipment, and robotics applications, where reliable human-machine interaction is essential. Its comprehensive feature set ensures quick deployment and straightforward interfacing with existing drive controllers.
