VAM12.1-PB-NF-AB-TB-VD-EK-1608-D1

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat VAM12.1-PB-NF-AB-TB-VD-EK-1608-D1 from the VAM Machine Operator Panels series combines a Masterboard: 16 inputs and 8 outputs with a PROFIBUS-DP Encoder and an Other Design: Available option in a rugged, modular package. This operator panel features four long-stroke buttons and two rotary switches for precise spindle and feed overrides, all housed behind a colorless anodized aluminum front with a durable polyester foil overlay. A 25-pin connector on the rear interfaces to hand-held terminals while a dedicated 6-pin connector supports an optional handwheel. Certified for integration into CNC environments, the unit includes 16 digital 24 V inputs and meets industrial communication requirements.

The panel’s protection is rated degree of protection: 1 per DIN EN 50178, ensuring reliability in controlled machine-room conditions. Power demands peak at maximum current consumption: 1.7 A and emergency stop functionality is secured with a 0.8 Nm tightening-torque switch. Ambient operation spans +5 °C to +45 °C and the unit is both UL Listed and CSA Certified for North American compliance. Internally, the VAC 30.2 connection module and Override VD module provide flexible I/O expansion without compromising maintenance-free operation. The design code 1 and line code 12 simplify panel identification and spare-parts tracking in serial installations.

Operator interface is enhanced by a 5×3 keypad matrix with green LED backlighting that can be custom-labeled for specific functions. Automatic baud-rate detection supports up to 10 PROFIBUS-DP rates, streamlining commissioning and reducing configuration errors. Backed by a one-year warranty, the VAM12.1-PB-NF-AB-TB-VD-EK-1608-D1 delivers a robust, field-proven solution for demanding machine-tool applications.
