VAM42.1-PB-NF-AB-TB-VD-EK-1608-D1

The VAM42.1-PB-NF-AB-TB-VD-EK-1608-D1 operator panel by Bosch Rexroth Indramat belongs to the VAM Machine Operator Panels series and delivers robust machine control in a compact form factor. It features a motherboard with 16 inputs and 8 outputs and an integrated PROFIBUS-DP encoder interface for real-time communication. Ten dedicated assembly breakouts accommodate switch elements up to 25 mm in diameter, while the built-in emergency stop function conforms to stringent safety protocols. This panel is purpose-engineered for CNC and industrial automation applications demanding precise operator feedback.

Constructed with a rugged housing measuring 102 × 350 × 240 mm and weighing just 1.4 kg, the device minimizes panel footprint without sacrificing durability. A mounting cutout of 208 × 375 mm ensures rapid installation, and a rear clearance of 50 mm facilitates cable routing and passive cooling. The electronic key system supports a data transmission rate of 9.6 kbaud over the 3964R protocol, with contact switching capacities up to 2 nF and 50 mA per output. Certified to CSA and UL standards with an overvoltage category II rating, it also endures ambient temperatures from –20 °C to +60 °C and a semiconductor relay differential time of 200 ms.

Seamless integration into Rexroth control architectures is achieved via plug-and-play PROFIBUS-DP connectivity and modular override VD modules with rotary switches. The design’s maintenance-free construction, cyclic self-test of the emergency stop, and one-year warranty ensure exceptional reliability. Ideal for high-precision CNC machine panels, the VAM42.1 unit streamlines operator workflows while delivering industrial-grade performance and global shipping resilience.
