Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

The REXROTH PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P1-NN-FW is distinguished by its robust mechanical construction and high-quality display. The aluminum die-cast housing ensures excellent heat dissipation and provides high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and resistance to shock and vibration, making it suitable for installation directly on machinery. The front panel boasts an IP65 rating, allowing it to be cleaned with water and solvents and making it impervious to dust, which is critical for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and metalworking industries. The high-brightness, Full HD display ensures excellent readability even under strong ambient light conditions, while the projected capacitive touch screen offers intuitive and precise multi-touch gesture control.

Computational Power and Seamless Integration: A key advantage of the REXROTH PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P1-NN-FW is its powerful Intel processor architecture. This transforms it from a simple display terminal into a potent industrial computer capable of running complex visualization software, handling data logging, and even executing soft-PLC or motion control runtime systems directly on the same hardware. This integration significantly reduces hardware footprint, wiring costs, and potential failure points. The device comes with a rich set of interfaces, including multiple Ethernet ports for network separation (e.g., plant network and machine network), USB ports for peripherals, and legacy serial ports. Its native integration with the Bosch Rexroth IndraWorks engineering environment simplifies the entire project lifecycle, from configuration and programming to diagnostics and maintenance of the REXROTH PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P1-NN-FW, ensuring maximum productivity for machine builders.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparation: Before installing the REXROTH PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P1-NN-FW, verify that the mounting cutout dimensions in the control panel door are precisely machined according to the datasheet. Ensure the 24 VDC power supply is stable, adequately rated for the unit’s power consumption, and properly fused. The ambient temperature around the installation site should be within the specified operating range to prevent overheating. All necessary communication cables (Ethernet, etc.) should be prepared and routed to the location, taking care to maintain separation from power cables to minimize electrical noise interference.

Maintenance recommendations: The REXROTH PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P1-NN-FW is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular activity should focus on keeping the front screen clean using a soft, damp cloth and approved cleaning agents to maintain optical clarity and touch sensitivity. Ensure that the ventilation openings on the sides and rear of the unit are not obstructed to allow for proper airflow from the internal fan. It is good practice to periodically check the tightness of the mounting seals and the power terminal connections. For the internal solid-state drive of the REXROTH PPC-R22.1N-T-NN-P1-NN-FW, regular backups of the system image and project data are strongly recommended to enable quick recovery in case of a failure. Operating system and firmware updates should be applied by qualified personnel during planned maintenance windows.
