S20-PWM-4-T
The Bosch Rexroth Indramat S20-PWM-4-T module from the S20 IndraControl Modules series is a high-performance industrial automation interface designed for precise valve control using pulse-width modulation. Manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat, this robust device provides four independent output channels to manage hydraulic valves without the need for additional displacement encoders. Each channel delivers up to 2.7 A per channel with a total module current capacity of 6.4 A, ensuring reliable operation under varying load conditions. The module supports a wide switching frequency of up to 1000 Hz for fine control resolution and rapid response. Housed in an IP67-rated enclosure, it is engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments.
Technical design features of the S20-PWM-4-T include a standardized Connection Type: M12 Connector for plug-and-play simplicity and a durable Housing Material: Plastic that meets ingress protection standards. An LED Status Indicator provides real-time diagnostics for each channel, while short-circuit protection and overload safeguards maintain system integrity. The module operates over a broad Operating Voltage: 10-30 VDC range and a temperature spectrum of -25°C to +55°C, enabling deployment in diverse settings. It mounts via a secure Through-hole mounting system and interfaces seamlessly with Bosch Rexroth valves through PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) outputs. Detailed technical parameters such as Load Current: Max 200 mA per channel, Output Channels: 4, and Protection Rating: IP67 are all designed for industrial reliability.
Operational performance of the S20-PWM-4-T is defined by its precision and speed. The module’s Response Time: Less than 1 ms ensures rapid valve actuation, while its 16-bit resolution achieves fine control over flow rates. The integrated Photoelectric Sensor architecture supports a Sensing Range: 0.1 m to 2.0 m, allowing feedback on valve position and fluid dynamics. Automatic valve current configuration and adjustable PWM frequency profiles provide adaptive performance without manual tuning. Robust diagnostic functions include wire break detection, undervoltage supervision, and watchdog error management, all of which reduce downtime and support predictive maintenance.
System integration is simplified through full compatibility with the IndraControl S20 bus, allowing high-speed transmission of process data and diagnostic events. Custom valve parameters such as bias current, jump height, and sensitivity can be configured via description files to match third-party valve characteristics. This makes the S20-PWM-4-T ideal for applications in hydraulic presses, mobile machinery, and industrial production lines where precise flow and pressure control are essential. Its compact design and modular architecture also facilitate seamless retrofits and expansions in existing automation installations.
