AES-D-BC-PNIO
The AES-D-BC-PNIO module from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is part of the VT Servo Amplifiers family and delivers robust fieldbus connectivity for industrial automation. This Fieldbus Module supports the PROFINET IO protocol and offers an impressive Number Of I/O Connections of 512 inputs and 512 outputs. Designed for efficient power management, it operates at a stable Operating Voltage Electronics of 24 V DC and features a compact Power Plug In Size of M12x1 with Power Plug In Number Of Pole four pins and Power Plug In Coding A-coded. Engineered for harsh environments, the module performs reliably across its Min. Ambient Temperature of –10 °C up to a Max. Ambient Temperature of 60 °C.
Featuring advanced communication and control capabilities, this Generation 2 unit supports Type configurations including MRP and IRT (RT_CLASS 3) for real-time performance. Its Fieldbus Design in a robust D-design housing ensures seamless integration with field devices while minimizing EMI through logical signal separation from actuator power. The module is E/a Capable, enabling direct connection with I/O subsystems, and controls up to 128 solenoid coils as specified by the Number Of Solenoid Coils Max. rating. It further accommodates up to 64 valve positions in a single unit, in line with its Max. Number Of Valve Positions capability.
Operational reliability is enhanced through built-in diagnostics, including undervoltage detection and rapid error reporting to streamline troubleshooting. The module meets EN 61000-6-4 emission standards for industrial environments and maintains consistent performance over extended duty cycles. Data transfer occurs in less than 1 millisecond at 256 bits, ensuring minimal latency in control loops. Electrical components draw only 0.1 A during standby, while valve outputs can deliver currents up to 4 A, balancing efficiency with powerful actuation control.
Integration into complex automation architectures is straightforward: the AES-D-BC-PNIO supports modular expansion across up to ten I/O modules, facilitating scalable system growth. Its plug-and-play design, combined with widespread PROFINET IO compatibility, makes it ideal for distributed control systems, packaging lines, robotic cells, and process automation setups. Engineers will appreciate the ease of configuration and reliable fieldbus performance when deploying this module within modern industrial networks.
