VT 5000-S-20

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT 5000-S-20 IO card is a robust component of the VT-5000 IO Cards series, engineered for high-performance industrial automation. It operates across an operating voltage range of 22 V to 35 VDC (nominal 24 VDC ±40%/−5%) and maintains a power consumption below 50 VA for energy-efficient operation. The device delivers a regulated output voltage amplitude of 5 V and a precise regulated voltage of ±9 V (±1%), ensuring stable signal conditioning. With an oscillator frequency of 2.5 kHz ±10% and a self-clocking clock frequency of approximately 1.5 kHz, the VT 5000-S-20 provides accurate timing for demanding control tasks. Housed in standardized card dimensions of 100 × 160 mm (Euro-card, DIN 41 494), it offers seamless integration into existing control racks.

Technical capabilities of the VT 5000-S-20 include a low current consumption of under 2 A, safeguarded by a fuse rating of 2.5 A (time-delay), which protects downstream circuitry. The module supports a max driver stage load of 30 mA per channel, facilitating reliable actuator or solenoid control. Its regulated output can source up to regulated output load of ≤ 25 mA, while maintaining tight voltage tolerances. Dual ramp time profiles—long (30 ms–5 s ±20%) and short (30 ms–1 s ±20%)—enable smooth device activation and deactivation, reducing mechanical stress on connected loads. These features combine to deliver responsive, precise control within complex automated processes.

Operational excellence is further enhanced by the card’s durable construction and efficient thermal characteristics. The module’s Euro-card form factor ensures compatibility with standard backplanes and contributes to overall system compactness. Power efficiency under 50 VA minimizes heat generation, and the robust design withstands industrial environments. Integrated solenoid drive ratings—solenoid current VT 5005 at 1.8 A ±20% with solenoid resistance VT 5005 of 5.4 Ω, and solenoid current VT 5006 at 2.2 A ±20% with solenoid resistance VT 5006 of 10 Ω—enable dependable actuation of hydraulic valves or other high-current devices. Self-clocking operation simplifies configuration and ensures synchronized performance across multiple IO channels.

Integration of the VT 5000-S-20 into automation architectures is straightforward, leveraging its Euro-card footprint and standardized connectors. The card interworks seamlessly with Bosch Rexroth Indramat VT-5000 backplanes and controllers, allowing fast commissioning and maintenance. Its versatile voltage range and comprehensive protection features make it ideal for applications in packaging, material handling, machine tools, and process control. This IO card delivers the reliability and precision demanded by modern industrial systems, enhancing uptime and operational efficiency.
