VT 5015 S30
The VT 5015 S30 from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is a high-performance IO card in the VT-5000 IO Cards series engineered for robust industrial automation. This compact module utilizes a 32-pin male multipoint connector (DIN 41 612, form D) and weighs only 0.15 kg, minimizing footprint and simplifying installation. The card offers adjustable ramp times from 30 ms to approx. 1 s or 5 s (±20% each) to protect downstream devices by controlling signal slew rates. Engineered to operate reliably in ambient temperatures from 0 to 50 °C, it meets diverse environmental requirements in factory and process control systems. Its Euro-card format ensures seamless integration into standard racks.
With a stable oscillator frequency of 2.5 kHz (±10%) and a self-clocking frequency up to approx. 1.5 kHz, the VT 5015 S30 delivers precise timing for signal generation and synchronization. The regulated voltage supply of ±9 V (±1%), externally loadable with ±25 mA ensures stable internal operation, while output stages provide solenoid current options of 1.8 A (±20%) with 5.4 Ω or 2.2 A (±20%) with 10 Ω, accommodating a range of actuator requirements. Each output channel delivers a voltage amplitude of 5 V, with a maximum load capability of 30 mA per channel to drive sensors and indicators directly. Built to industrial safety standards, the module advises to plug/unplug only when disconnected from the power supply to ensure maintenance safety.
Operationally, the VT 5015 S30 supports accurate monitoring via measuring sockets for command ("w"): 0 to ±7.6 V (Ri = 100 Ω) and actual position feedback: 0 to 6.6 V (Ri = 100 Ω), enabling closed-loop adjustments and diagnostic readouts without additional signal conditioning. Its input impedance of 100 Ω minimizes loading effects to preserve signal integrity. The card’s robust design tolerates electrical variations while the adjustable ramp time smooths transient responses, reducing mechanical stress and prolonging solenoid life. Front panel indicators and standardized dimensions (Height: 3 HE (128.4 mm); solder side width: 1 TE (5.08 mm); component side width: 7 TE) streamline system assembly and troubleshooting in control cabinets.
Integration is facilitated by compliance with DIN 41 494 Euro-card standards (100 × 160 mm) and compatibility with existing VT-5000 backplanes. Its 32-pin connector interface ensures reliable signal paths, while the compact 0.15 kg weight reduces strain on mounting structures. Ideal for machine tools, assembly lines, pneumatic and hydraulic valve control, the VT 5015 S30 seamlessly interfaces with PLC systems and distributed control architectures. With its combination of timing precision, regulated power rails, and rugged industrial packaging, this IO card enhances system performance and reliability across diverse automation applications.
