Product Overview

The BTV04 is a compact and highly user – programmable machine control device, developed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. This miniature control panel is engineered to bring precision and flexibility to industrial operations. With an aluminum front panel, it not only offers durability but also a sleek and professional look. The BTV04 features a 128 x 64 pixel high – contrast graphical LCD display with LED backlighting and a dark mode option. This display is crucial for presenting detailed visual information about the operating plant or machinery to the user, enhancing the overall user experience and making it easier to monitor operations.

 

Housed within an impact – resistant, ergonomic IP65 – rated enclosure, the BTV04 can withstand the rigors of industrial environments, protecting its internal components from dust, water splashes, and mechanical stress. The panel comes equipped with 38 keys, out of which 16 are machine control keys with LEDs, providing clear visual feedback on the status of machine operations. Additionally, 7 keys are user – programmable, allowing end – users to customize the control panel according to their specific operational needs. This programmability factor makes the BTV04 an adaptable solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

Key Features and Benefits

Customizability

The 7 user – programmable keys on the BTV04 offer a high degree of customization. End – users can assign specific functions to these keys, which is particularly useful in industries where unique operational sequences are required. For example, in a packaging plant, these keys can be programmed to start and stop specific packaging processes, adjust conveyor speeds, or activate labeling machines. Insert strips are provided for customized labeling of these programmable keys, ensuring that operators can easily identify the functions assigned to each key.

Communication Capabilities

Equipped with both RS485 and RS232 non – isolated serial interfaces, the BTV04 can communicate effectively with a variety of devices. The RS485 interface, with its bus capability, allows the BTV04 to connect to multiple Indramat controls in a networked environment. This is beneficial in large – scale industrial setups where data needs to be transmitted between different control panels and central control units. The RS232 interface enables seamless communication with personal computers, facilitating software installation, configuration, and data transfer. This dual – interface setup makes the BTV04 a versatile choice for both simple and complex industrial communication requirements.

Durability and Design

The aluminum front panel not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also provides protection against physical damage. The IP65 – rated enclosure ensures that the BTV04 can be used in harsh industrial environments. Whether it’s a dusty factory floor or an area where water splashes are common, the BTV04 will continue to function reliably. The ergonomic design of the enclosure also makes it comfortable for operators to use, reducing fatigue during long – term operation.

Visual Feedback

The 128 x 64 pixel graphical LCD display with LED backlighting is a standout feature. The high – contrast display can show detailed information such as machine status, error messages, and process parameters. The LED backlighting ensures visibility even in low – light conditions, and the dark mode option is useful in environments with bright ambient light, reducing glare and eye strain for the operator. The 16 machine control keys with LEDs offer additional visual feedback, making it easy for operators to quickly assess the status of machine operations at a glance.

Software Compatibility

With ScreenManager software, end – users can create custom applications tailored to their control families. This software compatibility empowers users to optimize the BTV04 for their specific industrial processes. For instance, in a machine tool operation, custom applications can be developed to control the movement of axes, adjust cutting speeds, and monitor tool wear. The ability to create such customized applications enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of industrial operations.
