VT 5008 S16 by Bosch Rexroth Indramat

The VT 5008 S16 is a high-precision IO card engineered by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the robust VT-5000 IO Cards series. It features a primary voltage input of 500 V and delivers a secondary voltage output of 8 V, maintaining an accurate transformation ratio of 62.5:1 for stable voltage conversion. Designed to operate reliably in challenging environments, the unit supports an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C without compromise. Weighing just 3.5 kg, this compact module balances performance and size, enabling easy installation in space-constrained control panels. Its streamlined form factor and efficient design make it a versatile choice for modern industrial automation applications.

Technical excellence is embodied in its electrical characteristics. The card achieves an accuracy class of 0.5, ensuring precise signal fidelity across processes. With a burden of 1.0 VA, it minimizes additional load on the measurement circuit. The device accommodates both 50/60 Hz frequency ratings, supporting worldwide power standards. A short-circuit impedance of 10% offers inherent protection against fault currents, while an insulation level rated at 16 kV and electrical class F guarantee resilience under high-voltage stress. These specifications combine to deliver dependable, uninterrupted performance in demanding control systems.

Operational features and benefits focus on long-term reliability and ease of integration. The module employs a natural air cooled system to dissipate heat efficiently without the need for auxiliary fans or liquid cooling, reducing maintenance points. Constructed from rugged stainless steel, the enclosure resists corrosion and mechanical wear, extending service life in industrial settings. The panel mount design streamlines installation and secures the card firmly within electrical racks. With compact dimensions of 150 x 100 x 75 mm, the unit occupies minimal space while providing full functionality, enabling high-density installations in control cabinets.

Seamless integration with existing automation infrastructure is a key advantage of the VT 5008 S16. Its standardized form factor and electrical interfaces facilitate drop-in replacement and system extensions without major reengineering. The card’s reliable voltage conversion and precise signal handling support applications in machine tools, robotics, process control, and power distribution systems. Whether deployed in new installations or retrofitted into legacy equipment, the VT 5008 S16 ensures consistent performance, enhanced safety, and streamlined commissioning across diverse industrial automation projects.
