VT 5035-18 by Bosch Rexroth Indramat

The VT 5035-18 I/O card from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is a member of the VT-5000 IO Cards series, engineered to meet the stringent demands of modern industrial automation. This high-performance module operates at 220V AC voltage with a 5A current rating, providing reliable signal processing and distribution across control networks. Its compact enclosure measures 150mm x 120mm x 40mm dimensions, enabling straightforward integration into standard control cabinets without sacrificing space. Early incorporation of the VT 5035-18 reduces system complexity by handling long-distance signal runs, as supported by its Max. 2000m detector line length capability. With a lightweight form factor of 2.5kg weight, this card minimizes mounting requirements while maintaining structural integrity. It also benefits from optimized internal circuitry designed to mitigate power failure risks, ensuring consistent operational availability.

Performance characteristics of the VT 5035-18 underscore its suitability for diverse industrial environments. It maintains full functionality across an -20°C to 60°C operating temperature range, accommodating both cold storage and heat-intensive processes. The module sustains operation under high-moisture conditions, with an operating humidity (relative) up to 90%, safeguarding against condensation-related faults. Its IP30 protection level rating provides solid defense against dust ingress while facilitating effective heat dissipation through unobstructed airflow. Technically, the card’s architecture supports rapid signal acquisition and transmission, leveraging robust input/output channels designed for minimal latency and electromagnetic compatibility. The combination of these features ensures stable performance in continuous-duty applications, from conveyor systems to multi-axis motion control.

Reliability and integration versatility are hallmarks of the VT 5035-18. Its standardized interface simplifies configuration within Bosch Rexroth Indramat control platforms and third-party automation systems alike. The card’s durable construction and tested electrical strength minimize downtime, even in high-cycle production lines. A footprint of 410 x 410 x 120 mm (W x L x D) permits uniform rack mounting alongside complementary modules, streamlining cabinet layouts and maintenance procedures. As a core component in industrial automation and control architectures, the VT 5035-18 delivers dependable I/O processing for packaging machinery, assembly lines, process monitoring, and safety interlock systems.
