Primary Functional Description
Integrated Multi-Tasking Control: The REXROTH VT-HNC100-1-3X/P-I-00/000 unifies CNC, PLC, and motion control functionality. It can execute complex CNC part programs (G-code) for machining tasks while simultaneously running PLC logic for handling machine sequencing, safety interlocks, and auxiliary functions. This integrated approach eliminates communication delays between separate controllers, resulting in faster response times and more deterministic machine behavior. The controller manages all axes in a coordinated fashion, enabling precise contouring and synchronized movements essential for machining and assembly.Powerful and Flexible Programming Environment: The system offers exceptional programming flexibility. It supports industry-standard G-code for defining tool paths, making it familiar to machinists and programmers. Concurrently, it allows for the development of sophisticated machine logic in standard PLC languages (like ladder diagram or structured text) per IEC 61131-3. This dual-language capability, supported by Rexroth’s IndraWorks engineering software, streamlines development, testing, and commissioning of complex machines.Robust Drive Integration and Diagnostic Capabilities: Designed for seamless integration into Rexroth’s automation ecosystem, the controller communicates efficiently with digital drives (e.g., Rexroth IndraDrive) and I/O via high-speed fieldbus networks. This ensures tight coupling between the control commands and the drive response. Comprehensive diagnostic functions are built-in, providing detailed information on controller status, axis errors, and program execution. This facilitates quick troubleshooting, reduces downtime, and supports preventive maintenance strategies.
Application Fields
The REXROTH VT-HNC100-1-3X/P-I-00/000 is ideally suited for a wide range of automated machinery requiring precise multi-axis control. Its classic application is in small to medium-sized machine tools, such as 3-axis milling machines, CNC lathes, grinding machines, and gear cutting machines.Beyond metalworking, it is effectively used in woodworking machinery, glass and stone processing equipment, and advanced handling and assembly systems where coordinated motion of several axes is required. It is also applied in specialty manufacturing machines, test stands, and in the automation of production cells where its combination of CNC path control and PLC functionality provides a complete control solution in a single package.
