Product Description:

The DKC01.3-018-3-MGP-01VRS is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and positioned within the DKC Drive Controllers series. It is intended for cabinet installation, where it converts three-phase mains energy into a regulated DC bus and pulse-width-modulated output for synchronous or induction servo axes. In automated lines, the unit executes velocity, torque, and position commands received from higher-level motion processors, supporting closed-loop control of a single mechanical axis while also supplying diagnostic data back to the supervisory PLC.

The connected load is 2.1 kVA, indicating the apparent power the supply section must deliver under rated conditions. The internal DC link operates at 300 V, providing the intermediate storage level that feeds the output inverter. For continuous motion, the controller can source 18 A of phase current, so conductor sizing and protective devices must meet this value. Switching devices are clocked up to 8 kHz, a frequency that reduces current ripple and improves motor smoothness at the cost of greater thermal stress. Resulting transistor and snubber losses appear as 41.9 W of drive power dissipation when the device runs at the 8 kHz carrier, which is useful for enclosure heat-removal calculations.

Startup circuitry includes a soft-start resistor of 4.7 Ohm rated at 17 W. This component limits inrush to the DC bus capacitors and helps prevent nuisance tripping of upstream breakers. The Multi interface, general purpose configuration adds serial communication and digital I/O layers so the controller can integrate into diverse control architectures without additional option cards. The product type is identified as EcoDrive, reflecting energy-optimized regenerative handling across the shared DC network.
