Product Description:

The DKC10.3-012-3-MGP-01V20 is an axis drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the DKC Drive Controllers series. It functions as the power and regulation stage between a control system and servo or induction motors used on packaging lines, material-handling stations, and other automated cells. The unit supervises current, velocity, and position loops so that commanded motion profiles are executed with repeatable accuracy in multi-axis installations. This operating role suits machinery that requires coordinated starts, stops, and speed changes across several connected axes.

The converter runs from a DC link held at 300 V, providing an internal energy reservoir for rapid load transients. The unit is Design 3, which indicates the third electronic revision. Motion commands are handled through a multi-interface, general-purpose control option, allowing use across different fieldbus topologies. The drive can deliver a continuous phase current of 12 A to the connected motor while drawing no more than 2.2 A from the AC mains. Interface option 10 provides analog I/O and serial diagnostics, and the buffered DC bus helps the controller support short-term demand changes without unstable motor response.

Thermal behavior is characterized by a conduction and airflow loss of 400 W at the stated continuous output, so enclosure ventilation must dissipate this heat load. Reliable electronics performance is maintained up to 40 °C ambient, allowing the controller to share space with other heat-generating equipment without derating. As an EcoDrive model, it can return excess kinetic energy to the DC bus during deceleration instead of discarding it immediately as heat. The compact aluminum housing weighs 1.8 kg, which reduces mechanical load on DIN rails or backplanes and helps the unit fit compact control cabinets.
