Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0005-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-NN-NN-FW is a compact HCS drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. Positioned as part of the HCS01 hardware line, the device forms the link between the plant power network and servo or spindle motors, executing closed-loop control commands received from a higher-level PLC. By combining power electronics, encoder processing, and fieldbus connectivity in one enclosure, it simplifies axis wiring and supplies the regulated energy flow needed for precise speed, torque, and position regulation in industrial automation cells. Its compact format also helps when cabinet space is limited and separate feedback or communication modules would add unnecessary complexity.

The controller communicates with supervisory equipment over a MultiEthernet interface, allowing support of common industrial protocols through a single port. Its power input accommodates 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10%, so the same model can operate from 230 V or 480 V mains without a hardware change. For short acceleration demands, the unit delivers up to 5 A of peak output current, which suits low-power axes such as pick-and-place actuators and small feed systems. Heat is removed by internal air cooling, and the IP20 enclosure is touch-safe but intended for installation inside a cabinet protected from conductive dust and liquid spray.

The unit uses the BASIC control section, which covers standard speed and torque loops without added motion functions. The first encoder channel supports IndraDyn Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder feedback, while the second channel provides encoder emulation for connection to compatible legacy equipment. DC energy can be exchanged with adjacent axes because the power stage supports infeed and regeneration in a common DC-bus arrangement. The controller is not equipped with a dedicated safety interface, and no supplementary design features are included.
