Product Description:

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-EP-S4-NN-FW belongs to the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series, a line of modular inverters used for single-axis motion tasks in industrial automation. The controller serves as the power and communication link between a PLC and a connected motor, regulating current, speed, and position while monitoring load and temperature conditions. By combining power electronics and fieldbus connectivity in a compact housing, it helps simplify cabinet layout for packaging units, small conveyors, and assembly stations that require precise drive control.

The unit communicates with supervisory systems through MultiEthernet, allowing selection of PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT without hardware changes. Its input stage accepts 3 × AC 110…230 V ±10%, which supports operation in facilities that use either 120 V or 208 V distribution. A current stage rated for 18 A peak supports the short acceleration bursts required by indexing axes. Rotor feedback is received through an Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface / EnDat 2.1 / 2.2 interface, so high-resolution position data reaches the servo loop without external converters. The IP20 housing limits access to energized parts and is intended for installation inside a switchgear enclosure that manages environmental exposure and EMC shielding.

The drive uses a BASIC control section that provides standard PLCI, safety, and parameter memory functions for general-purpose machinery. Internal circuitry is cooled by internal blower cooling, so normal cabinet airflow is sufficient without added ventilation ducts. The power module uses an infeeding and fed topology, which allows shared DC bus energy exchange when multiple axes brake or accelerate at the same time. The unit is design version 1, indicating the first design revision of this configuration.
