Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-NN-L4-NN-FW is a compact drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As part of a multi-axis automation cabinet, the unit regulates power to synchronous or asynchronous motors, processes feedback signals, and exchanges data with higher-level PLCs for coordinated motion. It converts incoming three-phase power into controlled output current, allowing precise torque and speed control in conveyors, packaging machines, and handling systems. That control function helps connected axes respond consistently during indexing, speed regulation, and routine start-stop cycles in automated machinery.

For field wiring, the controller accepts 3 x AC 110...230 V ±10%, so it can operate from common low-voltage industrial supplies without an isolating transformer. The power stage delivers a peak output of 18 A, providing short-term torque reserve during acceleration and load changes. Heat from the IGBTs is removed by a built-in air blower, which moves cabinet air across the heat sink without external ducting. The housing has an IP20 rating, so the unit must be installed inside an enclosure. Communication is handled through MultiEthernet, which allows SERCOS III, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO, or EtherCAT through the same port.

Control logic is handled by the interchangeable section, and this version uses the BASIC variant for standard axis control and parameter storage. Motor feedback is connected through a universal interface for IndraDyn Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder feedback, while a second feedback channel is not equipped. The safety terminal supports STO and SBC, allowing torque and brake functions to be shut off through the drive. The power section supports infeeding and fed operation, so DC-bus energy can be shared with neighboring axes.
