Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-CN-L4-NN-FW drive controller is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As a compact inverter, it converts three-phase mains power to a regulated DC link and pulse-width-modulated motor output. Used alongside IndraDyn servo or asynchronous motors, it supplies current, monitors feedback, and enforces protective limits to automate conveyor, packaging, and handling axes on factory floors. This arrangement lets the controller regulate torque and speed while responding quickly to changing load conditions during normal machine operation.

Rated for a three-phase supply of 3 x AC 200–500 V ±10%, the unit can be installed on mixed-voltage networks common to global plants. Its peak output current is 18 A, which covers short-term motor demand during acceleration and braking. Communication with higher-level PLCs is handled over MultiEthernet, allowing protocol selection without hardware changes. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, while the IP20 housing supports installation inside a control cabinet. Motor position is resolved through the feedback socket that supports Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2, enabling high-resolution data exchange for precise motion loops and allowing the controller to work with several common feedback formats.

An auxiliary interface for CANopen supports decentralized I/O and coordinated communication with compatible devices. Functional safety is integrated by the dual-channel STO and SBC circuitry, so torque and brake power can be removed together without external relays. The unit is design version 1. A shared DC rail allows either infeeding or fed operating modes, which supports energy exchange with other connected axes during dynamic motion. The BASIC control section is intended for standard axis functions and straightforward closed-loop drive tasks.
