Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactures the HCS01.1.1E-W0003-A-02-B-ET-EC-NN-NN-NN-FW. This unit belongs to the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series and functions as a compact drive controller that supplies regulated power and axis control to servo or induction motors in automated machinery. By integrating power electronics with motion control, the device forms the central link between the plant's PLC and the connected motor, adjusting torque and speed in real time. Its compact format makes it suitable for installations where cabinet space is limited but coordinated motor control is still required.

The controller has a maximum continuous output of 3 A, enabling it to govern low-power axes such as secondary conveyors or small pick-and-place heads. An integrated brake chopper is included, so excess regenerative energy can be diverted internally instead of overloading the DC bus. Field wiring is simplified by the Multi-Ethernet communication interface, which can support several industrial Ethernet protocols without optional modules and allows a single network cable to carry diagnostics and command data. Thermal management relies on air cooling, so the enclosure must be mounted where free convection or cabinet airflow can pass through the heat sink. The enclosure has an IP20 protection class, which provides finger-safe construction and requires installation inside a switchgear cabinet.

The hardware follows design version 1. Within the broader HCS01 line, the controller has a narrow footprint intended for dense cabinet layouts. As an HCS Drive Controller, the unit includes embedded current regulators and speed loops, eliminating the need for an external servo amplifier. Installation should reserve clearance above and below the housing to maintain airflow, and the network port should use shielded cabling to preserve signal integrity in noisy plant environments.
