Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0003-A-02-B-ET-EC-EP-S4-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. Within an automation cell, this product regulates servo power modules and coordinates motion for axes that require precise speed and torque commands during synchronized machine motion. By integrating the power stage and control electronics in a compact housing, it connects electrical mains, motor feedback devices, and higher-level PLCs, forming the core of many small to mid-power motion loops in automated equipment.

The controller links to plant networks through a MultiEthernet port, allowing protocol selection such as EtherNet/IP or PROFINET without extra hardware. It accepts a supply of 3 × AC 110…230 V ±10 %, so the unit can be wired to single-phase or three-phase utility feeds. Internally, the power stage can deliver a device peak current of 3 A, which is suitable for low-inertia servomotors that need brief acceleration surges. Heat generated by switching devices is removed by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so no separate cabinet ducting is required. The housing carries an IP20 rating, which provides finger-safe touch protection but requires placement inside a control enclosure. Motor position feedback is connected through Interface 1, which uses an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface for high-resolution absolute feedback and tight loop control.

The unit belongs to the HCS01 line and is version 1, so its mechanical dimensions and connector layout correspond to the earliest release in the family. Its control section is the BASIC variant, which provides standard axis functions without optional safety or advanced technology packages. Power sharing is handled by an infeeding and feeding topology, which allows several drives to draw DC bus energy from one rectifier while regenerated energy is returned to the supply. This arrangement suits compact gantries, labeling stations, and indexing tables where minimal footprint and simple wiring are important.
