Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EC-NN-AA-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As an HCS drive controller, it regulates torque, speed, and position for servo or induction motors used in automated handling equipment, machining centers, and material transport lines. The unit links motor power stages with higher-level motion sequences, allowing precise closed-loop control during positioning, speed changes, and synchronized axis movement. This role lets one controller manage drive behavior while exchanging command and status data with the rest of the automation system across the machine.

It accepts a three-phase supply of 3 × AC 200–500 V ±10% and can deliver up to 8 A of peak output current to the connected motor stage. Network traffic passes through the integrated MultiEthernet port, giving the controller access to EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT topologies without extra hardware. The unit is equipped with the BASIC control section, a modular slot that contains the processor and I/O for standard axis functions. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling provided by an embedded blower, which eliminates external ductwork and helps keep the housing within operating limits in compact cabinets. Its compact layout also supports installation in densely packed control panels.

For electrical protection, the housing carries an IP20 rating, so it must be installed inside a closed control panel. Two identical feedback channels support Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface or EnDat 2.1/2.2 signals, allowing redundant position acquisition when high integrity is required. The drive section uses an infeeding/fed power unit, so it can either rectify line energy for the DC bus or share energy recovered from braking with adjacent axes. This model ships with no safety interface, leaving safety tasks to external relays or PLC modules. The power section is matched to its designated control slot within the HCS01 axis module.
