Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat markets the HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EC-S4-NN-FW as part of the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. The unit is an HCS drive controller intended for multi-axis automation where compact inverter stages must regulate torque, speed, and position on synchronous and asynchronous motors. By combining a control section with a power section in one enclosure, the product reduces cabinet space and simplifies wiring for machine tools, packaging lines, and general material-handling equipment.

The control hardware communicates over MultiEthernet, allowing PLCs that use EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT to share process data through a single port. Inside the chassis, a BASIC control section provides standard motion functions without optional safety extensions, and this is identified as Version 1 in the type code. Cooling is handled by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so the blower pulls cabinet air across the heat sink and no external ducting is required. The power stage delivers a device peak current of 8 A, which is enough to handle short-term acceleration demands on low-inertia servo axes. The control section and power module are matched for operation in the same housing.

The housing is rated IP20, so the controller must be installed in an enclosed cabinet. It accepts a wide mains input of 3 × AC 200…500 V ±10%, letting one unit operate on both 230 V and 400 V factory grids. Two identical feedback ports support IndraDyn Hiperface or EnDat 2.1 / 2.2 encoder protocols, enabling redundant position signals or separate motor and external encoder channels. The internal DC link can operate in infeeding or fed mode, so excess regenerative energy may be returned to the plant mains or absorbed by other drives on the bus. This arrangement also allows the controller to manage motor feedback and an additional measuring signal within the same unit.
