Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-L3-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It functions as a compact control and power stage for synchronous or asynchronous motors used in industrial automation. The unit governs torque or speed from real-time feedback while exchanging control data with higher-level PLCs and motion platforms. This makes it suitable for conveyor axes, handling systems, and other machines that need closed-loop motor control from a single cabinet component.

This unit communicates over a MultiEthernet port, allowing direct integration into common industrial networks without additional gateways. It operates from a three-phase supply of 3 × AC 200–500 V ±10% and can deliver up to 8 A of peak current to the connected motor, supporting short acceleration bursts. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so cabinet airflow remains localized within the unit. An enclosure rating of IP20 indicates finger-safe accessibility but requires installation inside a protected electrical cabinet. This arrangement suits cabinet-mounted axes where the surrounding machine enclosure provides the added protection needed for industrial service.

The control section uses the BASIC variant in design version 1 and pairs with the HCS01 line as indicated by the type code. Feedback processing is handled through an Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 port, and a secondary channel provides encoder emulation for legacy drives. Power is exchanged with a common DC bus through an Infeeding / Feeded supply concept, which allows energy sharing among multiple axes. Functional safety is handled by the integrated STO interface, which removes torque within the specified reaction time when activated. The encoder emulation channel can also support older supervisory interfaces that expect simulated feedback signals.
