Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat manufactures the HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-NN-NN-FW as part of the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. Classified as an HCS drive controller, it combines power electronics with axis control to manage motor speed and torque in automated machinery such as pick-and-place units, conveyors, and forming stations. The controller translates motion commands from a PLC into regulated current for the connected motor while monitoring operating limits and returning diagnostic data over modern industrial networks.

The unit communicates through a MultiEthernet interface, so it can join EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT networks without additional hardware. Its control section uses the BASIC design, which provides standard drive functions for single-axis positioning tasks. Thermal management is handled by internal air cooling that uses an integrated blower to move cabinet air across the heat sink, eliminating the need for external ducting. During rapid accelerations, the power stage can deliver a device peak output of 8 A, allowing short bursts of high torque before returning to continuous current limits. The power terminals accept a three-phase mains feed of 3 x AC 200…500 V ±10%, which covers common 230 V and 400 V factory supplies and tolerates moderate line variation.

Feedback handling is flexible because interface 1 supports Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2, while interface 2 provides encoder emulation for systems that require simulated signals. The housing carries an IP20 rating, so it must be installed inside a protected electrical cabinet while still providing finger-safe touch protection. Power is arranged around an infeed or fed supply concept, meaning the controller can receive DC bus energy from a shared supply or operate as the infeed module itself. No integrated safety interface is included in this version, so safety functions must be handled elsewhere in the system.
