Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EP-L3-NN-FW is a compact drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As a servo inverter for small and medium-power axes, it provides closed-loop regulation of synchronous and asynchronous motors used in packaging, material handling, and assembly stations. The module combines a power section and a replaceable control section in one housing so that machine builders can integrate axis control, fieldbus communication, and functional safety without adding standalone components.

The controller communicates with PLCs through the MultiEthernet interface, enabling EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT access without extra option cards. It ships with a control section designated BASIC, which supports positioning functions and matches the stated pairing guideline. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so separate cabinet airflow is not required. With an enclosure rating of IP20, the unit is meant for mounting inside a control cabinet free of conductive dust or fluids. The power stage accepts 3 x AC 200 to 500 V ±10% mains and can deliver up to 8 A of peak device current during load changes.

Functional safety is provided by the STO (Safe Torque Off) interface, which removes drive energy without interrupting upstream control logic. Position feedback arrives through IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder support, allowing absolute encoders to be read through a single connector. The power section operates in infeed/feed mode, so it can draw from or return regenerative energy to a shared DC bus on multi-axis machines. Hardware is locked to design version 1 of the HCS01 line, and no supplementary features are declared. Firmware is supplied separately, and the required release must match the installed control section.
