Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EP-L4-NN-FW is a compact drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It governs servo and induction axes by modulating power to the connected motor in response to fieldbus commands. The controller serves as the link between the automation system and the motor power stage, translating motion requests into controlled electrical output. This operating role makes it suitable for packaging, handling, and assembly cells that require accurate axis response during automated motion.

This unit communicates over MultiEthernet, allowing simultaneous access from EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT masters without additional option cards. A peak phase output of 8 A supports small-to-medium actuators during acceleration bursts, while the mains connection accepts 3 x AC 200…500 V ±10% for use on a wide range of plant supplies. This broad input range allows the same controller type to fit installations with different regional supply levels. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling, where an integrated blower moves cabinet air across the heat sink. The housing carries an IP20 rating, so the unit should be installed inside a control enclosure for protection against dust and moisture.

The control section is classified as BASIC, which is the entry-level logic layer paired with this power section. Feedback from the motor enters through an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface, enabling high-resolution position loops without separate signal converters. This direct feedback path supports stable speed and position control during normal machine operation. Functional safety is handled by integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) and SBC (Safe Brake Control) channels, which remove drive energy and manage an external brake according to the active safety command. The power module supports infeeding and fed operation, so it can return regenerative energy to the DC bus and also draw from that bus when required.
