Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EP-NN-NN-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It is intended to regulate synchronous and asynchronous motors in automated machinery, providing closed-loop velocity and position control while integrating with upstream PLCs. By combining the power section of the HCS01 line with a BASIC control card, the unit forms a compact axis module that simplifies cabinet layouts in multi-drive installations.

The controller communicates with higher-level networks through a MultiEthernet port, so the same unit can be assigned to EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT topologies. Its mains input accepts 3 × AC 200–500 V ±10%, allowing the same model to be installed on both 230 V and 480 V factory feeders without a transformer. The control section is classified as BASIC, which means it provides standard motion functions without integrated safety logic. An enclosure rating of IP20 indicates that the device must be mounted inside a protective panel to prevent finger contact and limit dust exposure. Internally, the inverter can deliver a peak output current of 8 A, which is the maximum motor phase current available for acceleration or dynamic braking.

Thermal management is handled by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so cabinet layouts do not require ducted air or liquid cooling and can follow the 45 °C ambient limit stated for the HCS01 family. Feedback wiring is terminated on an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder connector, enabling high-resolution position loops without additional interface cards. The unit is Design 1. Power is managed by an infeeding and fed supply concept, so the unit can share a common DC bus and regenerated energy from one axis can be used by others instead of being dissipated.
