Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0008-A-03-B-ET-EC-EP-S5-NN-FW is a compact drive controller from Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It regulates power flow between the mains and synchronous or asynchronous servo motors while exchanging real-time control data with a higher-level PLC. By converting three-phase supply energy into metered motor currents, the unit serves as the axis-level interface for speed, torque, and position control in automated machinery and material-handling lines. It is intended for cabinet-mounted motion axes that require coordinated electrical and mechanical response.

Communication is provided by a MultiEthernet port that links the drive directly to EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT networks. The unit uses the BASIC control section, which handles core motion tasks while maintaining compatibility with larger IndraDrive variants. Cooling is provided by internal air cooling with an integrated blower, and the airflow moves cabinet air across the heat sink so components remain within operating limits at the controller’s 8 A peak current. The power stage accepts 3 × AC 200–500 V ±10%, allowing operation on both 200 V and 480 V plant supplies without hardware changes. The unit is design version 1.

Feedback is handled through the single-cable IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface, allowing the drive to close position loops without external converters. The electronics are housed in an IP20 enclosure, so the controller must be installed inside a protected cabinet while still supporting pluggable wiring. Energy exchange with the DC bus supports infeeding and regenerative power exchange, which allows the module to supply or absorb energy from neighboring axes during dynamic motion. Single-cable feedback also reduces the number of separate motor connections. Within the internal designation HCS01, these characteristics suit multi-axis packaging, printing, and forming machines.
