Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0013-A-02-B-ET-EC-EP-S4-NN-AW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. The unit forms the central power module in multi-axis automation cells, converting AC mains power into controlled DC link energy and issuing gate commands that let connected motors follow drive profiles from the PLC. By closing torque and velocity loops internally, the controller delivers the responsiveness needed for conveyors, pick-and-place gantries, and similar motion tasks.

Its supply section accepts 3 x AC 110–230 V ±10%, allowing deployment on low-voltage factory grids without an external transformer. During rapid acceleration events, the power stage can deliver a device peak current of 13 A, giving short-term torque reserves to the attached axis. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling; an integrated blower moves cabinet air across the heat sink so no external ducting is required. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so it must be installed inside a closed control panel away from dripping fluids. For networked motion, the unit provides a MultiEthernet interface, letting a single hardware port switch dynamically between EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, or SERCOS III command sets depending on the higher-level controller.

The electronic section fitted to this model is the BASIC variant and is permanently paired with the associated power section. Encoder feedback from motors is processed over the IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 port, so absolute position data up to 32-bit resolution can be transferred without separate converters. Hardware generation 1 identifies the component layout within the HCS01 line series. Energy can flow in both directions because the power supply unit operates in an infeeding and feeder configuration, enabling regenerative braking to return excess energy to the DC link or mains.
