Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0013-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-NN-NN-FW is a drive controller built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and placed in the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It regulates torque, speed, and position for synchronous and induction motors in automated machinery, serving as the power section between a PLC command source and the mechanical axis. This arrangement allows the controller to translate motion commands into controlled motor current for repeatable machine movement. In packaging, handling, and general automation equipment, that role supports steady acceleration, controlled braking, and accurate speed regulation during changing loads.

This controller communicates over MultiEthernet, allowing integration into mixed-protocol factory networks and exchange of axis data with higher-level control hardware. Its input terminals accept a three-phase supply of 3 x AC 110–230 V ±10%, and the power section can deliver up to 13 A of peak current to the connected motor windings. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, and the housing has an IP20 rating for installation inside a closed control cabinet. Cabinet mounting helps protect the electronics from accidental contact and limits exposure to airborne debris. The unit is in Version 1, which keeps it aligned with the HCS01 layout used for this drive line.

The control section uses the BASIC variant, so the dedicated safety interface is not equipped. Position feedback is processed through an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface, which allows the drive to monitor rotor position directly for closed-loop control. Real-time axis commands can also enter through a fieldbus slot that supports PROFIBUS, giving the controller another option for networked motion control. The unit can accept regenerated energy from braking motors and return it to the DC link during deceleration. This energy flow helps the drive handle changing motion states without requiring separate external ducting for heat removal.
