Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0013-A-02-E-S3-EC-EP-L3-NN-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As a compact axis inverter, it provides closed-loop speed and torque control for IndraDyn motors and other servo axes used in automated assembly cells, packaging lines, and material-handling stations. The unit is built as design version 1, placing it in a small power class intended for cabinet-mounted motion systems. Its job is to convert incoming AC power into controlled three-phase motor output while supporting coordinated axis response during automated machine cycles.

Communication is handled through SERCOS III, allowing cyclic position updates and diagnostic data to travel over a single network connection. The controller accepts 3 x AC 110-230 V ±10% input power, which suits low-voltage mains commonly used in modular equipment. Thermal management uses internal air cooling with an integrated blower, so cabinet air is moved across the heat sink without external ducting. During acceleration peaks, the inverter can deliver up to 13 A before returning to its continuous operating range. The housing has an IP20 rating, which means it is intended for installation inside an enclosed control cabinet where basic contact protection is sufficient.

For machine safety, STO (Safe Torque Off) removes gate-drive energy from the power stage when a stop command is triggered. Motor feedback is connected through the first encoder interface, which supports IndraDyn Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder protocols for absolute position data from compatible motors. The drive can also operate on a common DC bus as either an infeed or a fed unit, allowing DC link energy to be shared with compatible system components. This arrangement supports coordinated multi-axis operation where several drives exchange power through the same DC bus structure.
