Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-A-CC-EC-PB-L3-NN-FW is an HCS drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As a compact axis inverter, it converts three-phase supply power into regulated output for servo and induction motors used in automated handling, packaging, and machining cells. Its control section carries out precise speed and torque commands from a higher-level PLC or motion system, turning electrical input into controlled shaft motion at the motor. This operating role suits single-axis applications that need consistent response, compact installation, and coordinated motion with other drive components.

The controller communicates with neighboring drives through a SERCOS III master channel that supports cross-communication, so synchronized data can circulate without an external fieldbus coupler. The device peak current is 18 A, which provides short-term output for acceleration and changing load conditions, and incoming power is accepted from 3 × AC 110…230 V ±10% for connection to low-voltage plant supply. Internal heat is removed by air cooling through an integrated blower, and motor feedback is supported through IndraDyn Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder feedback for closed-loop speed and position control. Field-level commands can also reach the drive over PROFIBUS, and the power section can return braking energy to a shared DC bus instead of dissipating it locally.

The paired control section is the ADVANCED type, which supports extended motion functions beyond basic speed regulation. The enclosure has an IP20 rating, so it is intended for clean electrical cabinets where finger protection is required and direct exposure to liquids is limited. Functional safety is provided by STO, which disables torque without removing the incoming AC supply and helps simplify emergency-stop integration. The unit is design version 1.
