Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-NN-NN-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It coordinates servo and spindle axes in compact automation cells by converting low-voltage three-phase power into regulated DC-bus energy and controlled switching for motor windings. The unit belongs to the HCS01 line and uses hardware revision 1, which keeps it aligned with the mechanical format used in this product family.

This controller supplies a device peak current of 18 A, giving short bursts of torque for rapid indexing or acceleration. The power stage accepts 3 x AC 110 to 230 V ±10%, which matches common low-voltage mains used in packaging, electronics, and material-handling machines. Network integration is handled by the MultiEthernet communication backplane, allowing the drive to fit into modern control architectures. Motor feedback is connected through the Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 port, while a second fieldbus channel uses PROFIBUS for control-level communication. The DC-bus arrangement also allows regenerated energy to be shared among multiple axes instead of being wasted as heat.

Thermal regulation is handled by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, which removes heat without requiring external ducting. The enclosure has an IP20 rating, so the unit is intended for installation inside a switchgear cabinet. The BASIC control section supports core positioning, velocity, and torque functions without adding integrated safety features. Energy exchange with the DC link follows the Infeeding / Feeded arrangement, allowing braking energy from one axis to be reused by other connected axes. Because the unit does not include a built-in safety interface, any required safety functions must be provided by external components.
