Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-CN-L4-NN-FW drive controller is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It converts three-phase mains power into regulated DC and PWM outputs for servo motors, providing closed-loop speed and torque control commanded by host automation systems. The compact HCS01 line format supports consistent cabinet layouts and simplifies placement in multi-axis assemblies. Typical applications include packaging stations and small material-handling axes where limited panel space and standardized mounting rails are important.

This controller accepts three-phase input voltages of 3 x AC 200 to 500 V ±10%, allowing it to operate across a broad industrial supply range. The integrated inverter stage can deliver a device peak current of 18 A, giving connected motors short-term headroom during acceleration and regenerative events. Heat is expelled by internal air cooling through an onboard blower, so no external fan assembly is required. The IP20 enclosure rating makes the unit touch-safe inside a control cabinet, but it is not intended for direct exposure to dust or liquids. Real-time motion data travels over the SERCOS III master interface with cross communication, supporting deterministic synchronization among multiple drives.

A separate bus channel offers CANopen access for diagnostics or connection to legacy controllers, and the universal feedback port reads Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 signals for closed-loop position control. The installed control section is the ADVANCED type, which supports expanded drive functions. Integrated STO and SBC circuits simplify machine safety functions by enabling drive-level torque shutdown and brake control. This arrangement supports motion data exchange, feedback handling, and brake control within the same controller.
