Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-EC-S4-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As part of the HCS01 line, it combines a power section with a digital control core so that motion axes can be run from the same housing that conditions the three-phase mains supply. That integrated arrangement keeps the power electronics and control functions in one compact unit. Within automated assembly cells, packaging machines, or metal-cutting centers, the unit issues precisely timed current commands that synchronize motors with master PLC sequences.

This controller delivers a device peak output of 18 A, which is the maximum motor current it can furnish during rapid accelerations or load shocks. It accepts mains input over 3 x AC 200–500 V ±10%, allowing installation on low- and medium-voltage plant distribution networks without tap transformers. Cooling air is moved through the heat sink by an internal blower, which removes heat without external ducting. Command and diagnostic data move across a deterministic SERCOS III master interface that also supports cross-communication between multiple drives. That network keeps command timing consistent across grouped axes during coordinated motion. An IP20 housing rating restricts use to protective enclosures but simplifies cabinet airflow because no additional sealing gaskets are required.

The control section is classified as ADVANCED, a platform that offers extended drive functions. Hardware design version 1 identifies the first release of this layout. Both feedback ports accept incremental or absolute encoders that use IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 protocols, providing uniform motor position data for electronic gearing. This allows compatible feedback devices to be connected without separate signal translators. The power supply stage is specified for infeeding and fed operation, so the unit can regenerate braking energy back to the DC bus or draw power from a common link.
