Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-ET-S4-NN-FW drive controller is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It supplies regulated three-phase power, processes motor feedback, and exchanges fieldbus data so servo or induction motors can follow torque, speed, and position commands in packaging, material handling, and printing equipment. The unit is intended for cabinet installation where compact drive hardware is needed for coordinated machine motion.

This controller accepts an input range of 3 × AC 200–500 V ±10%, allowing the same unit to operate on low- or mid-voltage industrial power systems without tap changes. Peak output capability reaches 18 A, giving short bursts of current for acceleration and indexing moves. The control section is classified as ADVANCED, and communication with higher-level motion control is handled through a high-speed SERCOS III master cross-communication port. Thermal management uses internal air cooling through an integrated blower to keep the electronics within operating limits while preserving a compact cabinet footprint. The housing has an IP20 rating, so it protects against finger contact and is intended for use inside a closed control panel.

The second communication bay provides a MultiEthernet interface for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT network topologies. The encoder channel accepts Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 feedback, allowing the controller to receive position data for closed-loop motor operation. Power sharing is handled through an Infeeding / Feeded supply concept, which allows multiple controllers to use a common DC bus and transfer braking energy within the drive group. This arrangement supports network communication, feedback processing, and power distribution in one compact platform. It is suited for machines that require coordinated axis control with flexible communication and encoder compatibility.
