Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-NN-S4-NN-FW is a compact drive controller from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It is used in industrial automation to regulate power for synchronous or asynchronous servo axes, forming the link between motion commands and the connected motors. The unit combines a power section and a control section in one housing, so it can position, ramp, and stop loads without requiring a separate converter stage. This arrangement helps keep the drive system compact while supporting closed-loop axis control.

This controller operates on a three-phase supply of 3 × AC 200–500 V ±10%, which allows use across a broad range of industrial mains systems. Its device peak current reaches 18 A, so the unit can support short acceleration demands before current limiting intervenes. Thermal management uses internal air cooling through an integrated blower to move heat away from the power section. The enclosure has an IP20 rating, so it is intended for installation inside a control cabinet rather than direct exposure to dust or liquids. Motion commands and status data are exchanged through a SERCOS III master interface, which also supports real-time communication between connected drives.

The first encoder input accepts Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 signals, allowing high-resolution motor feedback for precise position control. The second feedback bay is not equipped, which suits applications that need only one sensor channel. The unit is Design Version 1 and uses the ADVANCED control platform for expanded motion functions. It can support coordinated features such as electronic gearing, camming, and additional control options when the application requires them. Power is shared through a common DC bus, so multiple drives in the same system can operate from a linked power structure without separate infeed hardware for each axis.
