Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-PB-L4-NN-FW is an HCS drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. Assigned to the compact HCS01 line, this controller links a power supply section with field devices to regulate servo drives in industrial automation cells. Its role is to condition three-phase mains power, generate controlled output currents, and execute safety-related torque shutdown functions for precise, repeatable motion sequences.

Electrical compatibility starts with a nominal input window of 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10%, so the drive can be connected to regional power grids without an autotransformer. Once energized, it can supply up to 18 A of peak current to the connected motor, covering rapid acceleration phases before returning to continuous ratings. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, which channels cabinet air through the heat sink to maintain semiconductor temperatures. Protection against accidental contact is limited to an IP20 enclosure, so additional panel shielding is required in exposed areas. For axis coordination, a SERCOS III master with cross communication port is provided, allowing deterministic motion commands to pass directly between multiple drives without occupying the PLC backplane. The power section supports infeeding and fed operation.

In applications that require integrated feedback and fieldbus layers, the controller includes a PROFIBUS port for cyclic I/O exchange and an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder feedback channel that connects directly to compatible Rexroth rotary or linear motors. Its functional safety package combines STO (Safe Torque Off) and SBC (Safe Brake Control), allowing Category 3 stop requirements to be met without external relays. When paired with the ADVANCED control section noted in the pairing information, the controller supports extended diagnostic processing and multi-axis interpolation while preserving deterministic timing.
