Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-ET-EC-DA-L3-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. Acting as the power stage between the plant's AC mains and synchronous or induction servo motors, the unit regulates torque and speed according to commands from a higher-level motion processor. In industrial automation, this controller supplies the switching elements, current sensing, and protective functions required to move packaging, material-handling, and assembly axes with repeatable accuracy. This arrangement supports coordinated axes that need stable control during acceleration, deceleration, and position holding.

This unit uses design version 1 for its mechanical and electrical layout. The controller accepts a three-phase supply of 3 x AC 200…500 V ±10% and can deliver up to 18 A of peak phase current during dynamic load changes. Thermal energy is removed by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so no ducted cabinet air is needed. Its control electronics and power terminals are guarded by an IP20 enclosure rating, which limits installation to closed panels. For functional safety, the unit includes STO (Safe Torque Off), which disables motor energization when triggered. This arrangement suits enclosed electrical cabinets where airflow can move through the drive while live parts remain protected.

Motion commands and diagnostics use the MultiEthernet interface, which accepts several real-time Ethernet protocols on a single port. Motor position feedback enters through the dedicated Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 channel on Interface 1. The power section supports infeeding / fed operation, enabling it to share the DC bus with energy-recovering units throughout the system. This combination allows the controller to exchange network commands while receiving motor feedback on a dedicated input. Within the HCS01 line, it is paired with a BASIC control section, as noted in the ordering data.
