Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-ET-EC-EC-S4-NN-FW is a drive controller built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. In an automation cell, this unit forms the power stage that coordinates motor torque, speed, and position under closed-loop control. It links motion tasks to programmable logic controllers or CNC systems through its integrated network and feedback ports. This role allows the controller to regulate a connected motor axis during changing load conditions.

The control section communicates over MultiEthernet, so the same hardware can be addressed by PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT without changing the device. It draws power from a three-phase mains supply rated at 3 x AC 200–500 V ±10%, giving flexibility for a wide range of plant voltages. Thermal energy is expelled by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, and the blower pushes cabinet air across the heat sink without external ducting. During acceleration or braking demands, the power stage handles a peak output of 18 A, which is the maximum transient current delivered to the connected motor windings. An enclosure classification of IP20 limits installation to closed electrical cabinets where parts are not exposed to dripping water or conductive debris. Position feedback enters on two identical ports that accept Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 signals, allowing dual-loop configurations or encoder redundancy when required.

The product is Design Version 1. The integrated power electronics can operate as both an energy source and an energy sink, described as infeeding and feeding, which lets a multi-axis rack share regenerated energy over the DC bus. For application programming, the drive uses a basic control section, so parameter sets are transferred to the controller board that attaches to the power unit. This arrangement supports common DC-bus operation in coordinated multi-axis systems.
