Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-ET-EC-NN-NN-NN-FW is a drive controller from Bosch Rexroth Indramat’s HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. The module forms the power section that modulates current and voltage for synchronous and asynchronous motors in automated machinery. Integrated diagnostics and fieldbus connectivity allow it to coordinate motion axes while maintaining a compact panel depth. This arrangement supports precise motor control in equipment where cabinet space and reliable communication are both important.

It communicates with PLCs over a MultiEthernet port that accepts common industrial protocols, so axis parameters can be changed without hardware modifications. The unit tolerates a mains supply of 3 × AC 200…500 V ±10 %, which allows use across a broad range of industrial power systems. Peak output capability reaches 18 A, giving the controller enough dynamic current for the starting and braking demands of medium-frame servo motors. Heat is expelled by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, which eliminates the need for external fans. The housing is rated IP20, so the controller must be installed inside a closed electrical cabinet. Feedback wiring connects through the Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 interface, allowing the unit to process absolute or incremental position data without an extra converter board.

Controller configuration is identified as Design Version 1, linking it to the first mechanical and electrical revision of the HCS01 line. Energy can be supplied to or regenerated through a common DC bus, which supports shared power flow between connected drive components. The specified BASIC control section mounts directly onto the power module for a matched controller layout. Interface 2 and the safety interface are left unequipped, so the unit is suited to applications that do not require those functions. This keeps the configuration straightforward while preserving the main motion-control and feedback capabilities of the drive.
