Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-DA-S4-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As a modular power stage, it connects a three-phase AC supply to servo and spindle motors and regulates current and voltage so motion axes can follow commands from a machine PLC. In automated equipment, it supports torque and speed control for positioning tasks in packaging, handling, and processing machinery. This arrangement allows the drive to serve as the electrical link between the incoming supply and the connected motor while maintaining controlled axis movement.

Communication with higher-level equipment takes place over MultiEthernet, which allows the same hardware platform to work with several Ethernet-based networks. Signal processing is handled by a BASIC control section that is paired to the power module. Thermal management uses internal air cooling, with an integrated blower moving heat away from the power electronics during operation. The drive can deliver a peak current of 18 A, which provides short-term current reserve during acceleration and braking. Motor feedback is accepted through interface 1 and supports Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 protocols for position feedback.

The housing has an IP20 rating, so the unit is intended for installation inside a control cabinet. Input power is accepted from 3 × AC 200…500 V ±10 %, allowing operation across a wide range of regional supply voltages. Energy exchange with the DC bus supports infeeding and regenerative operation, so returned braking energy can be shared among multiple axes on the same bus. The unit is identified as Design Version 1. This version marking distinguishes the product generation without changing its role as a modular IndraDrive controller for coordinated motion applications.
