Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EC-L4-NN-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. This single-axis unit combines a compact power stage with an integrated control section to regulate synchronous and asynchronous motors in automated machinery. By adjusting current and voltage to the connected motor, the controller carries out speed, torque, and position commands from a higher-level PLC. It is suited for coordinated motion tasks on packaging lines, handling systems, and process equipment where accurate motor control is required.

The communication layer is based on MultiEthernet, so the drive can communicate over EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT without additional hardware. Its power section accepts 3 x AC 200…500 V with a tolerance of ±10%, which covers common industrial supply ranges. During acceleration or dynamic braking, the module can deliver a peak current of 18 A, providing short-term torque reserve for the connected motor. The enclosure has an IP20 rating, so it is intended for installation inside a control cabinet. Encoder feedback is handled through duplicated channels that accept IndraDyn and Hiperface signals compatible with EnDat 2.1 and 2.2, which supports precise motion control without external converter modules.

The control section carries the BASIC designation, which is suitable for standard positioning tasks without optional technology packages. Thermal management uses internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so heat is removed by the built-in fan. For functional safety, the unit provides separate channels for STO and SBC, allowing torque shutdown and brake control within safety circuits. The power stage supports infeeding and fed operation, which makes the device suitable for common DC bus arrangements. These features allow the controller to fit compact motion applications that need integrated networking, cabinet installation, and standard safety functions.
