Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S5-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It combines power electronics and motion control in one module to manage a single servo axis in automated packaging, assembly, or handling equipment. By regulating current, speed, and position while exchanging data with a PLC, the unit provides the closed-loop control needed for precise industrial motion.

Coded as design version 1 in the HCS01 line, the controller links to supervisory systems through a MultiEthernet interface, allowing EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT connectivity without add-on cards. It is delivered with a BASIC control section, so standard positioning tasks are supported while advanced safety features remain optional. The power stage accepts a three-phase mains supply of 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10%, making it compatible with common plant voltage ranges. Short-term motor demand is supported up to a peak of 18 A, allowing brief increases in torque when the application requires it. An enclosure rating of IP20 provides finger protection but requires installation inside a ventilated cabinet. No additional design options are declared for this version.

Heat is removed by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so the drive moves cabinet air across the heat sink without external ducting. Interface 1 supports IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder feedback for absolute motor position data. Interface 2 provides encoder emulation for downstream devices that require incremental pulse signals. The power module is rated for infeed and fed operation, meaning it can both supply and absorb energy on a shared DC bus. This arrangement supports integration with absolute-feedback motors while also serving external equipment that relies on emulated encoder signals.
