Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EP-SB-NN-AW is a drive controller from Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It links a three-phase mains supply to servo or induction axes so that speed, torque, and position follow PLC commands in automated machinery. In practical use, it serves as the power and control stage between the incoming supply and the motor, supporting coordinated axis movement in packaging, handling, and general factory systems. The unit is an HCS drive controller with design version 1 and no additional design features, giving it a streamlined configuration for standard motion tasks.

The controller communicates with higher-level systems over MultiEthernet, allowing TCP/IP-based fieldbus selection without hardware changes. It accepts a supply of 3 x AC 200 to 500 V ±10%, which supports installation on a wide range of industrial power systems. Inside the power stage, a peak output of 18 A is available for short acceleration periods before current limiting begins. Motor feedback is handled through an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface, so the drive can process both absolute and incremental position signals. The enclosure has an IP20 rating, which provides basic finger protection and requires installation in a closed cabinet where dust or fluids may be present.

Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so the unit uses cabinet air and does not require external ducting. The integrated blower moves air through the heat-sink channels, helping remove thermal load during continuous operation. The control section is the BASIC type, which limits the drive to standard motion functions rather than advanced technology packages. The unit belongs to the HCS01 line and is configured for infeeding and fed operation, allowing it to share a common DC bus with matching converters.
