Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat's HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-NN-NW belongs to the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. This AC drive controller conditions three-phase power and commands attached IndraDyn motors, delivering regulated torque, speed, and position for automated machinery. By integrating power electronics, axis control, and network connectivity in one compact housing, it suits packaging lines, assembly cells, and handling stations where panel space and centralized diagnostics are important. It serves as the control and power stage for a single machine axis while keeping the installation compact and organized inside the cabinet.

The controller accepts a three-phase supply of 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10%, allowing operation on both low- and mid-voltage factory mains without tap changes. From that input, it can deliver a device peak current of 18 A, which supports short bursts of motor acceleration or braking before current limiting occurs. Thermal management uses internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so no external heat sink is required and cabinet airflow can be arranged around the unit itself. The power section is classified as infeeding / fed, which means the unit can draw energy from or return energy to a shared DC bus. Motion algorithms run on a control section labeled Basic, which provides standard position and velocity loops for single-axis tasks.

Field communication is handled by a Multi-Ethernet port that supports several real-time Ethernet protocols over one connector, simplifying network design. Motor feedback is processed through an IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface, while the second feedback socket and the safety interface are not equipped. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so the controller must be mounted inside a switchgear cabinet protected from conductive dust and liquid spray. This arrangement keeps the controller focused on one motor feedback channel and standard network communication. As part of the HCS01 line, it shares mounting geometry with related modules in the family, which helps when similar axes are grouped in the same cabinet.
