Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-SB-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It manages power conversion and motion commands between plant mains and IndraDyn servo motors. It provides closed-loop regulation for positioning and speed tasks used in packaging lines, material handling stations, and other automated machinery. The controller is used where coordinated motor response is required across repeating machine cycles.

The controller communicates with higher-level PLC or DCS systems through MultiEthernet, allowing fast parameter access and synchronous control cycles. Its power stage accepts a three-phase supply of 3 x AC 200–500 V ±10% and can deliver up to 18 A of peak current to the connected motor windings. Thermal energy created by switching losses is expelled by internal air cooling that moves air through an integrated blower, eliminating the need for an external heat sink. The housing carries an IP20 ingress rating, so it must be installed inside a control cabinet that provides additional protection. The MultiEthernet interface allows the drive to work with common Ethernet-based fieldbuses through parameter settings, so the same hardware can suit different plant networks.

A modular design separates the power section from the control section, and this unit is paired with the BASIC control module for standard motion functions. Rotor position feedback is processed through an encoder input for IndraDyn Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2, making the device compatible with both incremental and absolute transducers. DC link energy is managed by an infeeding and feeding power supply concept, enabling shared bus configurations for multi-axis systems. The hardware corresponds to Version 1, and positioning or speed-control functions are activated through parameter sets without physical modification.
