Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-PB-L3-NN-FW is a compact axis inverter manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It regulates motor torque and speed in industrial automation cells that rely on coordinated multi-axis motion. The controller combines power electronics with the control hardware needed to convert three-phase supply power into controlled output for synchronous or induction servomotors. This allows repeatable positioning on conveyors, pick-and-place gantries, and processing machines. Because the inverter and control functions are housed in one unit, it can reduce cabinet complexity on compact machines.

On the power side, the drive tolerates a mains window of 3 × AC 200…500 V ±10%, allowing the same hardware to connect to low- or medium-voltage plant grids without tap changes. During rapid acceleration it can deliver a device peak current of 18 A, a short-term value that sets the maximum current available to the attached motor. Protection is limited to an IP20 enclosure, so the unit must be installed inside a cabinet. The control board offers MultiEthernet connectivity for TCP/IP-based communication with higher-level controllers, while a dedicated feedback socket supports Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 signals for precise servo-loop closure.

Command and diagnostic data can also be exchanged over PROFIBUS, which provides deterministic cyclic messaging when fieldbus wiring is preferred. Functional safety is handled by the integrated STO circuit, which removes torque-producing power from the motor when a safe stop is required. The unit uses a BASIC control section and internal blower cooling, so unobstructed panel airflow is necessary during operation. The power supply supports infeeding and shared DC-bus operation, allowing connected axes to exchange energy within the drive system.
