Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-PB-NN-AA-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It bridges the incoming mains supply and the motor field wiring, executing closed-loop speed and torque commands in automated packaging, material-handling, and assembly lines. By integrating power electronics, feedback processing, and fieldbus routing inside a narrow housing, the unit serves as the core motion element for single-axis stations that require coordinated and repeatable positioning.

The power section accepts 3 × AC 200…500 V ±10%, allowing operation on 230 V or 400 V networks without hardware changes. This wide input range supports installations with varying supply conditions. During acceleration, it can deliver 18 A of peak output current, which is the short-term motor current limit. Thermal management uses internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so cabinet airflow does not need to pass through the heat sink. Fan speed is controlled by temperature sensors to reduce noise during lighter operating periods. The housing is rated IP20, so live parts must remain inside an enclosed panel. Motion tasks are processed by the BASIC control section, which supports standard positioning loops.

The controller provides a MultiEthernet port that can be switched between PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT for communication with the plant PLC. For motor feedback, it supports IndraDyn Hiperface or EnDat 2.1 / 2.2 encoder feedback, and a separate channel provides PROFIBUS communication for legacy devices. The unit uses an infeeding and fed supply concept, allowing shared DC-bus energy and regenerative operation. No safety interface is installed. The third design version is indicated by code 03, and the HCS01 product line places the controller within the compact single-axis IndraDrive platform.
