Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW is an AC drive controller in the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series from Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It interfaces with servo or induction motors and supplies regulated power while processing feedback signals for automated assemblies such as pick-and-place stations, conveyors, and packaging lines. The unit is part of the compact HCS01 line and can be paired with a matching control section for velocity, torque, and position control. Its modular format supports use in distributed factory networks where compact drive hardware is required.

The power stage connects to three-phase mains at 3 x AC 200–500 V ±10%, giving the controller broad compatibility across common plant voltages. A peak output of 18 A supports short acceleration bursts without overcurrent shutdown. Heat is removed by an internal air blower, which circulates airflow through the power section and removes the need for external cabinet ducting. The housing has an IP20 rating, so the unit is intended for installation inside a protected control cabinet. Communication to higher-level PLCs is handled through Multi-Ethernet, allowing the same hardware to support Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, or SERCOS III.

The attached control section is the BASIC variant, which provides axis logic and diagnostic functions for standard motion tasks. Motor feedback is processed through IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder feedback, enabling precise position and speed control with compatible Rexroth motors. A separate fieldbus channel supports PROFIBUS for deterministic machine coordination between the drive and the automation system. The DC link uses an infeeding and shared energy topology, allowing multiple drives on the same bus to exchange regenerated energy. The power section is identified as HCS01, and the build is Design Version 1.
