Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0028-A-03-B-ET-EC-EP-DA-NN-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It connects plant-level PLC commands to synchronous or induction motors used on conveyors, pick-and-place gantries, and packaging axes. Inside one compact housing, the unit rectifies three-phase mains power, inverts it to variable frequency for the motor, and hosts a plug-in control section that executes positioning, speed, and torque loops for a single axis. This arrangement lets the controller combine power conversion and axis control without separate power and control modules. It is intended for machines that need coordinated motor response from a compact cabinet-mounted drive.

This controller accepts a three-phase mains range of 200–500 V AC ±10%, allowing one model to serve both low- and medium-voltage installations. Its power stage can deliver a peak output current of 28 A, which limits the acceleration torque available before current limiting occurs. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling provided by an integrated blower, so no external ducting is required. Fieldbus connectivity is handled by the MultiEthernet platform, enabling direct interface to EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT networks. This communication option supports integration with established industrial Ethernet control networks. The metal housing carries an IP20 rating and must be mounted inside a protected electrical cabinet. The cabinet enclosure must provide protection from accidental contact and airborne contamination. Motion logic runs on the BASIC control section, which provides standard axis functions for a single axis.

The product is Version 1. Motor feedback enters through an encoder port that supports Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 transducers, allowing absolute position capture at high resolution. This feedback interface supports absolute encoder communication without requiring separate resolver hardware. DC bus energy is exchanged through a common DC bus infeed scheme, so multiple axes can share regenerated power across a common intermediate circuit. When one axis decelerates and another accelerates, the shared bus can transfer returned energy within the system instead of dissipating it immediately.
