Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0028-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-S4-NN-FW drive controller is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It functions as the power and control interface between a three-phase mains supply and synchronous or induction motors, executing closed-loop speed and torque regulation for automated assembly cells, packaging lines, and handling systems. Within an IndraDrive installation, it occupies the converter slot, receives commands from a higher-level PLC, and delivers regulated current to the connected axes.

A multi-protocol Ethernet port provides system networking through the MultiEthernet communication interface, allowing real-time exchange over SERCOS III, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET without additional hardware. The mains input range is 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10%, so one unit can operate across common industrial supply levels. Peak output capability reaches 28 A, giving current margin for acceleration and brief overload events. Thermal management uses internal air cooling through an integrated blower, which directs cabinet air across the heat sink without external ducting. For electrical safety, the housing has an IP20 rating, so it is finger-safe and intended for installation inside a control cabinet.

The unit uses the BASIC control section type, which suits general-purpose motion tasks while keeping the footprint compact. Feedback wiring is accepted through a multifunction encoder port with IndraDyn encoder support for Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2, allowing absolute position capture for compatible motors. Within the broader family, it is classified under the line designation HCS01, which indicates the mechanical dimensions and cooling arrangement. The power interface supports infeeding or fed operation, so the module can either supply DC bus energy to neighboring drives or draw from an existing DC link. Design version 1 and an unpopulated Interface 2 slot leave room for later functional expansion without rewiring.
