Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0028-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-SB-NN-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It converts three-phase AC supply power into regulated motor voltages while executing motion commands generated by higher-level PLCs. Within automated production cells, the unit coordinates speed and torque loops for axes such as pick-and-place gantries, feeders, and conveyor segments. Its integrated control and power electronics reduce panel space and simplify cabinet wiring for compact axis control when compared with discrete amplifier architectures.

For electrical integration, the controller accepts a supply of 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10%, allowing operation on a broad range of plant voltages. The power stage can deliver up to 28 A of peak output current, giving machines sufficient short-term torque for rapid acceleration or braking events. Networked control is handled through a MultiEthernet interface that supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and additional protocol selections in one port. Motor feedback connects through an IndraDyn Hiperface and EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder interface for high-resolution position data, enabling tight servo loops. Cabinet installation is simplified by the drive’s IP20 housing, which provides finger-safe protection without requiring a gasketed enclosure.

The control section fitted to this module is the BASIC variant, paired at the factory to match the power stage and feature set. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so external ducting or liquid loops are unnecessary. DC bus energy is exchanged through an infeeding and power-sharing supply scheme, which lets adjacent axes share regenerated power in multi-axis systems. The compact frame coded HCS01 is the smallest mechanical size in the line, and Interface 2 remains unequipped for option cards.
