Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0028-A-03-B-ET-EC-PB-NN-NN-FW drive controller is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It supplies closed-loop motor regulation, manages axis synchronization, and routes power to connected servomotors inside automated assembly stations and conveyor modules. By combining power electronics with programmable control in a single housing, the unit saves panel space and supports deterministic motion performance on compact equipment. The device also provides bus communication so diagnostic data, status words, and parameter sets can be exchanged with higher-level PLC systems during production.

Its power stage is dimensioned for a device peak current of 28 A, allowing short-term torque surges during acceleration without triggering overcurrent trips. The controller accepts incoming mains within 3 x AC 200 to 500 V ±10%, so it can operate on both 230 V and 400 V factory grids. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling, and the embedded fan channels cabinet air across the heat sink without external ducting. Component protection corresponds to IP20, which permits installation inside a ventilated enclosure while helping prevent accidental finger contact with live parts. Field communication runs on MultiEthernet, providing access for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP masters that exchange commands and diagnostics in real time.

Axis feedback is routed through the Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 interface, giving high-resolution position data to the drive processor. Where cell controllers still use cyclic telegrams, the onboard PROFIBUS interface maintains deterministic data exchange without external gateways. Regenerative energy is processed by the infeeding and feed-in power supply concept, so excess DC-link voltage can be shared across the drive group instead of being dissipated as heat. Application logic resides in the BASIC control section. This hardware generation does not include a safety interface.
