Product Description:

The HCS02.1E-W0070 is a modular drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. Installed inside a control cabinet, it links motion commands from the machine control to the power electronics that energize connected motors. This supports accurate acceleration, positioning, and regenerative braking in multi-axis production lines, pick-and-place stations, and packaging machinery. It serves as the interface between the higher-level control and the motor power section, so commanded motion profiles can be carried out with repeatable timing. The modular format also suits cabinet-based systems that require coordinated axis control across several machine sections.

Within the hardware hierarchy, it is classified as design version 1, so terminal layouts and parameter structures correspond to the first mechanical revision of the family. Thermal management is handled by internal air cooling, which pulls cabinet air through an integrated blower and keeps components within the permitted temperature range. The line designation HCS02 identifies a frame that houses mains modules up to mid-range power while remaining narrow for dense rack layouts. During dynamic moves, the controller can source a peak current of 70 A, supplying short bursts of torque for rapid indexing or load shocks during acceleration. Continuous mechanical output is adjustable from 1.5 to 11 kW, allowing the unit to be matched to compact servomotors or larger induction machines through parameter changes.

For axes that need to draw energy from and return it to the DC bus, the power stage supports infeeding and regenerative operation, allowing returned energy from decelerating axes to be reused instead of dissipated. This is useful in multi-axis layouts where some drives brake while others accelerate. Common parameter behavior across the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series supports consistent setup between stations and helps standardize multi-axis layouts. By combining controller logic, an integrated rectifier, and cooling in one housing, this drive controller reduces cabinet wiring in distributed installations. The same arrangement also lets one hardware platform cover multiple motor ratings without changing the overall control architecture.
