Product Description

Bosch Rexroth’s drive and motion control units have numerous product advantages to offer. Its HCS drive converters offer multi-protocol support with high-level compatibility with a wide range of encoder systems. They are used in machine tools, robotics, and handling and mounting systems.

The HCS01.1E-W0013-A-02-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW is a compact drive converter in the HCS series designed and manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. It supports firmware use but this must be ordered separately. According to the EN 60529 standard, it has an Ingress Protection rating of IP 20. This is because it does not admit solid external materials over 12mm. The Multi-Ethernet communication module in the drive converter allows it to be integrated in a wide range of Ethernet field bus systems, including EtherNet/IP, sercos III, PROFINET IO, and EtherCAT. It also has a multi-encoder interface for encoders like the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with reference track, the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with EnDat 2.1, the MS2N motor encoder, and the MSK motor encoder.

Like other drive converters in the HCS series, the HCS01.1E-W0013-A-02-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW belongs to category C3, according to IEC 61800-3. Hence, it should be operated in industrial areas only. The encoder emulation interface in the drive converter aids the emulation of absolute value and incremental encoder signals galvanically isolated from the circuit board. It is cooled by forced air cooling and mounted in a control cabinet where natural convection aids the heat dissipation process. The G1 mounting style also prevents the formation of pockets of heat. For the drive converter’s operation, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 0^oC and 40^oC. It should also be installed at a maximum height of 1,000m.
