Product Description

The Bosch Rexroth HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW is a digital drive controller. It has four main components: a power section, a control section, a control panel and controller firmware. The power section on the controller works with AC input at 110 to 230 Volts AC. Operators can order power sections for HCS controller that work at higher input voltages. The output rating of the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW is 18 Amps, which is valid for specified ambient temperature and site elevation. Output of the controller falls below rated values if the site elevation if more than 3300 feet, if the ambient temperature is more than 40 degrees Celsius, or if the ambient temperature is less than 0 degrees Celsius. Bosch offers two types of control panels: standard and advanced. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW comes with a standard control panel. Operators an also offer advanced control panels that support hot plug and more memory.

Firmware for the unit must be ordered as a separate item. Bosch provides different firmware version that are optimized for different applications. Operators can order firmware that suits their requirements. Operators can order basic, advanced and economy control sections for HCS controllers. The control section on the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW belongs to the basic category. The drive enclosure is IP20 rated: it prevents ingress of solids with 12 millimeter of larger dimensions, but does not provide ingress protection against liquids. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW is equipped with a multi-encoder interface and a Multi-Ethernet interface. An optional Profibus module is also installed on the unit. A safety module with safe motion support is also installed. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-PB-S4-NN-FW dissipates heat inside the control cabinet. Therefore, operators must use large cabinets or air-conditioning to maintain ambient temperature within specified limits.
