Product Description

The Bosch HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-NN-L3-NN-FW is an industrial motor controller. It is compatible with several motor product lines from Bosch Rexroth. It is designed for forced air cooling. Air taken in from an inlet at the bottom of the unit is forced across heated controller components. The heated air exits via an outlet at the top of the unit. Large cabinets should be used to ensure appropriate spacing between devices. Operators can also use air-conditioning to maintain ambient temperature within prescribed limits. The specified ambient temperature is 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Output of the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-NN-L3-NN-FW falls below 18 Amps if the temperature goes outside these limits. The controller output also derates if the site elevation goes above 1000 meters. The power section on the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-NN-L3-NN-FW is an economy control section. Bosch also provides basic and advanced control sections for HCS units.

The module controller is equipped with a safety module that supports safe torque off (STO), a safety function that is used to shut off the torque, or rotational force, of an electric motor in order to prevent accidents and injuries. STO helps to ensure that machinery and equipment are safe to operate, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. STO can help to prevent damage to machinery and equipment, resulting in increased reliability and uptime. STO can help to extend the life of machinery and equipment, reducing the need for maintenance and repairs. STO can help to improve the efficiency of machinery and equipment, leading to cost savings and increased productivity. Many industries and organizations have regulations that require the use of STO to ensure the safety of workers and equipment. A slot for a plug in module is available on the unit. Additionally, the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-NN-L3-NN-FW supports a multi-encoder interface and a SERCOS/EtherCat communication interface.
