Product Description

Drive converters in Bosch Rexroth’s IndraDrive drive system are a group of components that immensely enhance the system’s efficiency. The HCS drive converters are compact units that offer vast interfaces for communication with excellent performance. They are used in handling and mounting systems, machine tools, and food packaging machines.

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-ET-EC-NN-S5-NN-FW is a drive converter in the HCS series by Bosch Rexroth, designed to accommodate a maximum current of 18A. It communicates with other system components using a Multi-Ethernet communication module, allowing its integration in different Ethernet field bus systems. These include EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO, and sercos III. The drive converter is equipped with Safe Motion as its safety technology and supports the use of firmware, which should be ordered separately. It also has a standard control panel used as a programming module. This control panel has a single-line display where users can view operating states, command and error diagnoses, and pending warnings.

One of the most impressive features of the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-ET-EC-NN-S5-NN-FW is its multi-encoder interface. This supports a wide range of standard encoder systems with supply voltage ratings of 5V and 12V. They include the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with Hiperface, the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with EnDat 2.1, the 5V-TTL square-wave encoder with reference track, and the MS2N motor encoder. Based on the Ingress Protection rating guide, this HCS drive converter belongs to the IP 20 protection category. This is because it is designed to be resistant to the penetration of solid extrinsic materials over 12mm. It is cooled via forced ventilation and installed in the G1 mounting position. During its operation, the ambient temperature should not exceed 40^oC.
