Product Description

Bosch Rexroth is a reliable and successful engineering brand, driven by innovation to provide different kinds of automation solutions. Its products include servo motors, drive converters, and whole drive systems. The company’s HCS drive converters have gained prominence among users thanks to their numerous interfaces and compact build.

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-CN-S4-NN-FW is an HCS drive converter model equipped with a multi-encoder interface. This makes it compatible with a wide range of encoders with supply voltages of 5V and 12V. Some of these encoders are the MS2N motor encoder, the MSM motor encoder, the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with EnDat 2.1, and the 5V-TTL square-wave encoder with reference track. Its maximum current rating is 18A, while its mains connecting voltage ranges from 200V to 500V. Communication between this HCS model and its drive is seamless as it has a Multi-Ethernet communication module, allowing its integration in different field bus systems. They include EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO, and sercos III.

Allowed switching frequencies for the operation of the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-CN-S4-NN-FW are 4kHz, 8kHz, 12kHz, and 16kHz. It is cooled by forced air cooling within a control cabinet where it is mounted in the G1 position. This position also allows natural convection to support the cooling air, such that the generation of pockets of heat within the cabinet is avoided. There is a standard control panel in the drive converter used for parameterization and error diagnoses. The single-line display on this user panel displays operating states, command and error diagnoses, and pending warnings. User safety is provided by Safe Motion in this HCS model. Its recommended maximum installation altitude is 1,000m above mean sea level.
