Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat's HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW is part of the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. This HCS Drive Controller converts line power into regulated DC and switching waveforms for synchronous or induction motors, enabling position and velocity loops within automated packaging machines, transfer lines, and assembly cells. The unit follows the HCS01 mechanical outline and is identified as design version 1, so it fits standard 45 mm frame widths and matches the wiring accessories used for that line. Its role is to act as the axis inverter that partners with a separate control section to close motion loops.

The power stage accepts a three-phase supply of 3 × AC 200…500 V ±10% and internally rectifies and buffers that energy. When load surges occur, it can deliver up to 18 A of device peak current without tripping, which covers short acceleration peaks on medium-inertia drives. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so no external ducting is required. Protection against accidental contact is classified as IP20, which is suitable for installation inside a closed electrical cabinet. Network traffic for configuration and real-time commands is handled over MultiEthernet, allowing the same hardware to join EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or EtherCAT fieldbuses without option cards.

For feedback and higher-level logic, the controller is paired with a BASIC control section, as indicated in the type code and pairing note. Rotor position can be read directly through the high-resolution Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 interface, while legacy systems may be served by the selectable encoder emulation port. The DC bus is supplied and regenerated by an infeeding and regenerative power module, making the unit suitable for multi-axis common-bus installations. No additional design options are included beyond the baseline functions.
