Product Description:

The HCT02.1E-W0020-A-03-B-L8-2N-D1-D1-NN-FW is a multi-axis drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HCT Multi Axis Drive Controllers series. It distributes DC-link energy and supervises coordinated motion for several servomotor axes in automated assembly lines, packaging machines, and material-handling stations. Classified under product line 02, the unit follows a basic control design that supports standard positioning and speed loops without optional special features, giving machine builders a consistent platform for mainstream automation tasks.

This controller accepts a three-phase supply of 3 x AC 200-500 V, so it can be installed on common low-voltage industrial networks. The input can vary by ±10% without derating, which simplifies plant-wide power distribution. A continuous output capability of 20 kW allows simultaneous operation of several medium-frame servo axes from one module. Thermal management relies on internal air cooling through an integrated blower, removing heat directly from the heat sink rather than the cabinet space. The housing meets IP20 requirements, meaning live parts are finger-safe, but the controller must be mounted in a closed cabinet. For upstream protection, the unit carries a short-circuit current rating of 42,000 A RMS, allowing it to be placed on high-capacity mains feeders without additional current-limiting devices.

Axis orchestration is handled through an onboard Embedded PC, LX 800 link, allowing motion commands and diagnostic data to be exchanged without external gateways. Two slots can be populated with the DEA40.1 digital I/O extension, providing additional start inhibit, feedback, or sensor channels when more complex machine sequences are required. Because the power interface is specified as Feeding, the HCT02.1E module supplies DC-link voltage to downstream inverters, reducing the number of separate power supplies in a multi-axis rack while maintaining a common energy buffer for dynamic braking and regeneration.
