Product Description:

The HDS03.2-W100N-HS38-01-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the HDS Drive Controllers series. It mounts inside a modular multi-axis rack and interfaces with supply modules to coordinate servo drives on factory machinery. By processing axis commands and energizing connected inverters, the unit provides closed-loop position and velocity regulation for industrial automation, packaging equipment, and material-handling cells. This arrangement lets the controller manage regulated motion on axes that must respond accurately to commanded speed and position changes.

It draws a rated current of 100 A, so the cabinet power bus and protective devices must be sized for high transient loads during acceleration. Thermal management is handled by a built-in air blower that channels airflow across the heat sinks instead of relying on cabinet fans, which helps keep internal components within their intended temperature range. Command data and real-time feedback move over the SERCOS fiber-optic loop, allowing deterministic communication with motion controllers while minimizing electromagnetic interference. The unit belongs to the DIAX04 family, which uses a common backplane connection layout across multiple power classes. That shared platform supports coordinated multi-axis installations without changing the controller's basic operating role.

The product is part of Line 03 and is Version 2. These identifiers indicate the product generation used for this controller type and separate it from earlier releases without changing its function as a rack-mounted drive controller. It is intended for systems that separate the supply module from the axis controller, allowing the rack to distribute control tasks across multiple coordinated axes. This keeps the controller focused on command processing, current control, and communication within the shared drive assembly.
