Product Description:

The HDS04.1-W200N-HA28-01-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. In multi-axis assemblies, it sits between the supply unit and individual servo amplifiers to coordinate motion in machining cells, packaging lines, and material-handling robots. The controller converts incoming command values into controlled current and voltage so each motor axis can follow its programmed speed and torque profile with minimal delay. Because the drive controller handles the power stage for an axis, the higher-level control system can issue motion commands while the module regulates motor response at the rack level.

This controller exchanges setpoint and feedback data through an analog interface, allowing ±10 V velocity or torque references from a PLC or motion card. It can deliver up to 200 A of continuous output, which suits medium-to-large servo axes that draw substantial current during acceleration and load changes. Thermal management is provided by a built-in air blower; cabinet air is pulled through the heatsink, so no external ducting is required. The analog input arrangement also suits systems that generate speed or torque commands directly rather than sending them over a digital network. The unit is part of the DIAX04 platform and mounts on the common backplane, which helps keep electrical integration straightforward. It also shares the system bus with neighboring modules for coordinated control inside the rack.

Within the power range of this series, the module occupies Line 04, placing it in the corresponding channel position for compatible system layouts. That placement keeps the mechanical format aligned with matching supplies and feedback cards installed in the same rack. The unit is Version 1, indicating the first release for this model code. Its rack-mounted format supports orderly placement in cabinets where several coordinated axes are installed side by side. This layout allows the controller to remain part of a centralized drive system without requiring separate external mounting hardware for each axis module.
