Product Description:

The HDS04.1-W200N-HS38-01-FW is a drive controller module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. In an automation cabinet, it serves as the regulation stage between the power supply and connected servo or spindle axes, interpreting motion commands and returning real-time status data. By executing current, speed, and position loops, the unit supports coordinated multi-axis movement in machine tools, material-handling stations, and printing systems where deterministic response is required. Its modular format fits stacked drive assemblies used in centralized motion cabinets. Real-time feedback allows the higher-level control to monitor operating state during motion.

Communication to the motion PLC is handled through the SERCOS fiber-optic ring, which transmits setpoints and feedback with deterministic timing and electrical isolation. The controller belongs to the DIAX04 family, so it uses the same platform structure as companion modules in that system. Peak phase demand is limited by a rated current of 200 A, which supports high-output servo and spindle applications when paired with suitable power components. Thermal stability is maintained by a built-in internal air blower that moves cabinet air across the heat sink without external ducting. The designation Line 04 identifies this product line within the rack architecture.

The unit is built as Version 1, which places it in the initial release of this configuration. It is classified as an HDS Drive Controller, so it is intended for axis-control functions used in modular Rexroth drive systems. Status processing and command handling occur inside the controller, allowing it to work with higher-level controls that manage synchronized motion across multiple machine axes. The controller is installed as part of a modular cabinet layout rather than as a standalone field device.
