Product Description:

The HDS04.1-W200N-HS54-01-FW is a modular drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. Designed for multi-axis automation racks, the unit converts DC link energy from a shared supply into controlled three-phase output that regulates servo motors and keeps axes synchronized with higher-level PLC motion profiles. This arrangement allows one rack supply to feed several axes while each controller meters motor current independently. Closed-loop control of current, velocity, and position helps the module manage rapid indexing, coordinated gearing, and point-to-point motion in machine tools, handling systems, and packaging lines.

Communication between the drive and the motion controller is handled through the SERCOS optical ring, which provides deterministic data exchange without separate analog reference wiring. The hardware layout follows the DIAX04 controller family, so mechanical dimensions and connector placement match neighboring modules in the same rack. Matching rack geometry supports multi-axis layouts where several controllers share common bus structures and signal routing. Thermal management relies on a built-in air blower, which moves cabinet air across the heat sink and helps keep semiconductor temperatures within operating limits. The power stage can deliver a continuous current of 200 A, making the unit suitable for large torque axes such as gantry drives or hydraulic pump replacements. The product is part of Line 04.

The drive is Version 1. Its command interface supports cyclic process data, clock-synchronous trigger signals, and direct diagnostics without auxiliary fieldbus cards. Classified as an HDS Drive Controller, it works with HMS power supplies and HDZ auxiliary modules for regenerative energy handling in the rack. This allows the controller to operate as part of a coordinated drive assembly while keeping the module focused on axis regulation and communication tasks.
