Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS22-01-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied within the HDS Drive Controllers series. Designed for multi-axis automation, it links higher-level control electronics with individual power amplifiers and converts digital commands into regulated drive signals. This allows connected axes to coordinate speed, torque, and position control during synchronized machine motion. The controller is used in equipment where several drives must respond together during indexing, feed control, or continuous-process movement. By separating command handling from the amplifier hardware, the unit supports coordinated motion while centralizing axis supervision inside the drive system.

Communication is handled through SERCOS, which provides deterministic cyclic data exchange between the controller and the motion system. That communication method supports synchronized updates between the controller, the PLC, and the connected axes. The power section is sized for up to 200 A of continuous output current, allowing the unit to support large servo or spindle motors. Thermal stability is maintained by a built-in air blower, so heat can be removed from internal components without external cooling hardware. The unit is Version 2. Within the DIAX motion system, it belongs to the DIAX04 family and uses the same backplane connection format as related modules, which supports consistent integration in modular drive racks.

The product is part of Line 04, and it uses standardized card widths that help keep rack layouts consistent when several axes are installed. It acts as the primary drive module for each axis group, receiving setpoints over the real-time motion bus before passing regulated commands to matched amplifiers. This arrangement helps the system respond to changing loads while keeping communication timing stable across the axis network. Because the controller works with separate amplifier stages, machine layouts can distribute control and power functions across adjacent modules without changing the basic rack structure. Setpoint handling and amplifier coordination are performed within the same control path, so each axis can follow commanded motion with predictable timing.
