Product Description:

The HDS04.1-W200N-HS42-03-FW is a modular drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. It serves as the link between centralized motion processors and individual servo axes in automated equipment, converting network telegrams into the high-current pulses needed by power modules. Because the unit houses both logic and power interfaces, it supports compact cabinet layouts, synchronized multi-axis motion, and rapid diagnostic response. This arrangement allows the controller to coordinate drive commands and power-stage activity within a single module. Typical use includes packaging, printing, and material-handling machinery where coordinated torque control and quick response to velocity commands are important for stable cycle timing and product quality.

Drive command traffic enters through a SERCOS optical ring, which supports cycle-synchronous data delivery. Within the DIAX04 platform, dedicated signal processors translate each telegram into PWM gate patterns for the IGBT bridge. The assembly is built for continuous operation at 200 A, allowing it to energize high-torque servo motors without external boosters. Generated heat is removed by an internal air blower, so cabinet temperatures stay within allowable limits during demanding acceleration profiles. This helps the drive maintain stable output when connected axes are subject to frequent starts, stops, and speed changes.

The product is classified as an HDS Drive Controller, and its back-plane connectors align with DDS and DLC modules for consistent module integration in multi-axis racks. The unit is part of Line 04, which shares mounting points and plug positions with other members of the platform. The shared mechanical format keeps module placement predictable when several axes are installed in the same cabinet. The controller is Version 1.
