Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS11-01-FW is an axis drive module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is supplied as part of the HDS Drive Controllers series. The unit converts DC-link energy into regulated three-phase output, enabling precise velocity and position control for servo motors in packaging lines, material-handling cells, and other automated machines. In servo applications, it regulates motor current continuously so the connected axis can accelerate, decelerate, and hold commanded speed with stable motion response. That behavior is useful where repeated starts, stops, and synchronized positioning must remain consistent across long production runs.

Communication between the drive and the machine control is handled through the SERCOS serial interface, so parameter data and real-time setpoints share the same fiber-optic ring without separate signal wiring. Because control traffic moves through the same optical network, the installation avoids extra discrete communication cabling between the controller and the drive. The module is sized for a rated output of 200 A, allowing it to energize large-torque motors that require high continuous current. Heat generated by those currents is removed by a built-in air blower, which circulates cabinet air across the heat sink to keep power components within their operating range. Within the DIAX platform, the controller belongs to the DIAX04 family and is part of Line 04, matching the layout used by related modules in the same system.

This model follows a modular card concept that lets several axes slide onto a common backplane. That arrangement reduces wiring length between modules, keeps the cabinet layout compact in multi-axis installations, and supports orderly placement of power and control sections. It can be installed beside supply units and companion axes without requiring point-to-point wiring between every module. The unit is Version 2. This version identifies the product generation for the controller within the same product line.
