Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS12-01-NW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. Installed in a multi-axis rack, it regulates energy delivered from a shared power supply to individual servo inverters, coordinating rapid positional moves in packaging, printing, and general material-handling machinery. By translating network setpoints into precise phase currents, the unit bridges higher-level PLC logic with the motor modules that propel the mechanical load. It is suited for applications where several axes must respond together under shared supply conditions without losing control accuracy during rapid motion changes.

The controller communicates over the SERCOS optical bus, so position, velocity, and diagnostic data move between the axis electronics and the central motion processor in fixed, deterministic cycles. Thermal management is handled by a built-in air blower that draws air through the heat sink fins, and the unit can supply continuous output of 200 A to the connected drive cards. As part of the DIAX04 family, it uses the same back-plane connector style as adjacent axes in compatible racks. The unit is release 2, and the designation Line 04 indicates the physical slot height required inside the rack.

As an HDS Drive Controller, the module uses the standard configuration for this model. Control logic and power-semiconductor placement maintain steady cabinet airflow through the heat sink, limiting temperature rise during synchronous current regulation. The fixed slot format aligns the housing with compatible rack dimensions, and the front mechanical layout matches the spacing used by related system modules. This allows the controller to operate as a dedicated rack-mounted power and control stage within a coordinated multi-axis drive system.
