Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS16-01-FW is a modular drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Installed in a multi-axis rack, it receives energy from a common DC bus and converts it into pulse-width-modulated power for servo motors used in industrial automation. The unit accepts motion commands, regulates current, and processes feedback so conveyor sections, pick-and-place arms, and converting machines can maintain accurate speed, torque, and position during repeatable production cycles. This type of controller is suited for machines that require coordinated motion, stable response, and consistent closed-loop operation across several driven sections. Its rack-based format also allows it to operate beside matching power supply and interface modules without requiring a separate standalone enclosure.

Its real-time command layer uses the SERCOS fiber-optic interface for deterministic communication and fast exchange of setpoint, status, and diagnostic data. As part of the DIAX04 platform, the drive shares mechanical dimensions and connector layouts with matching power supplies and interface cards used in the same rack. Thermal regulation is handled by a built-in air blower that moves ambient air through the heat sink and removes internal loss heat without external ducting. The converter section is rated for 200 A of continuous output, which supports large servo motors and other axes that require sustained torque. The unit is part of Line 04, which identifies its place within this product line.

The drive is Version 2. As an HDS Drive Controller, it manages motor current, monitors phase symmetry, and forwards fault data to the SERCOS master for centralized control response. The module also handles regenerative energy within the rack during deceleration and changing load conditions. By supervising these electrical functions inside the controller, the unit supports stable motor operation and coordinated response with the rest of the drive system.
