Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS45-01-FW is an AC drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. Installed in modular multi-axis racks next to power supplies and servo drives, it translates motion commands from a higher-level PLC into regulated current for connected motors. In automated assembly cells, it helps maintain position, velocity, and torque accuracy so synchronized axes follow programmed trajectories. Its rack-mounted format supports use in systems where several coordinated axes share a common drive platform. Because the controller works inside a modular rack, several axes can be grouped in one drive assembly instead of using separate standalone units.

The controller’s SERCOS implementation uses 2 kbit telegram cycles over fiber-optic links, allowing parameter changes and diagnostic feedback without affecting drive timing. Data exchange is handled through the unit’s Command Communication Interface, which lets it operate on a synchronous real-time ring with compatible drives. As part of the DIAX04 family, the module uses a standardized card height and connector layout for direct installation in a common backplane. Thermal energy is removed by a built-in air blower, and the power stage can supply up to 200 A of continuous output current for axes with high sustained demand.

Within the HDS platform, the module is assigned to line 04, which matches the mechanical dimensions and slot coding used by supply units from the same generation. The product is Version 2, placing it in a later revision of the platform. It is classified as an HDS Drive Controller, so it is intended to operate as the control and power section for a compatible axis module. Its placement beside companion modules helps keep control, power, and feedback connections organized inside dense cabinet layouts.
