Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS73-01-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the HDS Drive Controllers series. Serving as a motion axis module in the DIAX modular drive system, it coordinates servo motor power and feedback to execute precise position and velocity commands in automated machinery. The unit is intended for multi-axis equipment where fast current regulation and stable feedback processing are required on each controlled axis. In automated lines, it can be used on positioning, handling, and transfer axes that must respond cleanly to changing load conditions.

This unit communicates with the motion coordinator through the SERCOS fiber-optic interface, allowing deterministic command and feedback cycles between the controller and the drive system. Cyclic communication supports synchronized response across linked motion axes during coordinated machine motion. A continuous output capability of 200 A supports high-torque motors without derating during sustained operation. Thermal management is handled by a built-in air blower, which channels cabinet air across the heat sinks so the module can be mounted in densely packed racks. The controller belongs to the DIAX04 family, and the cooling path remains inside the housing so no external ducting is required. The product is Version 2.

This model is assigned to Line 04, and its mechanical dimensions and connector layout align with other modules in the same line. The unit is an HDS Drive Controller that can be installed alongside compatible power supplies in shared drive racks without auxiliary interface boards. It operates on a shared DC bus with companion modules, allowing multiple axes to draw power from the same drive system. Shared rack installation also keeps interconnection distances short between the controller, the supply section, and neighboring axis modules. This layout suits cabinets that combine several servo axes in one enclosure.
