Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HS96-01-FW is a drive-controller module produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HDS Drive Controllers series. Installed in multi-axis racks, it forms part of a motion system that supplies regulated current to servo motors used on conveyors, presses, and machining centers. By linking the power section to higher-level motion logic, the unit converts digital setpoints into accurately metered motor current so each mechanical axis can reach the commanded speed and torque under changing load conditions. This role lets the controller respond quickly to load changes during acceleration, deceleration, and steady-state operation.

This controller exchanges real-time data with the motion PLC over the fiber-optic SERCOS interface, allowing deterministic 32-bit parameter transfers and synchronized drive updates within each communication cycle. The power section is rated for a continuous output of 200 A, which is the maximum motor phase current the module can deliver without thermal derating. Cooling is provided by a built-in air blower that draws cabinet air across the heat sink to keep semiconductor temperatures within a safe operating range during sustained load. As part of the DIAX04 family, the module uses the same mechanical footprint and backplane connection style as companion axes in the same rack. This arrangement supports compact multi-axis layouts while maintaining coordinated motion control.

The drive is Version 2 and uses revised gate-drive circuitry to reduce switching losses and improve current-loop bandwidth. In the system layout, the unit is part of Line 04, so rack slotting follows the numbering assigned to that power channel. It serves as a high-power controller used with HS-series feedback cards in applications that require stable speed and torque regulation. The module is intended for coordinated industrial motion where several axes operate together under a common control platform.
