Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HT01-01-FW drive controller is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. Designed for industrial automation cabinets, the unit acts as the power stage that regulates torque and velocity on connected servo axes while supporting accurate motion in packaging, material handling, machine tool, and transfer system applications. It interfaces with a master control through a fiber-optic ring, executes closed-loop profiles, and supplies the high current needed for fast acceleration, quick speed changes, and stable axis response where repeatable positioning is important.

At the communication layer, the controller relies on SERCOS, so parameter telegrams and real-time setpoints travel over a deterministic optical link that minimizes electrical noise and supports synchronized command exchange between the control and drive. Power delivery capability is set by its 200 A rated continuous output, allowing the DIAX04 multi-axis rack to drive large torque servomotors without external boosters. Thermal limits are handled by a built-in air blower that draws cabinet air through the heat sink and discharges it upward, eliminating the need for additional ducting. As part of the DIAX04 controller family, it uses the same bus rails and feedback connectors found across matching axes. The unit is Version 2.

Within the HDS Drive Controllers series, this module carries the mechanical designation Line 04, which gives it the dimensions required for standard rack installation. The slot width and mounting hole pattern fit standard racks, allowing the controller to sit correctly in multi-axis cabinet assemblies without special brackets or spacing changes. The layout accommodates heat generated by the power section, so the controller can remain at full load without external cooling add-ons, and this helps preserve airflow around neighboring modules during continuous operation in tightly packed cabinets.
