Product Description:

The HDS04.2-W200N-HT85-01-FW is a drive controller produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the HDS Drive Controllers series. As a modular axis module within DIAX04 multi-axis systems, the unit manages the power stage and regulates servo motion in automated production lines. It converts setpoint data from a central PLC into precise current commands, allowing connected motors to follow synchronized positioning and speed profiles while operating from the shared system power structure. That control behavior suits packaging, transfer, and material-handling equipment where multiple axes must respond to coordinated motion commands at the same time.

Communication is handled through the SERCOS fiber-optic ring, which allows deterministic command and feedback exchange with higher-level controls during axis operation. Within the system, the controller works from the common DC link, so braking energy can circulate across the multi-axis assembly rather than being isolated to a single module. Thermal management is provided by a built-in air blower, so cabinet airflow does not have to be routed directly through the electronics bay. The unit is part of Line 04 and can deliver up to 200 A of continuous current for axes with rapid acceleration or heavy steady-state torque demand.

The controller is Version 2, and its command interface is recognized by compatible master controls used with this platform. The module occupies one card slot, which keeps the rack layout compact while still leaving space for adjacent axis and supply modules. Because the interface follows the standard layout used by matching control hardware, command exchange remains consistent across system configurations that use the same platform. The single-slot format also helps preserve cabinet space in installations that group several axes within one drive assembly.
