Product Description:

The XCS2-W0023ARN-02AETM5NNNN-S03RSN2NNNN5NN single-axis converter is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the XCS Single Axis ctrlX Converters series. As a Generation 2 ctrlX DRIVE unit, it regulates the torque, speed, and position of one motor within a modular automation line. The converter supplies the power electronics and safety functions required for precise motion control. It mounts inside an electrical cabinet, where it connects a servo motor to higher-level PLCs and industrial Ethernet networks. The unit converts three-phase mains power into a digitally commanded motor output that follows application requirements.

The converter accepts a supply of 3 × AC 200–500 V (+10%/-15%) and provides up to 23 A for midrange servo axes. Its IP20 protection rating requires installation inside an enclosed electrical panel that prevents contact with internal components. Communication is provided through Multi-Ethernet, allowing connection to several supported industrial networks without separate option cards. An integrated braking transistor and braking resistor dissipate regenerative energy produced when the connected motor decelerates. The supplied configuration includes a panel and ctrlX DRIVEplus control hardware but does not include a motor connector set. The converter’s maximum output frequency remains below 599 Hz, so its operation does not require export licensing based on output frequency.

At the fieldbus layer, the device operates as an EtherCAT (SoE) slave and supports SafeMotion communication over the same network connection. Thermal management uses internal air cooling, so the cabinet must provide enough airflow to remove heat exhausted by the converter. Functional safety is provided by SafeMotion M5 with SafeMotion Position, which monitors axis position and velocity during operation. The unit uses Version 03 for the XCS2 platform. Its standard software environment runs the DRIVE Runtime stack without additional technology function applications preinstalled.
