Bosch Rexroth Indramat servo drives – including the DKC drive controllers, HCS IndraDrive Controllers, and the DDS Drive Controllers – are the backbone of many industrial motion control systems. When these drives encounter errors, they display coded fault messages that can halt operations until they are resolved. Quickly identifying error codes and addressing their causes is crucial to minimizing downtime. In this guide, we outline common fault codes for Indramat DKC EcoDrive, IndraDrive HCS, and Indramat DDS drives, along with their meanings and solutions. Throughout, discover why Indramat-USA.com is the premier destination for repair, replacement, and refurbishment of these servo drives, helping you get back up and running fast.
DKC Servo Drives (EcoDrive Series) – Common Error Codes
Indramat DKC servo drives (part of the EcoDrive series) were widely used in industrial machines and are now considered legacy products after Indramat’s 2001 discontinuation. These drives use a four-character alphanumeric code on the front H1 display to indicate status or faults. Typically, “F” codes denote fault conditions that stop the drive, while “E” codes are warnings that flag issues without immediately halting operation. If your DKC drive shows an error code, it signals a specific problem that needs attention. Below are some common DKC fault codes and what they mean:
| DKC Error Code | Meaning |
| F218 | Heatsink overtemperature – drive shuts down due to internal overheating. |
| F226 | Undervoltage detected in the power section (DC bus low voltage). |
| F248 | Backup battery voltage is too low (battery needs replacement). |
| E253 | Target position is outside the allowable travel range (position out of range). |
| E831 | Position limit reached during jog operation (jog motion limit exceeded). |
When a DKC drive flashes one of these codes, it provides a starting point for troubleshooting – from cooling down an overheated drive to checking power supply stability or resetting travel limits. Indramat-USA.com specializes in Indramat DKC drive repair and replacement. If your DKC drive is faulting with any of these errors, contact Indramat-USA.com by calling 919-443-0207 or by sending an email to [email protected] for expert diagnosis and repair to keep your production line on track.
The Bosch Rexroth Indramat DKC01.3-100-7-FW is a high-performance DKC Drive Controller designed for demanding industrial environments, featuring a Rated Current of and a -bus for efficient motor control. It is compatible with three-phase supplies of and operates reliably within a Input Frequency Range. With a dedicated Control Voltage and an IP20 Protection Category, the unit integrates easily and safely into complex control architectures while conserving cabinet space through its compact, vertical-mount design. The controller's architecture supports option cards like RS232/485 for enhanced extensibility, offering OEMs and system integrators a highly flexible and reliable solution for universal drive automation.
HCS IndraDrive Servo Drives – Common Error Codes
Modern IndraDrive systems by Bosch Rexroth use the HCS series drive controllers (IndraDrive C line) to power and control servo motors. These HCS drives display fault codes in an alphanumeric format on their front panel – similar to DKC codes with a leading letter (“F” for faults, “E” for warnings) followed by numbers. IndraDrive fault codes are organized by severity: for example, F2xxx codes are minor recoverable errors, while higher ranges like F4xxx, F8xxx, or F9xxx indicate more severe faults. Understanding these codes is key to pinpointing issues such as thermal overloads, supply problems, or communication errors.
Here are several common HCS IndraDrive fault codes and what they indicate:
| HCS Fault Code | Meaning |
| F218 | Drive overtemperature – the drive’s internal temperature is too high (often due to cooling fan failure or cabinet overheating). |
| F219 | Motor overtemperature – the servo motor attached is running too hot (check motor cooling or load). |
| F226 | Undervoltage on DC bus – input power dip or internal power supply issue causing low DC link voltage. |
| F229 | Encoder feedback quadrant error – inconsistent signals from the position encoder (could be noise or miswired encoder cable). |
| F860 | Overcurrent fault – likely a short circuit in the motor phases or a shorted output transistor in the drive. |
| F861 | Ground fault (earth short) – a short to ground exists in the motor or cabling. |
| F220 | Bleeder (braking resistor) overtemperature – the regen resistor is overheating, possibly undersized or overworked. |
| C204 | Motor type mismatch – the drive is configured for a different motor type than the one connected (parameter mismatch). |
| C201 / C202 | Invalid parameter data – one or more configuration parameters are out of range or corrupted. |
| F4001 / F4002 | SERCOS communication loss – the drive lost communication (missing telegrams) on the fiber-optic SERCOS network. |
The Bosch Rexroth Indramat HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-NN-NN-NN-FW drive controller is a compact, standardized component designed for demanding industrial automation in applications like packaging and material handling. This model features a basic control section, an maximum current rating, a output, and requires a three-phase input. While its IP20 rating only provides basic protection, it is designed for installation within a protective control cabinet and is cooled via an integrated fan. The drive controller is equipped with modern interfaces like IndraDyn/Hiperface and a MultiEthernet module for flexible communication and system integration.
DDS Legacy Drives – Common Error Codes
The Indramat DDS series are older digital servo drives (part of the DIAX drive family) which display simpler two-digit fault codes on their front H1 status indicator. Unlike the four-character codes of newer drives, a DDS error appears as a two-digit number (the drive toggles the display to show two characters at a time if needed). Many error codes are essentially the same between DDS and DKC/EcoDrive systems, just shown in a shorter form. For example, a motor overtemperature shutdown that a DKC drive would show as “F219” appears as “19” on a DDS drive’s display. Knowing the meaning of these numeric codes is essential for diagnosing issues on legacy machinery.
Below are common Indramat DDS fault codes and their meanings:
| DDS Error Code | Meaning |
| 28 | Excessive deviation – the actual motor position/velocity deviated too much from the command (following error too large). |
| 43 | Invalid feedback data – the servo feedback (encoder) signals are not valid or out of expected range. |
| 44 | Travel limit switch triggered – the axis hit a limit switch or exceeded the allowed travel range. |
| 45 | External encoder quadrant error – a secondary encoder or external feedback device has a quadrature signal fault. |
| 51 | Motor overtemperature warning – the motor’s temperature is above threshold (likely will trip a shutdown if not cooled). |
| 60 | DC bus bridge fuse blown – the drive’s internal power fuse (bridge fuse) has tripped due to an overload. |
| 61 | Short-to-ground / Overcurrent – a major current fault, often indicating a short in the motor or cables (drive shuts down for safety). |
| 74 | Invalid pattern data transmission time – a sync or communication timing issue occurred (data transmission error). |
