HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-A-CC-EC-ET-NN-NN-FW

This HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-A-CC-EC-ET-NN-NN-FW converter designed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat forms an integral component of the HCS IndraDrive Controllers portfolio. Engineered for high-performance motion control, this compact converter supports a wide Mains Voltage range of 3 x AC 110...230 V ±10% and delivers a Device Peak Current of 18 A for demanding start-stop sequences. Its Cooling Method utilizes Air, internal (through integrated blower) to maintain optimal thermal conditions in confined installations. The converter’s compact footprint and robust construction are protected to IP20 standards, ensuring reliability in industrial settings. This unit is part of the proven Line Series HCS01, built to integrate seamlessly with IndraDrive drive controllers.

With its advanced communication architecture, this model features a Communication Interface of SERCOS III master (cross communication) for real-time data exchange and deterministic control. Dual connectivity is provided via Interface 1 Type supporting Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 and Interface 2 Type enabling MultiEthernet networks, facilitating high-speed synchronization across distributed systems. The converter is Paired with Control Section Design 'ADVANCED' and classified under Control Section Design Type ADVANCED to unlock sophisticated motion algorithms. Although the Safety Interface is Not equipped, the unit supports fail-safe integration through external safety controllers. Firmware management is streamlined, though the Firmware Order Note specifies that Firmware must be ordered as separate sub position to ensure version alignment with host controllers.

Operational reliability is bolstered by a Power Supply Unit configured for both Infeeding/Feeded architectures, enabling redundancy in critical processes. Rated as Design Version 1, this converter incorporates no additional Other Design Features, reducing complexity and potential points of failure. The internal blower responds dynamically to load variations, maintaining performance without manual intervention. Maintenance is simplified by standardized connectors and clear diagnostics, minimizing downtime during commissioning and servicing. Its ability to handle peak currents up to 18 A makes it ideal for high torque acceleration and precision positioning tasks.

Integration into existing automation infrastructures is straightforward, with native support for Bosch Rexroth IndraDrive controllers and seamless parameter transfer. The converter’s compact form factor and standardized mounting provisions facilitate retrofitting in machine tools, packaging lines, robotic cells, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Engineers can leverage its advanced SERCOS III network to orchestrate multi-axis systems with sub-millisecond synchronization, while the internal air-cooling design adapts to enclosures with limited ventilation. Overall, the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-A-CC-EC-ET-NN-NN-FW converter provides a high-density, precision control solution for modern industrial automation applications.
