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

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-EC-NN-NN-FW module from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is a Compact Converter in the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series designed for precision motion control in industrial automation. It features a Product Type of HCS Drive Controller and supports a Mains Voltage of 3 x AC 110...230 V ±10%. Cooling is provided via an Air, internal (through integrated blower) Cooling Method, ensuring consistent thermal management in confined enclosures. The unit delivers up to a Device Peak Current of 18 A, enabling robust drive performance for a range of servo motor applications. With an IP20 IP Rating, the converter is constructed for protected indoor environments. The compact footprint adheres to the Line Series HCS01 line, facilitating straightforward panel integration.

Performance characteristics of the HCS01.1E converter emphasize flexible interfacing and modular design. The control section is configured as Control Section Design Type: BASIC and only operates when Pairing Note specifies pairing with Design ‘BASIC’ (B). It offers dual encoder ports with Interface 1 Type and Interface 2 Type supporting IndraDyn Hiperface or EnDat 2.1/2.2 protocols. Communication is handled over MultiEthernet Communication Interface, enabling deterministic network performance. A Safety Interface is not equipped on this model to maintain a streamlined architecture. The integrated blower’s performance-dependent fan control adapts cooling to load, while the Firmware Order Note specifies that firmware must be ordered separately and professionally installed. Version control is tracked by Design Version 1, ensuring traceability through production cycles.

Reliability and integration are hallmarks of this converter, which features a robust Power Supply Unit capable of both infeeding and feeding back to the DC bus. The housing, rated IP20, protects against ingress of solid objects, and the internal blower ensures consistent operation within the manufacturer’s recommended ambient range of 0–40 °C. Installation below 1000 m above mean sea level is advised to maintain optimal cooling and performance. With no additional Other Design Features, the unit retains a simplified design that facilitates maintenance and reduces potential failure points. Ideal applications include printing and packaging machines, paper processing equipment, food production lines, and robotic cells, where compact form factor and reliable performance are critical.
