HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-ET-NN-NN-FW

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-A-CC-EC-ET-NN-NN-FW compact converter is a core element of the HCS IndraDrive Controllers lineup, designed to deliver efficient single-axis and multi-axis drive control in industrial automation systems. Manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat, the HCS Compact Converter Series integrates seamlessly with the IndraDrive C drive system and supports the MSM, MSK, and MCL motor families. With a compact construction and vertical-only mounting requirement, the converter features an integrated control panel and programming module functionality for simplified commissioning and diagnostics. The unit operates on a broad input voltage range and achieves high dynamic performance through its advanced control architecture and internal air cooling system. Reliability is further enhanced by robust design practices and compliance with IEC 61800-3 Category C3 component guidelines.

Detailed technical specifications define the HCS01.1E controller’s capabilities and installation requirements. The converter employs an Air, internal (through integrated blower) cooling method and meets an IP20 protection rating for indoor cabinet environments. It accepts a mains voltage of 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10% input and delivers a device peak current of 18 A for demanding acceleration profiles. The control section is specified as ADVANCED design, pairing with Control Section Design 'ADVANCED' (A), and the device is identified as Line Series HCS01 with Design Version 1. Interface options include Encoder IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat 2.1/2.2 on Interface 1 and MultiEthernet on Interface 2. Safety functionality is omitted with a Not equipped safety interface, and the converter is rated Overvoltage Category III. It supports third-party motor compatibility and requires a compatible firmware version, which must be ordered separately as per the Firmware Order Note.

Operational features emphasize performance, resilience, and maintainability in automation systems. The unit’s internal blower ensures consistent thermal management and mandates a cooling time of 15 Minutes after shutdown before maintenance. It can be installed at altitudes up to 4000 m Above Sea Level and withstands ambient electrical stress due to its Overvoltage Category III rating. The converter integrates a power supply unit capable of both infeeding and feeded operation, ensuring stable DC bus supply for connected motors. Certified under CSA Certified and UL Listed standards, this controller meets North American regulatory requirements and must be installed inside a control cabinet with Category C3 components in accordance with IEC 61800-3.

System integration is streamlined via support for multiple feedback encoders and high-speed MultiEthernet connectivity, enabling coordinated motion control in complex machinery. The converter’s compatibility with Rexroth Indramat MSM, MSK, and MCL motor series allows for scalable multi-axis solutions in packaging, material handling, and machine tool applications. Installation guidelines require vertical orientation within an IP20-rated enclosure, with electrical parts exceeding 50 V isolated to ensure operator safety. The advanced control algorithms and expandable interface options make the HCS01.1E-W0018 series ideal for precision automation tasks across diverse industries, including automotive assembly, robotics, and semiconductor manufacturing.
