Product Description
The Bosch HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-EP-L3-NN-FW is a servo controller. It belongs to the IndraDrive product line. The controller supports three-phase AC input. It requires operating voltages between 110 and 230 Volts AC. Peak current rating of the unit is 18 Amps, which is only available when the controller is used under specified ambient conditions. As per the product manual, the working temperature range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and the acceptable site elevation is 0 to 1000 meters above mean sea level. The modular controller design allows matching to various applications. The controller has an integrated SERCOS/EtherCat interface. SERCOS (Serial Real-time Communication System) is a communication standard that is used for the high-speed transmission of real-time control data and supervisory data between devices in automation systems, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), drives, and other devices.
SERCOS is a high-speed, deterministic, and robust communication system that allows for the fast exchange of data between devices, which is essential in real-time control applications. It is based on a master-slave architecture, in which a central control device (the master) communicates with a number of peripheral devices (the slaves). The master sends commands and requests data from the slaves, and the slaves respond with the requested data. The communication between the master and the slaves is carried out over a serial link, which can be a copper or fiber optic cable. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-EP-L3-NN-FW controller also features an integrated multi-encoder interface. Optional features available on the controller include an engineering port and a safety module with safe torque off support. The controller enclosure belongs to IP20. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-E-S3-EC-EP-L3-NN-FW controller is compatible with a standard control panel. Firmware for the unit is available as a separate item.
