Product Description
The Bosch HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW is a digital controller with a basic control section. It has a modular design that operators can match to application requirements. The controller has several integrated features. In addition, a few optional hardware modules also installed on the controller. Integrated features on the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW include Multi-Ethernet communication and a multi-encoder interface. Optional modules on the controller support encoder emulation and safe motion. Multi-Ethernet allows establishment of multiple links over the same physical interface. The multi-encoder interface allows controller use with a wide range for motor encoders. Encoder emulation allows operators to test different functions without requiring actual encoders. Safe motion is a safety feature for Bosch controllers. Bosch also offers other safety option that operators can specify at the time of ordering. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW has an IP20 rated housing.
This type of housing provides protection against solids with 12 millimeter dimensions. The housing does not provide protection against liquid or moisture ingress. For this reason the controller is suited to indoor deployments. Applications requiring outdoor deployments mandate use of a suitable cabinet for controller mounting. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW delivers peak 18 Amps output. Its input voltage rating is 200 to 500 Volts AC. A standard control panel comes with the controller and must be connected to the controller prior to power on. The controller features a digital display and a keypad. Operators can use the control panel to monitor the controller and issue a limited set of commands. The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EM-S4-NN-FW controller cools via natural convection. It requires 0 to 40 degrees Celsius ambient temperature for optimal operation. Only trained personnel should handle, install and monitor the controller and associate equipment.
