HDS04.2-W200N-HA17-01-FW
The HDS04.2-W200N-HA17-01-FW is a modular drive control unit produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the HDS Drive Controllers series. It serves as the control stage for servo axes in multi-axis industrial machinery and links the higher-level automation system with the motor power section. By regulating current, velocity, and position loops, the unit supports precise motion control in coordinated machine applications. This rack-based format is suited to systems where several axes share a cabinet and operate from a common drive platform. It is commonly used in packaging equipment, transfer systems, and machine tools that depend on repeatable servo response under changing load conditions.
The controller accepts commands through an analog interface, enabling continuous reference signals from a PLC or motion card. With a rated output bus current of 200 A, the unit can support large power modules during sustained acceleration and other heavy-duty motion cycles. Thermal management uses a built-in air blower that moves cabinet air across the heat sink, helping maintain stable operating temperature without external ducting. The unit belongs to the DIAX04 platform, and the code 04 identifies its controller size within the product line. This arrangement is useful in installations that require high current capacity together with direct command tracking from analog control hardware.
The unit is released as Version 2. It occupies one slot in a common cooling rack and mates mechanically with compatible drive modules used in the same platform. Classified as an HDS Drive Controller, it is intended for modular servo systems that separate supply, control, and power functions into coordinated assemblies. That layout keeps cabinet organization clear and supports orderly integration with adjacent axes in multi-axis equipment. Its modular arrangement also supports dense cabinet layouts where airflow and access need to remain predictable.
