HDS04.2-W200N-HS
The HDS04.2-W200N-HS is a modular axis controller built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied in the HDS Drive Controllers series. Intended for multi-axis machining centers, packaging lines, and automated assembly stations, the unit processes digital motion commands, supervises servo feedback, and distributes drive power through a common DC link. By coordinating acceleration, velocity, and position loops, it helps machine builders achieve precise, synchronized motion without relying on individual stand-alone amplifiers. This layout is suited to systems in which several servo axes must operate through one shared drive structure rather than through separate power stages.
Continuous current capacity of 200 A equips the controller for high-inertia axes that draw substantial peak currents during rapid indexing. Command traffic moves over a fiber-optic ring, enabling deterministic data exchange and electrical isolation between drives. As part of the DIAX04 controller family, the module mounts to a shared backplane where bus bars distribute DC power and status data are collected for diagnostics. Heat is removed by a built-in air blower, so cabinet air is forced across the heat sink without external ducting. The product is part of Line 04, which identifies its mechanical footprint and connector style when multiple axes are installed side by side.
This module is an HDS Drive Controller and is released in Version 2. The command communication interface is SERCOS, linking the axis to higher-level motion controllers through optical cabling. That arrangement supports synchronized updates between the controller and the motion system during coordinated axis movement. The shared rack connection helps keep cycle jitter low when coordinating multi-axis profiles, and the common DC link allows power to be distributed across neighboring axes in the same drive system.
