Description

The REXROTH HNC100 SYHNC100-BLA-23W-08-C-0-E23-A014 is a digital axis controller specifically designed for high-precision closed-loop control of hydraulic and electric drives in industrial automation. It is commonly employed in applications such as machine tools, presses, plastics processing machines, transfer lines, and rail-bound vehicles, where precise position, velocity, and force control are critical. This controller meets the rigorous demands of harsh industrial environments, offering immunity to electrical interference, mechanical vibration resistance, and climate robustness. The versatility of the HNC100 allows it to manage complex motion profiles and synchronized multi-axis movements, making it valuable in control systems requiring tight integration of motion sequences and real-time process adaptation.

The REXROTH HNC100 SYHNC100-BLA-23W-08-C-0-E23-A014 serves as a programmable NC (Numerical Control) digital axis controller. It controls a single or dual hydraulic or electric axis by executing user-defined programs using NC language that includes subprograms, conditional jumps, and various motion commands. The device features a 16/32-bit processor with 1 MB Flash EPROM, 8 KB EEPROM, and 256 KB RAM memory, supporting robust user programming and data storage. It interfaces with several sensors and actuators via digital and analog inputs and outputs, providing fine control over the positioning and force applied by axis drives. Integration with fieldbus systems like Profibus DP, CANopen, and INTERBUS-S enhances communication within automated plants. The controller’s compact, rugged casing suits panel mounting in industrial cabinets, providing straightforward hardware installation.

Technically, the HNC100 SYHNC100-BLA-23W-08-C-0-E23-A014 features flexible input/output options, offering 8, 16, or 24 digital inputs and outputs capable of handling up to 50 mA per channel. It includes four differential analog voltage and current inputs for precise measurement and control signals, supporting ranges of ±10 V and 4-20 mA. Its dual support for incremental and SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) transducers ensures accurate position feedback essential for closed-loop control. The operating voltage ranges between 18 and 36 V DC, with a nominal power consumption around 8 W, excluding external sensors. Its programming environment supports complex control logic, including sequence programming, curve definitions, and synchronized two-axis control. The controller’s design ensures stable operation in heavy-duty industrial conditions, preventing interference and maintaining high availability. These features make it exceptionally suitable for demanding motion control tasks requiring reliability and functional safety.
