Description

The REXROTH 0608800048 is a compact, single-axis servo drive from Bosch Rexroth’s IndraDrive Cs series—part of the scalable IndraDrive modular servo system. Designed for space-constrained applications requiring precise motion control, it delivers high dynamic performance, integrated safety functionality, and seamless integration into EtherCAT-based automation architectures.

This drive is optimized for use with Rexroth’s MS2N/MS2K and MK series synchronous servo motors and supports advanced control modes (position, velocity, torque) with real-time communication via EtherCAT (CoE – CANopen over EtherCAT). Its compact “book-style” form factor, convection cooling, and built-in STO (Safe Torque Off) make it ideal for robotics, packaging, printing, and machine tool auxiliary axes.

Application Scenarios

At a high-speed bottling line in Central Europe, inconsistent label placement was traced to jitter in a legacy servo system during rapid start-stop cycles. Replacing the outdated drive with the REXROTH 0608800048 enabled sub-millisecond response times and smooth torque control via EtherCAT synchronization. Label accuracy improved to ±0.1 mm, reducing waste by 18% and increasing line speed by 12%. “We gained precision without adding cabinet space,” noted the OEM integrator. “The 0608800048 fit where others couldn’t—and performed better than expected.”

In another case, a collaborative robot (cobot) manufacturer selected the 0608800048 for its wrist joints due to the drive’s integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) and ultra-compact size. The drive’s compliance with IEC 61800-5-2 allowed the cobot to achieve PL d / SIL 2 certification without external safety relays—reducing cost and complexity while enhancing human-machine collaboration safety.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values

Innovation Point 1: Fanless Compact Design Without Performance Compromise

The 0608800048 uses advanced thermal management and high-efficiency power electronics to deliver 1.5 kW in a footprint just 45 mm wide—ideal for dense control panels. Eliminating fans increases reliability in dusty or sterile environments (e.g., food, pharma).

Innovation Point 2: Native EtherCAT Integration with Sub-Cycle Precision

As a full EtherCAT slave, the drive supports distributed clocks for <1 µs synchronization across multi-axis systems. This enables coordinated motion in gantries, pick-and-place robots, and printing presses without master-side interpolation delays.

Innovation Point 3: Integrated Functional Safety (STO)

The 0608800048 includes dual-channel Safe Torque Off certified to SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and PL d (ISO 13849). Safety is activated via hardwired terminals—no network dependency—ensuring immediate motor de-energization during emergencies.

Innovation Point 4: Plug-and-Play Motor Auto-Identification

When paired with Rexroth motors featuring Hiperface DSL or EnDat 2.2. the drive automatically loads motor parameters (inertia, pole pairs, feedback type), eliminating manual configuration errors and accelerating commissioning.

Application Cases and Industry Value

Packaging Industry: In vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines, the 0608800048 synchronizes film feed and cutting knives at 300+ cycles/minute with zero slippage—boosting throughput while reducing film waste.

Machine Tools: Used for tool changers and coolant pumps, its STO function allows safe maintenance access without full machine lockout, improving OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).

Electronics Assembly: In PCB handling systems, the drive’s low jitter and precise positioning ensure delicate components are placed without damage—even at high accelerations.

Installation, Maintenance, and Full-Cycle Support

Installation:

Mount vertically on DIN rail or panel with ≥20 mm clearance above/below for airflow.

Connect 3-phase 400 V AC power, motor cables (U/V/W), and feedback via shielded connectors.

Wire STO inputs (Terminals 13/14 and 15/16) to a certified safety relay or safety PLC.

Link to EtherCAT network using industrial-grade RJ45 or M12 cables.

Commissioning:

Use IndraWorks DS software to auto-detect the drive, load motor parameters, tune PID loops, and test STO functionality. Built-in oscilloscope captures torque, position, and error signals for fine-tuning.

Maintenance:

No routine maintenance required (fanless design). Monitor status via two front LEDs:

Green = Ready / Operating

Red = Fault (overvoltage, overtemp, feedback error)

Diagnostics accessible via EtherCAT or IndraWorks—including lifetime counters and thermal history.

Every REXROTH 0608800048 we supply is tested for full electrical functionality, EtherCAT communication, and STO response time.
