Overview
The Indramat FWA-DRIVE*-SGP-20VRS-MS firmware module is a memory-resident software/hardware component designed for Bosch Rexroth ECODRIVE and DURADRIVE series servo drive controllers. This product is firmware, which is a combination of hardware and a software program, which is loaded on the hardware drive. This part number designates a specific firmware variant — SGP (Standard General Purpose) at version 20VRS — stored on a memory module (MS) that is installed directly into the drive hardware. Used in legacy and refurbished servo systems across packaging, material handling, and machine tool applications.
Key Features
- Standard General Purpose (SGP) firmware — Supports positioning and velocity control modes with SERCOS interface compatibility
- Memory module format — Socketed directly into firmware slot; transferable between compatible drives after configuration
- Multi-interface support — Supports standard positioning and velocity control modes compliant with the SERCOS and RS-232/RS-485 interface standards used in the ECODR3 platform.
- Multilingual capability — MS designation indicates language support for international installations
- Compact, cost-effective design — Engineered for mid-range servo motion control without premium integration overhead

Typical Applications
The ECODR3 SGP firmware is used across a wide range of industrial automation applications where precise servo motion control is required, including CNC machine tools, packaging machinery, printing presses, and general factory automation equipment. Commonly used in packaging, material handling, and factory automation systems. Ideal for retrofits and spare-parts procurement where legacy ECODRIVE/DURADRIVE servo systems remain in production.
