8EI1X6MWS10.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI1X6MWS10.0600-1 is a servo drive module produced by B&R Automation and belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series within the ACOPOS P3 servo drive family. As a compact drive, it interfaces with a single motor axis and delivers regulated power, feedback processing, and safety supervision for coordinated motion in industrial automation cells such as pick-and-place gantries or packaging machinery. Its role is to simplify cabinet wiring while maintaining precise speed and position control over the connected actuator. This type is intended for coordinated motion tasks where a compact single-axis drive must provide stable response in a limited cabinet footprint.

Designed as a 1-axis module, the drive supports one motor axis in this configuration. It draws input from 3× 200-230 VAC / 1× 110-230 VAC mains and sustains a continuous output of 1.6 A eff, enabling low-power servo motors to be driven without derating. That output level suits smaller servo axes used in feeders, indexing units, and other light-duty motion applications. Mechanical installation uses wall mounting, so heat is dissipated directly to the cabinet backplate and airflow requirements stay modest. An integrated internal braking resistor absorbs regenerated energy during deceleration, removing the need for an external brake chopper in most light-duty applications. Functional safety is provided by hardwired STO safety, which removes torque when deactivated and cross-checks encoder signals to verify speed during shutdown.

A protective front cover shields the power terminals and keeps the standard module layout enclosed. For wiring, the unit is supplied with connector set 1, a single-row terminal block suited to typical motor and feedback leads. The drive includes no connector set 2, since multi-row connections are unnecessary at this current level. It is also delivered with no plug-in module, and the plug-in slot remains vacant. This arrangement keeps the hardware straightforward for applications that do not require added interface or expansion hardware.
