8EI2X2HWD10.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI2X2HWD10.0600-1 is a servo drive module produced by B&R Automation within the 8EI Servo Drives series. Classified in the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive product line, the unit converts incoming three-phase mains energy into precisely regulated output currents for synchronous or induction motors. It forms the power interface between a machine controller and the mechanical axis, enabling deterministic speed, torque, and position loops in packaging, material-handling, and automated assembly equipment.

This module is factory configured as a 2-axis module, placing two independent inverter stages on one frame to reduce cabinet space. It accepts a supply of 3x 200-480 VAC and can deliver a continuous phase current of 2.2 Aeff to each axis. Transient regeneration is absorbed by the integrated internal braking resistor, eliminating the need for an external resistor in low- to medium-inertia applications. For mechanical integration, the housing supports wall mounting, and cooling air is drawn across the heat sink from the cabinet aisle. The wiring side is prepared for a single-row connector set, and the unit remains in a standard factory configuration without customized options or plug-in expansion modules.

Functional safety is provided by hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, which blocks the power devices through a direct hardware channel that is compatible with emergency stop circuits. Fast installation is aided by the supplied Connector Set 1 (1-row), and the second two-row connector set is omitted to simplify cable routing. A protective front cover snaps over the terminals after installation to guard live parts and improve touch protection. This layout keeps the power and connection areas organized while preserving access to the standard terminal arrangement used on the module.
