8EI2X2HWS10.A600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI2X2HWS10.A600-1 belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series from B&R Automation and is part of the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive family. It is supplied as a compact servo amplifier that converts three-phase mains power into controlled current for synchronous motors. The unit also relays encoder data back to the machine controller so velocity and position loops can be closed in industrial automation cells. Because the current is regulated by the amplifier, the attached motor can respond accurately to changing load commands during indexing, conveying, and synchronized machine motion.

This model operates from a three-phase supply of 3x 200-480 VAC, allowing it to share switchgear with standard factory power networks. The drive delivers a continuous output of 2.2 Aeff, which suits low-to-mid power axes and steady servo operation. Motion can be halted safely through integrated hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, and this function disables torque without relying on software commands. Dynamic deceleration energy is dissipated by an internal braking resistor, which removes the need for an external dump module in many applications. Although it is supplied as a single-motor controller, the hardware also supports 2-axis module capability for installations that use a multi-axis layout.

The housing is the standard 1-axis module version and is prepared for wall mounting so airflow paths remain open inside the enclosure. Feedback wiring connects through the dedicated resolver 1x interface, and a sealed front cover protects the connection area. Connector Set 1 uses a single-row plug for power, while the two-row variant is omitted to reduce depth at the front of the unit. This layout keeps cable access clear at the control edge of the card and helps preserve a compact installation footprint.
