8EI2X2MWT10.0700-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI2X2MWT10.0700-1 is a servo drive module produced by B&R Automation within the 8EI Servo Drives series. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 family and is intended to regulate torque, speed, and position for multiple servo axes in automated packaging, material-handling, and assembly cells. By combining power electronics with encoder processing, the unit delivers closed-loop control that synchronizes motion profiles across connected motors. Its multi-axis architecture allows several motors to be coordinated from one compact platform, which helps keep linked machine sections aligned during cyclic motion.

This model provides a continuous output of 2.2 Aeff, so the connected axis can draw that effective current without thermal derating during steady operation. Two supply configurations are supported: a three-phase input of 3 x 200-230 VAC for higher-power panels or a single-phase input of 1 x 110-230 VAC when only line and neutral are available. The internal power stage is factory-configured as a 3-axis module, so three independent current regulators share the same DC bus and cooling section. Functional safety is integrated through hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, which removes drive energy and verifies shaft standstill when external safety circuitry opens its channels. The built-in DC link includes an internal braking resistor that dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, eliminating the need for an external brake chopper in most applications.

Mechanical integration is simplified by wall mounting; the housing attaches directly to a control cabinet backplate and establishes its protective earth path through the metal rear panel. All I/O and power conductors terminate on a 2-row connector set, which reduces cabinet depth compared with single-row plugs. A removable front cover shields the connectors from debris while allowing access without tools. This arrangement keeps the connection area organized and helps the module fit into dense control cabinets where cable routing space is limited.
