8EI4X5HWS10.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI4X5HWS10.0600-1 is a servo drive module produced by B&R Automation within the 8EI Servo Drives series. Designed for closed-loop motion control, the unit serves as the power and regulation interface between an AC motor and higher-level machine control, delivering precise speed and torque commands in multi-axis production cells. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive family and is intended for automated equipment that requires accurate axis response under changing loads. Because the drive closes the control loop at the axis level, it helps the machine maintain repeatable motion during acceleration, speed holding, and stopping.

This module accepts a supply of 3x 200-480 VAC, allowing operation on common industrial mains. That voltage range gives the same module flexibility across different regional power systems and mixed-machine platforms. It can deliver a continuous current of 4.5 Aeff, which is the sustained output available to the motor windings during steady-state operation. An integrated internal braking resistor dissipates regenerative energy produced during rapid deceleration, reducing the need for external braking hardware in many installations. Installation uses wall mounting, so the heat sink can be positioned vertically to support natural convection inside the cabinet.

To meet machine safety requirements, the drive includes hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, which removes torque through a dedicated safety function while preserving the feedback arrangement used by the axis. Power and feedback lines terminate on Connector Set 1 (1-row), which keeps the interface compact and straightforward for cabinet wiring. The one-row connector arrangement also helps conserve panel space where several servo axes must be installed in a narrow cabinet section. The unit is supplied with no plug-in module included, and it is delivered in the standard option configuration rather than a customized build. This layout keeps the hardware focused on core motion tasks that are set up through the drive parameters and the connected control system.
