8EI4X5MWT10.0500-1 by B & R Automation

B&R Automation's 8EI4X5MWT10.0500-1 belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series within the broader ACOPOS P3 line. The unit is a multi-axis servo drive intended to regulate torque, speed, and position of synchronous or induction motors in industrial automation cells. By integrating power electronics and motion control functions into a compact enclosure, it reduces panel space while providing coordinated axis control for packaging machines, material-handling portals, and assembly systems that need high-precision profile execution. This arrangement lets a single housing manage multiple motor channels from one control stage, which helps keep synchronized machine sections operating consistently.

The module delivered under this order code is a 3-axis module that can supply each axis with up to 4.5 Aeff of continuous phase current. Power is accepted from either a three-phase supply at 3× 200-230 VAC or a single-phase line at 110-230 VAC, letting the drive fit different local mains arrangements without external transformers. An internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration so an external brake resistor is not required for most duty cycles. Command and feedback wiring is handled through a 2-row connector set, giving separate rows for logic and power signals to simplify cabling and reduce interference between control wiring and power conductors.

Functional safety is addressed by integrated hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, allowing direct connection to emergency-stop circuits without additional relays. Mechanical integration is simplified through wall mounting, which keeps heat-generating components vertically oriented for convection airflow. This mounting style also supports organized placement in compact cabinets where several motion modules are installed close together. The drive is shipped with no plug-in module, so parameter settings are handled through the system controller rather than an add-on card.
