8EI8X8HWD10.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI8X8HWD10.0600-1 is a servo drive module manufactured by B & R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series. As a drive unit, it converts three-phase mains power into controlled motor current so that axes in automated machinery follow speed or torque commands precisely. The module belongs to the ACOPOS P3 platform, which is used in packaging machines, handling gantries, and other motion-centric installations that demand compact multi-axis control. It is intended for coordinated motion tasks where compact cabinet space and synchronized axis control are required.

This unit is delivered as a 2-axis module, so one housing can control two motor channels in a compact footprint. Each axis can supply a continuous current of 8.8 Aeff while accepting a mains range of 3x 200-480 VAC, allowing the drive to operate on common industrial power systems. The housing carries an IP20 rating, so it requires installation inside a protected electrical enclosure. An integrated internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, reducing the need for external braking hardware in many mid-power applications. The standard module option includes a fitted front cover and a 1-row connector set for field wiring, and no plug-in extension is supplied.

Functional safety is handled by Hardwired STO safety technology with encoder; the drive removes torque within microseconds once both hardwired channels open, and encoder feedback permits position-verified shutdown. The ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive platform uses a compact format intended for coordinated motion systems in automated equipment. The presence of Connector Set 1 (1-row) supports straightforward field wiring, while the unit uses Wall mounting for direct cabinet installation. Straight rear cable routing helps align the module with adjacent busbar sections in dense control cabinets.
