8EI8X8HWD10.L600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI8X8HWD10.L600-1 is produced by B&R Automation as part of the 8EI Servo Drives series. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive family. This module supplies power and control to multiple motor axes within an industrial automation cell. It links directly to machine controllers to execute coordinated motion profiles for packaging, material handling, and assembly equipment. In multi-axis systems, it acts as the power and control section for connected axes and supports synchronized machine movement during continuous operation.

Electrically, the unit accepts a line supply of 3x 200-480 VAC and delivers a continuous output of 8.8 Aeff, providing current for synchronous or induction motors. A built-in internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during deceleration, so an external dump assembly is not required. I/O and power connections are routed through a single-row connector set, and the mechanical interface uses wall mounting for cabinet installation. This version is a 2-axis module, and the housing includes a front cover. Its mounting style supports direct placement in a control cabinet while keeping cable access organized at the connection side.

Feedback is handled through an incremental encoder with three interfaces plug-in board, which supports encoder connection for the controlled axes. Functional safety is provided by a hardwired STO safety technology with encoder circuit that removes motor torque without relying on software commands. The unit is supplied with the standard module option, and the arrangement keeps feedback, safety, and power functions in one drive platform. This layout supports compact multi-axis installations where motion control hardware must remain closely integrated inside the cabinet. Because the torque shutdown path is hardwired, the safety function remains independent of software during stop events.
