8EI8X8HWDS0.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI8X8HWDS0.0600-1 is a servo drive module manufactured by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series. It serves as the power and control interface between the plant controller and the motor, converting incoming three-phase AC power into precisely modulated output current. This allows industrial axes to follow speed or position commands with low tracking error during automated motion. In closed-loop applications, the module supports coordinated axis response for positioning, indexing, and speed-controlled machine functions.

This module delivers a continuous output of 8.8 Aeff, so each motor phase can receive that effective RMS current during steady operation without thermal derating. It accepts a supply of 3x 200-480 VAC, making it suitable for common low-voltage distribution systems used in automated equipment. The unit is a 2-axis module, so two independent motor windings can be driven from one housing while sharing the internal DC bus and diagnostics channel. Integrated safety follows the SafeMOTION profile when the drive is paired with a digital encoder, allowing controlled stop and safe limited speed functions. An internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, so an external resistor is not required.

The housing is prepared for wall mounting, which supports vertical installation inside the cabinet and helps maintain a clear airflow path around heat-generating components. Power and feedback conductors attach through a single-row interface, and the drive includes connector set 1. This arrangement keeps wiring on one connection plane and helps maintain an orderly cabinet layout beside neighboring modules. The unit comes without a plug-in module, so no auxiliary I/O or option board is included with the base drive. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive product series, which uses a common platform for related multi-axis installations.
