8EI8X8HWT10.0200-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI8X8HWT10.0200-1 is a three-axis servo drive module from B&R Automation in the 8EI Servo Drives series. In multi-axis machinery, it regulates torque, speed, and position for up to three synchronized motors, supporting coordinated motion in packaging, pick-and-place, and assembly equipment. By combining three controlled channels in one housing, it supports synchronized tasks such as transfer, indexing, and material handling. The module belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI product line, which is used for compact distributed drive layouts.

This unit operates from a three-phase supply of 3x 200-480 VAC, so it can connect to common industrial mains without a separate regional variant. The continuous output capability is 8.8 Aeff, which provides steady current for each controlled axis during normal operation. A hardwired STO safety circuit with encoder disconnects drive power at the hardware level, supporting machine safety functions that require verified torque removal. The module is built for wall mounting, which suits vertical cabinet layouts, and it is configured as a 3-axis module with integrated power electronics and three independent current-control loops. This arrangement lets one device handle coordinated motion while keeping wiring concentrated in a single drive location.

The standard housing uses Connector Set 1 (1-row), which provides a single-row connection point for power, feedback, and I/O wiring. A second connector set is not present, so the front layout stays straightforward, and a front cover shields the terminals after wiring is complete. The unit has no internal braking resistor, so regenerated energy must be handled by external braking hardware when the application returns power to the DC bus. That approach separates the heat-producing braking function from the drive module itself and leaves the resistor network to be matched to the braking demand of the machine.
