8EI8X8MWS10.0600-1 by B & R Automation

The 8EI8X8MWS10.0600-1 servo drive is manufactured by B&R Automation and belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series within the ACOPOS P3 platform. As a dedicated axis controller, the module interfaces with synchronous or induction motors to regulate speed, torque, and position in automated machinery. By combining power electronics, current measurement, and encoder processing in a compact housing, the unit delivers closed-loop motion control for conveyors, pick-and-place heads, and other coordinated axes. Its control section processes feedback continuously so commanded motion remains stable during acceleration, steady running, and stopping.

This model is supplied in a 1-axis module configuration, so its power stage, encoder interface, and safety functions are arranged for one motor connection. A continuous current rating of 8.8 Aeff is the maximum sinusoidal RMS output the unit can supply during normal operation. The input stage accepts 3× 200-230 VAC or 1× 110-230 VAC, which allows the drive to operate from either three-phase factory power or a single-phase source. For safety and braking, the drive uses hardwired STO safety technology with encoder and an internal braking resistor, so drive power can be shut off during an emergency stop while braking energy from deceleration is absorbed inside the module.

The housing is prepared for wall mounting, with mounting points that support direct attachment to a cabinet backplate and help preserve cooling airflow around the unit. A preassembled Connector Set 1 (1-row) is included, giving separate connection points for control, encoder, and power wiring in a compact front layout. This arrangement keeps cable routing organized and reduces the need for additional front hardware. The single-row connector format also keeps the face of the module relatively flush, which helps when drives are installed close together in a control cabinet.
