Product Description:
The 8AC130.60-6 is manufactured by B&R Automation and belongs to the 8AC Powerlink Modules series. It is an ACOPOS plug-in module that attaches to a drive carrier and routes real-time Powerlink data, encoder signals, and discrete control lines between the motion controller and the machine. Within an automation cell, the unit simplifies wiring and concentrates feedback processing so that the drive can react to axis position, homing markers, and machine events without external interface boards.
The module records position with a 16-bit counter and applies 4x evaluation, so each quadrature edge is decoded for fine resolution. Up to 8 digital inputs and 10 digital outputs are available, and the channels are arranged in configurable pairs to match different sensor and actuator groupings. Encoder signals are accepted at frequencies as high as 62.5 kHz, allowing stable tracking of fast rotary or linear feedback devices. Physical connection is made through a 12-pin multipoint connector that carries logic lines and the control supply. Output stages are split into three current groups: 100 mA for lines 1 through 4, 400 mA for lines 5 through 8, and 2 A for lines 9 and 10, so loads with different current demands can share the same module without additional relays.
An independent event counter operates up to 100 kHz, giving the controller a separate channel for high-speed edge timing outside the quadrature path. The electronics tolerate input voltage up to 30 VDC and remain functional down to 18 V, while regulated operation is centered at 24 VDC. Total power consumption is only 0.8 W, which keeps the thermal load on the drive stack low and supports dense cabinet layouts. This separation of counting, feedback, and switching functions helps the module handle fast machine signals without adding external interface boards.
