Product Description:

The 8BVI0220HCD8.000-1 is a servo drive unit from the 8BVI Servo Controllers series produced by B & R Automation. Classified as an inverter module, it converts a high-voltage supply into controlled three-phase outputs for permanent-magnet or induction servo motors. In an automation cell, the module handles motion sequencing, speed regulation, and safe torque off routines so packaging machines, pick-and-place stations, and material-handling gantries can synchronize position feedback with PLC commands under deterministic timing.

The controller is configured for 2-axis operation, meaning its internal power stages, current sensors, and position loops are duplicated to serve two separate motor channels without external expansion hardware. Each axis can draw up to 22 A of continuous phase current, so medium-frame servo motors can accelerate loads quickly before thermal limits are reached. The DC link belongs to the HV voltage class, permitting installation on high-energy bus systems that exceed the range of low-voltage modules and reduce overall current flow in the cabinet. The drive is supplied as an Inverter module, so pulse-width modulation occurs on board for compact mounting alongside associated filters and brake resistors. For safety, the drive uses STO controlled brake engagement, which applies the mechanical brake only after torque-producing power devices are deactivated.

The drive uses the C0-L0 code level, which indicates an approved combination of board and component revisions. It also supports the F0 DNA revision, allowing motion libraries to use a consistent register map across the machine network. Thermal integration is flexible because the housing accepts Cold plate or feed through mounting, so the base can be fastened to a chilled plate or arranged to transfer transistor heat outside the enclosure.
