Product Description:

The 8EI017HWS10.0S00-1 is a servo drive module manufactured by B&R Automation within the 8EI Servo Drives series. Classified under the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive platform, the device supplies regulated three-phase output to a compatible synchronous or induction motor. This output allows an automation controller to execute precise position, speed, and torque profiles for coordinated machine motion. Its compact power stage is suitable for packaging, material-handling, and assembly equipment where cabinet space and straightforward cable routing are important.

The drive accepts a mains input of 3 × 200–480 VAC and delivers up to 17 Aeff of continuous current to the connected motor. This current capacity supports medium-power axes throughout the stated supply range without requiring a separate amplifier stage. The unit is configured as a single-axis module, allowing one dedicated power stage to control each motion section. Installation uses wall mounting, which positions the heat sink vertically and supports upward airflow inside the electrical cabinet. Functional safety is provided by hardwired STO safety technology with encoder support. When the external safety circuit activates the safe torque off function, the drive disables torque-producing power while retaining encoder feedback for position monitoring and restart diagnostics.

This catalog number uses the standard build and does not include module-specific additions. The drive is supplied with no plug-in module, leaving its available option slots unoccupied at delivery. Compatible communication or I/O cards can be installed later when an application requires functions beyond the base configuration. Until an option card is added, the drive operates with the interfaces and capabilities included in the standard ACOPOS P3 arrangement. The dedicated axis architecture also keeps power delivery separate from neighboring motion sections, which can simplify fault isolation and cable organization in multi-axis cabinets.
