Product Description:

B&R Automation's 8EI022HWD10.0100 belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series and functions as a power stage for coordinated motor control on production equipment. Supplied as part of the ACOPOS P3 architecture, it combines drive electronics and safety monitoring so that machine control can manage speed, torque, and position without separate safety relays. In an automation cell, the unit energizes two motor windings, processes encoder feedback, and exchanges status data with the controller over deterministic fieldbus links. This arrangement keeps motion control, feedback handling, and safety-related functions in one device for compact cabinet installation.

The drive accepts a three-phase input of 3x 200-480 VAC and can deliver a continuous phase current of 22 Aeff to each output channel. Because it is a 2-axis module, one housing controls two servo motors and helps reduce cabinet space compared with separate single-axis devices. That channel layout is suited to paired machine axes that share one supply section but still require independent motor outputs. Functional safety is implemented by a hardwired STO circuit that works with the encoder to remove torque during a fault. Mechanical integration uses wall mounting, which allows vertical placement with enforced convection paths through the housing.

Within the ACOPOS P3 8EI product family, the unit is supplied with a 2-row connector set that carries power, signal, and encoder lines in one keyed interface. The keyed arrangement keeps the connection area organized and supports consistent cable routing inside the cabinet. The unit includes no plug-in module, so expansion cards are not part of the base hardware. It is supplied in the standard version without a customized front cover or an internal braking resistor. Configuration therefore relies on the installed control settings, and the drive hardware remains focused on its built-in motion and safety functions.
