Product Description:

The 8EI1X6HWS10.0200-1 is a single-axis AC servo drive produced by B&R Automation and positioned within the 8EI Servo Drives series. It conditions three-phase power, modulates current, and exchanges encoder feedback to run synchronous or induction motors used for positioning, feeding, and tension-control duties in automated machinery. Delivered as a 1-axis module, it is intended for applications where one motor channel is controlled by one compact drive section. Its control electronics coordinate motor response during acceleration, deceleration, and steady-speed operation, making it suitable for machines that require repeatable axis behavior.

The drive operates from a three-phase input of 3x 200–480 VAC, allowing direct connection to common plant power systems. Under continuous load, the output phase current is limited to 1.6 Aeff, which sets the continuous current capability of the power stage. A built-in safety layer is provided by hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, so the power stage can be shut down while encoder feedback remains available. That arrangement helps remove torque while still preserving feedback information needed by the control system after shutdown. The unit has no internal braking resistor, so braking energy must be handled elsewhere in the cabinet.

Mechanical integration is prepared for wall mounting, which supports straightforward installation on a machine panel or cabinet backplate. Wiring is simplified by the inclusion of a 1-row connector set, and the housing is supplied with a front cover that guards live terminals during operation. The protected terminal area helps reduce accidental contact with energized connections when the unit is installed in serviceable equipment. The drive is part of the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive platform, and its compact layout suits single-axis assemblies where a narrow mounting footprint is preferred. The fixed connector arrangement also keeps the wiring path direct and the installed layout orderly.
