Product Description:

The 8EI2X2HWSS0.0700-1 is a servo drive module produced by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series. Within an ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive rack, it serves as the power stage and controller for a single servo motor, regulating current, velocity, and position feedback in real time. The unit is intended for automated machinery that requires compact motion control hardware, integrated safety functions, and consistent axis diagnostics. Its role in the rack is to provide closed-loop motor control without adding unnecessary panel complexity.

The module accepts a three-phase supply of 3x 200-480 VAC, allowing it to operate from common factory mains without an external transformer. Under continuous operation, it delivers 2.2 Aeff to the connected motor, indicating the continuous thermal load of the output stage and helping determine suitable upstream protection. Integrated SafeMOTION functionality works with a digital encoder to supervise speed, direction, and standstill during protective stop conditions. An internal braking resistor dissipates regenerative energy during rapid deceleration, so a separate external resistor is not required for this function. Installation uses wall mounting, which places the heat sink in the cabinet airflow path while preserving DIN rail space. A removable front cover also shields live terminals when access to the wiring area is needed.

Power and feedback lines terminate on a two-row connector set, while the single-row variant is omitted to avoid unused contacts. The device comes with a standard module option, and no plug-in module is included. It is categorized as a 1-axis module, so one servo motor is controlled by each drive section. The same product family is also available in 2-axis and 3-axis module versions, allowing different cabinet layouts to use the same platform with a higher axis count when needed.
