Product Description:

The 8EI2X2HWT10.0100-1 servo drive module is built by B&R Automation and belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series. In a motion control system, it conditions incoming three-phase power and feeds precisely regulated current to connected servomotors, coordinating position and speed loops for production equipment such as pick-and-place heads or conveyor axes. Through its integration with the ACOPOS P3 platform, the unit helps machine builders achieve compact cabinet layouts while maintaining deterministic axis synchronization across multiple channels. Its multi-axis format also suits automation cells where several servo channels must share common cabinet space.

Electrical compatibility spans 3x 200–480 VAC, so the same hardware can be wired to standard factory mains worldwide. The module sustains 2.2 Aeff of continuous phase current, which sets the thermal limit for long-term operation. To satisfy risk assessments, it incorporates hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, which disconnects drive output in less than a millisecond while still monitoring position feedback. Mechanically, the device ships as a 3-axis module, allowing three motors to be energized from one frame, and installation is straightforward because of its wall mounting arrangement. The lack of a plug-in option card and the omitted front cover keep the enclosure shallow for dense multi-drive cabinets.

The family is offered in single-, dual-, and three-axis versions, so the connection layout stays familiar across related units. Signal and power connections are grouped in a 2-row connector set that carries power, feedback, and control signals. Regenerative energy must be handled externally because there is no internal braking resistor. The unit uses a standard module option and is part of the ACOPOS P3 series. The missing one-row connector leaves more clearance for harness routing on crowded backplanes.
