Product Description:

The 8EI2X2HWT10.0700-1 is a servo drive manufactured by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series in the ACOPOS P3 family. Acting as a multi-axis power stage, it converts a three-phase mains supply into precisely regulated motor currents so that synchronous servomotors can follow commanded torque, speed, or position profiles in packaging lines, pick-and-place stations, and other motion-centered machinery. Integration of the drive electronics, encoder interface, and field wiring terminals into a single enclosure allows tighter cabinet layouts, short cable runs, and a more compact arrangement of drive components inside distributed automation systems.

The drive is delivered as a 3-axis module, letting three motors share one controller housing and reducing the number of separate drive bodies needed in a machine section. Each axis can supply a continuous current of 2.2 Aeff when powered from a mains range of 3x 200-480 VAC, giving the unit compatibility with common industrial supply systems. Mechanical installation follows a wall mounting arrangement that places the heat sink against a back panel for convection airflow and straightforward panel integration. Dynamic braking energy is handled by an internal braking resistor, eliminating the need for an external dump load and helping the system absorb deceleration energy without overstressing the DC link.

Machine safety is provided by Hardwired STO safety technology, which disables the power stage through a dual-channel circuit without software intervention. For field wiring, a 2-row connector set is fitted, and the 1-row connector set is omitted to save space and avoid unused contacts in the enclosure. The hardware uses a standard module option profile, which keeps the configuration straightforward for installations that do not require added plug-in features. A protective front cover shields the high-energy terminals during operation, and no plug-in module is included in the delivery package.
