Product Description:

The 8EI4X5HWSS0.0700-1 is a servo drive module manufactured by B&R Automation and assigned to the 8EI Servo Drives series. It serves as the power and control interface between an ACOPOS P3 inverter stage and a synchronous servo motor. By regulating current and monitoring motion, the unit allows actuators to follow precise speed or position commands in automated machinery. This arrangement supports accurate axis control while keeping the drive electronics and motor feedback processing in one compact module.

Electrically, the drive accepts a three-phase input of 3x 200-480 VAC and can supply up to 4.5 Aeff of continuous motor current. It is delivered as a 1-axis module for single-motor control. Cabinet installation uses wall mounting rails, allowing the heat sink to vent vertically inside a standard control enclosure. An integrated internal braking resistor absorbs regenerative energy during deceleration, which can eliminate the need for an external resistor on small-inertia loads. Connector Set 1 is not included, so power, encoder, and I/O leads terminate on the two-row front connector. The module is also supplied without a plug-in expansion board, leaving the internal slot open for an optional fieldbus card.

Functional safety is provided by SafeMOTION, which uses a digital encoder channel for hardwired speed and position monitoring. The fitted Connector Set 2 (2-row) provides the front-side connection arrangement used by the module. A sealed Front Cover protects live terminals after wiring is completed and keeps the connection area enclosed during operation. The drive uses the standard option code and does not include custom features, which keeps the configuration straightforward. This layout supports clear separation of power, encoder, and control wiring at the front of the unit.
