Product Description:

The 8EI4X5HWTS0.0600-1 is a three-axis servo drive manufactured by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI product line and regulates motor torque, speed, and position in automated machinery. By combining power conversion, encoder evaluation, and SafeMOTION safety functions in one unit, it forms the link between the machine controller and coordinated servo axes. This arrangement allows several motion channels to be handled in one housing, which is useful in compact machines that require synchronized axis control.

Operating from a three-phase input of 200–480 VAC, the module delivers a continuous phase current of 4.5 Aeff and supports 2 kW of mechanical output per axis. A nominal switching frequency of 5 kHz shapes the PWM voltage, while the internal DC link is supported by 470 µF of bus capacitance together with 5500 µF of input capacitance. These energy reserves help limit the 45 A inrush current and support a 10 kVA installed load during power-up. The IP20 enclosure and wall-mount design are intended for use inside a protected control cabinet. An internal braking resistor, three encoder interfaces, and a 100 Mbit/s fieldbus channel are included, supporting fast feedback exchange and reducing the need for extra external components.

For short motion bursts, each axis can reach 12.25 Aeff of peak current and up to 5 kW of instantaneous power, while the DC bus can continuously supply 4 kW to adjacent modules. A maximum output frequency of 598 Hz supports both high-speed spindle operation and standard servomotor applications. The hardware is available in 1-axis, 2-axis, or 3-axis versions, and this unit is the 3-axis version with the standard option set. Connector set 1 is included, connector set 2 is not included, and no plug-in or customized options are provided. SafeMOTION with a digital encoder channel is preinstalled, and the drive mounts directly to the machine backplane at the front cover.
