Product Description:

B & R Automation manufactures the 8EI4X5HWTS0.0700-1, a servo drive in the ACOPOS P3 8EI product line. The unit supplies regulated three-phase power and feedback processing for multi-axis motion loops in automated machinery. In a machine control system, it serves as the power interface between the AC supply, the servo motor, and the higher-level motion controller. It converts mains voltage into precisely controlled motor currents while sending diagnostic and safety information to the control layer. Feedback processing inside the unit supports stable axis regulation during changing loads and speed profiles.

The drive operates from a 3x 200-480 VAC input, so it can be used on North American or European industrial grids without external transformers. A continuous phase current of 4.5 Aeff is the thermal operating limit, which suits low- to medium-torque servomotors in compact multi-axis systems. Because it is built as a 3-axis module, one housing controls three motor channels and helps reduce panel space compared with separate single-axis drives. This arrangement concentrates three channels in one enclosure instead of spreading them across separate drive housings. Functional safety is handled by SafeMOTION together with a digital encoder interface, allowing certified shutdown and monitoring routines inside the drive. For wiring, the unit uses a 2-row connector set, and no plug-in expansion cards are included in this standard configuration.

The drive installs by wall mounting, and a sealed front cover is fitted to protect the internal boards. An internal braking resistor is included, so deceleration energy can be dissipated without external hardware during normal stopping cycles. The unit is supplied in a standard configuration rather than a customized mechanical build. No customized mechanical features are included, and the installed hardware remains focused on the drive, safety, and braking functions.
