Product Description:

The 8EI4X5MWD10.0600-1 is a servo drive module produced by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series and belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive product family. As a multi-axis power stage, the unit supplies controlled torque and speed to synchronous or induction motors used in industrial automation cells, packaging lines, and material-handling stations. By integrating two amplifier channels in one housing, it minimizes cabinet space and streamlines wiring while communicating with the machine controller for real-time motion execution. This layout is suited to automation cabinets where multiple coordinated axes must fit within limited panel width.

The module accepts an input of 3x 200-230 VAC or 1x 110-230 VAC, allowing operation from either a three-phase machine bus or a single-phase service feed. It delivers a continuous output of 4.5 Aeff per axis, which is the sustained motor load the drive can supply without thermal derating. Being a 2-axis module, the device houses two independent inverter sections governed by a common DC link. This arrangement lets both axes share the same supply section while remaining independently controlled. A built-in internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, removing the need for an external brake chopper in many applications. The mounting style is wall mounting, so the heat sink aligns vertically against the panel to encourage natural convection. The unit incorporates hardwired STO safety with encoder feedback, enabling certified torque shutdown through a direct wiring circuit rather than fieldbus commands.

The electrical interface is completed through Connector Set 1 (1-row), which is supplied with every drive for power and signal terminations. A second interface, Connector Set 2 (2-row), is not fitted, simplifying the wiring layout when only the basic I/O is required. Because there is no plug-in module in the delivery scope, expansion features such as fieldbus transceivers must be installed elsewhere in the control cabinet. The front cover included with the drive shields the terminals from accidental contact and supports the required creepage distances during operation.
