Product Description:

The 8EI4X5MWDS0.0700-1 servo drive is produced by B&R Automation for the ACOPOS P3 8EI Servo Drives series. In a motion-control cabinet, it converts the incoming mains supply into regulated three-phase output for servo operation on automated equipment. That allows coordinated position, velocity, and torque control in applications such as packaging machines, handling systems, and other production cells. Because the power and control stages are combined in one unit, the drive supports compact axis layouts within a centralized electrical enclosure.

This unit delivers a continuous current of 4.5 Aeff on each output channel, so sizing calculations can use that value for steady-state thermal loading. The hardware is a 2-axis module, and input flexibility is provided by 3x 200-230 VAC or 1x 110-230 VAC, which allows use on either three-phase or single-phase supplies. Functional safety is integrated through SafeMOTION with digital encoder, allowing safe stop and speed-monitoring functions within the drive system. An internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, which helps manage braking energy during frequent starts, stops, and short indexing moves. This arrangement is useful where repeated deceleration would otherwise return excess energy to the DC bus.

The housing is prepared for wall mounting, keeping the electronics positioned against a cabinet surface that can support heat transfer. For signal routing, Connector Set 2 (2-row) is populated, while the single-row set is omitted so the interface arrangement remains straightforward. A sealed front cover helps protect the control electronics from incidental contact and airborne debris inside the cabinet. No plug-in option cards are included, so the drive relies on the standard I/O already present on the base module for its default control and signal connections. That layout keeps the base configuration simple without adding extra interface hardware.
