Product Description:

The 8EI8X8HWD10.05000-1 is a servo drive manufactured by B & R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 platform and controls two motor axes in packaging, assembly, and material-handling machines. Closed-loop current and position regulation lets connected motors reach commanded speeds, hold position, or follow programmed paths from a higher-level controller. A wall-mount backplane places the electronics close to actuators, which helps shorten cable runs and reduce control-cabinet volume. This arrangement also keeps the drive function near the machine section it serves, which suits distributed automation layouts.

The drive operates from a three-phase supply of 3x 200–480 VAC, allowing direct connection to common factory mains. During steady operation, each axis can deliver 8.8 Aeff, which indicates the maximum continuous motor load. Safety monitoring is provided by Hardwired STO safety technology with encoder, so opening the STO circuit removes motor power within milliseconds. The unit uses Wall mounting, and the rear plate transfers heat into the enclosure wall instead of relying only on free air around the housing. It is an ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive, so it uses the same parameter structure and diagnostic approach found across that platform.

As delivered, the module is a 2-axis module intended for coordinated dual-axis applications. An internal braking resistor dissipates regenerated energy during rapid deceleration without requiring external hardware. I/O wiring is routed through a 2-row connector set, which supports orderly cable placement on the module face. The drive is supplied in the standard option level, and the single-row connector alternative is not fitted. This keeps the installed feature set straightforward for dual-axis operation.
