Product Description:
The 8EI8X8HWT10.0700-1 is a servo drive module manufactured by B&R Automation for the 8EI Servo Drives series. It interfaces with machine control infrastructure and regulates connected motors so that equipment can perform coordinated positioning, speed, and torque tasks. The drive converts incoming AC power into pulse-width-modulated motor outputs that operate in synchronization with encoder feedback. By integrating power electronics, safety circuits, and communication lines in one enclosure, the unit reduces cabinet wiring in conveyor, packaging, and assembly systems.
This device is configured as a 3-axis module for controlling three motors from a shared enclosure. Each axis supplies a continuous effective current of 8.8 A RMS, providing capacity for midsize servomotors under sustained loads. The input section supports a three-phase 200–480 VAC input, allowing operation with a broad range of industrial power systems. Regenerated energy from motor deceleration is dissipated through an internal braking resistor, reducing the need for an external resistor bank in moderate-inertia applications. Motor and encoder cables connect through a two-row connector set, which distributes the contacts across two rows and provides an organized interface for cable routing. The arrangement also provides accessible connection points when motor or feedback cables require inspection.
The unit belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI platform and uses a compact format suited to multi-axis machine designs. Functional safety is provided by hardwired safe torque off (STO), which removes torque-producing power from the connected motors through dedicated safety inputs. The housing has wall-mounting flanges for direct attachment inside an electrical cabinet, while the installed front cover shields live components and permits cooling airflow. The standard configuration includes no plug-in module, leaving the corresponding expansion position unoccupied. Power conversion, feedback processing, and safety control remain contained within the main drive enclosure, while the front-facing connections keep motor and encoder wiring accessible.
