Product Description:

The 8EI8X8MWT10.0700-1 is a servo drive manufactured by B&R Automation and supplied within the 8EI Servo Drives series. It belongs to the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive platform and conditions incoming AC power for motion control in conveyors, pick-and-place modules, and similar equipment. By combining power electronics, signal acquisition, and encoder feedback in one housing, the unit serves as a compact drive component for distributed machine automation. This arrangement lets the drive handle power conversion and feedback processing inside the same enclosure, which suits installations where panel space is limited.

In standard configuration, the unit is delivered as a 3-axis module, allowing one frame to control three independent motor windings. Each axis can draw a continuous current of 8.8 Aeff, which supports sustained torque output without exceeding normal thermal limits. The input stage accepts symmetric supplies at 3x 200-230 VAC for three-phase systems or single-phase input from 1x 110-230 VAC where that supply arrangement is used. For cabinet installation, the housing is prepared for wall mounting. Motion-stop protection is provided by the encoder-referenced Hardwired STO safety circuit, which removes drive-side torque when the external safety path opens.

A sealed front cover protects the control board during normal use and helps keep the control section enclosed inside the cabinet. There is a 2-row connector set for quick I/O attachment, while the single-row connector is omitted to simplify wiring. The drive includes an integrated internal braking resistor for absorbing regenerative energy, so no external resistor is needed for most deceleration cycles. The module ships without plug-in expansion cards, follows the standard option code, and mounts with four captive screws.
