Product Description:

The 8I0IF109.400-2 is an inverter module produced by B & R Automation for the 8I7 ACOPOS Inverters series. It converts DC bus energy into controlled AC for servo and induction motors used in conveyors, packaging machines, and other automated cells. By residing on the same backplane as motion and safety controllers, it completes the drive train and supports distributed installations that need precise speed and torque regulation without adding cabinet complexity. This arrangement lets the controller, power stage, and feedback handling operate as a coordinated system for responsive axis control during start, stop, and speed changes.

I/O and communication are handled through the integrated X2X Link bus receiver, supplying deterministic data exchange with upstream controllers. The front connector delivers 500 mW of external I/O power, so small sensors can be energized locally. Mechanical assembly follows a Vertical orientation that promotes natural convection along the heat sink. Continuous service is permitted between -10 to 60°C, and the housing meets the IP20 protection class, limiting touch and particle ingress in a closed control cabinet. Status indicators show operating state and module condition, which helps operators verify readiness and identify basic operating states from the front of the unit.

Fault diagnosis uses a combination of LED status indicator and software diagnostics; when the controller flags run/error, overload events, users can distinguish between electrical faults and load-related interruptions more quickly. During storage, the unit remains stable from -40 to 85°C, and at elevations above 2000 m its allowable temperature decreases by 0.5°C per 100 m. Galvanic separation provides X2X-to-inverter isolation, preventing fieldbus transients from crossing into the power electronics. That isolation helps protect the control interface from disturbance currents that could otherwise interrupt communication or upset drive operation.
