Product Description:

The 8ECM0010.1111C-0 cable from B & R Automation is part of the ACOPOS P3 Cables series. Delivered as a preassembled servo motor harness, it combines power conductors with paired signal cores so that one line feeds an ACOPOS P3 motor while returning encoder data to the drive. This arrangement reduces separate cable runs, helps conserve cabinet space, and supports electromagnetic compatibility between power and low-level feedback circuits on fast-moving machine axes. Because power and feedback share one harness, cable routing stays more orderly along moving machine members. It has molded strain-relief ends and is intended for dynamic routing inside drag chains.

The cable is supplied in a 10 m length, allowing controller-to-motor spans common in multi-axis cells. Inside the 12.2 mm jacket, a 4 x 1.5 mm² + 2 x 2 x 0.75 mm² conductor layout separates phase conductors from twisted signal pairs, supporting current flow while limiting crosstalk. Connection is made through an 8-pin female SpeedTec motor connector, which provides a compact interface for the motor end. Rated for 1000 VAC, the insulation withstands a 4 kV wire-to-wire test and provides at least 500 MΩ·km of resistance, while the power and signal conductors remain below 13.7 Ω/km and 26.7 Ω/km. Continuous-motion installations also benefit from 5,000,000 flex cycles, a maximum travel speed of 300 m/min, and low contact resistance that helps maintain control integrity during repeated axis movement.

When connected, the assembly achieves a protection level of IP66/67, blocking dust and high-pressure water in washdown lines. Cable chains may accelerate up to 50 m/s² without exceeding tensile limits, provided the routing path maintains a dynamic loop above 94 mm. The listed mass of 1.5 kg eases carrier loading while providing enough axial stiffness to resist corkscrew deformation during long strokes. The cable suits gantry, packaging, and pick-and-place equipment where the harness must move repeatedly without losing signal stability. The jacket diameter and flexible construction also help the cable track consistently through guided motion paths.
