8EI2X2MWDS0.0700-1
The 8EI2X2MWDS0.0700-1 is a servo drive module produced by B & R Automation within the 8EI Servo Drives series. Classified under the ACOPOS P3 8EI servo drive family, it is intended for industrial automation systems that require precise, closed-loop control of multiple motor axes. By modulating current and voltage to each connected motor, the device carries out speed and torque commands from a PLC or motion controller. This supports coordinated motion in packaging, material-handling, and assembly equipment where synchronized axis response is important. Its role is to regulate motor output continuously so commanded moves can be followed with stable acceleration, deceleration, and holding behavior.
This model is supplied as a 2-axis module, so two motor channels share one housing to conserve cabinet space. Each axis can deliver a continuous current of 2.2 Aeff, which is the root-mean-square phase current available without derating. Safety is supported by the integrated SafeMOTION feature, which works with a digital encoder to monitor velocity and position during safe torque off or limited-speed modes. Power input flexibility is provided through three-phase 3x 200–230 VAC supplies or single-phase 1x 110–230 VAC sources, allowing the module to fit common low-voltage installations. Separate control loops for the two channels allow the module to run independent or coordinated motions within the same unit.
Installation is streamlined by the built-in internal braking resistor, which dissipates regenerated energy during deceleration without external components. The wall mounting arrangement places the heat sink against the control cabinet panel to support convection cooling. A factory-installed front cover protects power and feedback connectors while guiding airflow through the cooling fins. Because there is no plug-in module included, the unit uses a standard backplane bus configuration. Keeping the braking path and protective cover inside the enclosure reduces the number of external parts around the drive.
