8EI2X2HWD10.0700-1
B&R Automation's 8EI2X2HWD10.0700-1 servo drive module belongs to the 8EI Servo Drives series and the ACOPOS P3 8EI product line. It provides closed-loop control for two motor axes in one compact housing, allowing motion tasks such as pick-and-place, carton forming, or light robotics to be coordinated from the main machine controller. By combining power electronics with encoder feedback, the module converts command signals into precise torque, speed, and position control for brushless servomotors in industrial machinery. This layout supports synchronized motion in compact cabinets where multiple axes must respond quickly and consistently.
Electrically, the device is a 2-axis module with a continuous output of 2.2 Aeff per channel. It accepts a three-phase mains range of 3x 200-480 VAC, so it can operate from common industrial supply networks without a dedicated transformer. Mechanical installation uses wall mounting, which supports vertical heat sink airflow inside the cabinet and keeps the module aligned with standard panel layouts. For functional safety, the module includes hardwired STO so motor torque can be removed when the emergency stop circuit opens. These characteristics suit controlled motion on light-duty axes that still require precise feedback and reliable shutdown behavior.
The drive has an internal braking resistor to dissipate regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, which helps manage energy returned by the motor during frequent stop-and-go cycles. A factory-installed front cover protects energized parts during operation, and a 2-row connector set is included for power and feedback connections at the front of the module. The unit is supplied with no plug-in module, so the base drive configuration remains unchanged. Its connection layout supports compact integration where cable routing, guarded surfaces, and braking control all need to fit within a single enclosure.
