B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1045.001-2: Precision Motion Control Engineered for Industrial Resilience

The Epitome of Robust Servo Drive Technology

In the demanding environments of modern industrial automation—where precision, reliability, and environmental resilience are non-negotiable—the B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1045.001-2 stands as a benchmark solution. As a critical component of B&R’s legacy ACOPOS system (distinct from the newer ACOPOS P3 platform), this servo drive combines high dynamic performance with exceptional durability. Designed for applications ranging from high-speed packaging to precision printing, the 8V1045.001-2 delivers 2 kW output (4.4 A continuous current, 24 A peak) while integrating advanced safety, modular flexibility, and a unique protective coating for harsh operating conditions357.

Core Technological Capabilities

1. High-Performance Motion Architecture

• Ultra-Fast Control Cycles: Executes current, speed, and position loops in 50 μs, enabling nanosecond-level synchronization accuracy via POWERLINK communication. This ensures flawless coordination in multi-axis systems critical for applications like rotary die-cutting or web tension control.

• Regenerative Braking & Energy Efficiency: Features an integrated braking resistor (7 kW peak, 200 W continuous) and leverages ACOPOS’s shared DC bus architecture. This allows energy from decelerating axes to power accelerating ones, reducing net energy consumption by up to 30% in cyclic machinery and minimizing heat dissipation.

• Extended Environmental Tolerance: Engineered with a partially coated circuit board (unique to the ".001-2" variant), providing enhanced resistance to dust, humidity, and chemical exposure. Operates reliably at 0–45°C ambient temperatures and up to 95% non-condensing humidity.

2. Integrated Safety & Compliance

• Functional Safety Certifications: Meets SIL 3 / PL e / Category 4 standards with embedded SafeMOTION functions, including Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Limited Speed (SLS), and Safe Operating Stop (SOS). Eliminates external safety relays, reducing wiring complexity by 40%.

• Global Electromagnetic Compatibility: Complies with EN 55011, CISPR 11, and EN 61800-3, supporting diverse grounding schemes (TN, TT, IT, TN-S) for worldwide deployment.

Hyper-Modular Design Philosophy

The 8V1045.001-2 excels with its four-slot modular architecture, enabling customization via plug-in modules without hardware redesigns:

• Encoder Interfaces: Supports EnDat 2.2, HIPERFACE DSL, BiSS, resolvers, and incremental/SSI encoders (e.g., 8AC126.60-1).

• Communication Protocols: Interfaces with POWERLINK V2 (8AC114.60-2), CANopen (8AC110.60-3), and PROFIBUS-DP610.

• I/O Expansion: Modules like 8AC130.60-1 offer 8 digital I/Os (configurable as 24V inputs or 100 mA outputs) and 2 high-current (2A) outputs, ideal for sensor integration or trigger-based tasks.

Target Applications & Industry-Specific Advantages

• Printing & Converting Machinery: Sub-100 ns synchronization ensures register accuracy at web speeds >1,000 m/min. "Repetitive control" algorithms compensate for mechanical vibrations, eliminating print artifacts.

• Packaging Automation: Integrated trigger inputs (53 μs response) enable precision timestamping for cut-to-length operations, while electronic camming synchronizes film feed, filling, and sealing axes.

• Harsh Environment Operations: The protective coating and IP20 rating make it ideal for food processing, plastics molding, and textile industries where moisture, dust, or temperature fluctuations are common.

Seamless System Integration

• Automation Studio Ecosystem: Configured within B&R’s unified engineering environment. Pre-tested mapp Motion components simplify complex functions like flying saws or electronic gearing.

• Hybrid Topology Support: Interfaces with ACOPOSremote (decentralized drives) and ACOPOSmotor (motor-integrated drives), reducing cabinet space and cabling costs.

• Smart Motor Integration: Auto-detects 8LVA/8LVB servo motors via EnDat 2.2 encoders, eliminating manual parameterization and enabling plug-and-play motor replacement.

Conclusion: The Resilient Drive for Demanding Automation

The B&R ACOPOS 8V1045.001-2 redefines industrial durability without compromising performance. Its coated circuit board extends service life in corrosive or humid settings, while 50 μs control cycles and sub-100 ns synchronization ensure precision in high-speed applications. Unlike monolithic drives, its modular I/O and safety integration reduce engineering effort by 30% and cut commissioning time by half.

For engineers designing machinery exposed to washdowns, dust, or temperature extremes—from food packaging to textile manufacturing—this drive isn’t just a component; it’s a strategic investment in resilient, future-proof automation. By merging B&R’s motion expertise with unparalleled environmental hardening, the 8V1045.001-2 delivers both micron-level accuracy and peace of mind.
