Description
Product overview
In automated machinery, servo drives regulate motor torque and speed in response to motion commands, encoder feedback, and the machine’s control sequence. The B&R 8V1010.00-2 ACOPOS 1010 is designed for compact motion-control applications with a nominal power rating of 0.45 kW. Its integrated line filter, braking resistor, and electronic safe-restart interlock reduce the need for separate components for those functions, subject to the machine’s electrical and safety design.
The drive uses a modular architecture with three plug-in module slots for compatible interface and feedback options. Available modules include CAN and POWERLINK interfaces, as well as encoder and I/O options. Selection of the correct option modules depends on the controller, motor feedback device, and communication architecture. The 8V1010.00-2 must not be confused with the similarly named 8V1010.50-2, which is intended for a different mains-voltage configuration.

Major features and advantages
1. Integrated power-stage functions
The ACOPOS 1010 includes a line filter, braking resistor, and electronic safe-restart interlock. These integrated functions can simplify cabinet design, but they do not eliminate the need to check braking energy, thermal limits, grounding, and the machine’s safety architecture.
2. Modular interface options
Three plug-in slots support selected interface and feedback modules. Depending on the application, options can provide CAN, POWERLINK, encoder feedback, or additional I/O. Confirm the specific option-module part numbers and permitted slot positions before configuring a replacement drive.
3. Compact motion control
The 0.45 kW rating suits lower-power servo axes in machinery and production equipment. Correct sizing still requires the motor’s continuous and peak current, acceleration profile, load inertia, duty cycle, and braking requirements—not just the motor’s nominal kilowatt rating.
4. Configurable feedback and communication
B&R’s ACOPOS module range includes options for several encoder technologies and fieldbus interfaces. The required combination depends on the installed controller and motor. A drive with the correct base model but an incompatible encoder or communication module may not operate with the existing system.
5. Defined environmental limits
The drive is specified for cabinet installation with IP20 protection. It is not designed to provide sealed protection against water or conductive dust on its own. Cabinet ventilation, clearances, and ambient temperature must remain within the manufacturer’s limits.
Application scenarios and common pain points
- Packaging and assembly machinery: Servo-axis control for indexing, positioning, and coordinated movement.
- Material handling: Motor control in compact automated equipment.
- Production machinery: Replacement of an existing ACOPOS 1010 drive while retaining the established control architecture.
- Machine refurbishment: Assessment of an obsolete drive where the motor, feedback device, and controller must remain compatible.
Common fault symptoms include drive-enable failure, overcurrent trips, DC-bus or mains faults, encoder feedback errors, and unexpected shutdowns. Before replacing the drive, check the incoming supply, motor cable, grounding, feedback wiring, braking circuit, and configured parameters. A drive fault code should be interpreted using the relevant ACOPOS manual rather than treated as proof of an internal hardware failure.

Engineer’s guide: three checks before ordering
1. Confirm the order code. Check whether the existing label reads 8V1010.00-2, 8V1010.001-2, or 8V1010.50-2. Small differences in the order code can indicate a different coating or electrical configuration.
2. Match the motor and supply. Verify the mains supply, motor current, feedback device, braking requirements, and controller interface. Do not select a replacement based on the 0.45 kW rating alone.
3. Record the configuration before removal. Document installed option modules, drive parameters, encoder settings, and network configuration. Follow the manufacturer’s procedure for isolation, discharge, removal, and commissioning.
Safety warning: This drive connects to hazardous AC mains and contains stored electrical energy. Isolate all relevant supplies, follow lockout/tagout procedures, and verify the DC bus is discharged according to the manufacturer’s instructions before handling the unit.
Frequently asked questions
1. What is the B&R 8V1010.00-2 used for?
It is a 0.45 kW ACOPOS 1010 servo drive used to control motor motion in compatible industrial automation systems.
2. What is its rated current?
The published specification lists a rated continuous output current of 1.0 A. Confirm motor peak-current and duty-cycle requirements before selecting it for a replacement.
3. What supply voltage does it use?
The documented 8V1010.00-2 supports three-phase 400–480 VAC ±10%, with three-phase 230 VAC also listed. Verify the exact unit’s nameplate and local supply configuration.
4. Does it include a braking resistor?
Yes. An integrated braking resistor is listed in the manufacturer’s product description. Confirm that the application’s regenerative energy and braking duty remain within the specified limits.

Do not assume direct interchangeability. The .50 version is specified for a different mains-voltage arrangement. Verify the complete drive and machine configuration before substitution.
6. What should buyers check when sourcing a replacement?
Request a photograph of the actual nameplate, confirmation of the complete order code, condition and testing records, installed option modules, and warranty terms. For used or refurbished equipment, establish whether the drive has been tested under suitable operating conditions.
7. What information is needed to confirm compatibility?
Provide the existing drive’s full order code, motor model and ratings, mains supply, feedback type, controller model, installed option modules, and any recorded fault codes. These details help determine whether the drive matches the original installation.
