Product Introduction

The B&R 8V1016.00-2 ACOPOS servo drive is designed for controlled motor operation in industrial automation and precision motion systems. Its 0.7 kW rated output and 1.6 A continuous current capacity make it suitable for smaller servo axes where controlled acceleration, deceleration, and positioning are required. The drive supports three-phase power input and includes integrated power-stage protection features.

The modular design provides three slots for plug-in interface modules. Available options include CAN, POWERLINK V2, resolver, EnDat, HIPERFACE, BiSS, and incremental/SSI encoder interfaces. These modules determine the available communication and feedback connections, so the base drive’s part number alone does not establish the installed configuration.

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls

Typical applications

  • Servo-controlled positioning axes.
  • CNC machinery and automated production equipment.
  • Packaging and material-handling systems.
  • Industrial motion-control stations.
  • Multi-axis machinery using B&R ACOPOS drives.

Field pitfalls

  1. Motor compatibility: Check rated motor current, peak current, feedback type, and motor cable length. The documented maximum motor cable length is 15 m.
  2. Interface module configuration: Confirm the installed encoder and communication modules. A replacement base drive without the required plug-in hardware may not communicate with the existing motor or controller.
  3. Mains and auxiliary power: Verify the three-phase input configuration and separate 24 VDC supply. Do not confuse the auxiliary supply with the main power connection.
  4. Thermal derating: At 480 VAC and 20 kHz switching frequency, continuous current must be reduced above 40°C. Installation elevation above 500 m also affects current capacity.

Discontinued status reported

A secondary lifecycle listing reports that the manufacturer discontinued this model on June 30, 2023. B&R’s official product documentation remains available, including a V6.0 hardware upgrade dated April 2026. Confirm current technical support and software compatibility separately.

Procurement recommendation: For a replacement installation, prioritize the exact 8V1016.00-2 designation and matching plug-in modules. Request a documented power-stage test and verify the drive with the intended motor and feedback configuration before returning the machine to production.
