Description
Dealing with an axis fault on a high-speed assembly line or optimization of a multi-axis robotics cell? The B&R Industrial Automation 8BVI0055HWD0.000-1 is a dual-axis (Double) inverter module from the ACOPOSmulti series, designed for independent closed-loop control of two synchronous or asynchronous servo motors. Delivering a continuous current profile of 5.5 A per axis, this space-saving module mounts directly onto a shared backplane to share a common DC bus, reducing control cabinet heat and saving energy during coordinated deceleration phases.
During a recent panel rebuild for a multi-lane sorting conveyor, we dropped in this dual-axis module to replace two older standalone drives. The physical footprint on the mounting plate shrank by half, and the common DC bus allowed the regenerative energy from one braking conveyor axis to directly power the adjacent axis when it accelerated.
Important Mounting and Variant Note: The “HWD” in the product code designates a dual-axis variant designed for standard wall mounting inside the electrical enclosure. This model relies on standard convection cooling through the cabinet—though your mileage may vary depending on internal ambient temperatures and whether your cycle times require an auxiliary 8BXF001.0000-00 fan assembly.

Global Procurement & Logistics Checklist
Sourcing specialized European motion components like the B&R 8BVI0055HWD0.000-1 requires careful attention to international customs documentation to prevent expensive production delays.
1. Document Control for Customs Clearance
Ensure your commercial shipping invoices explicitly display the proper Harmonized System (HS) Tariff Code. For dual-axis industrial electronic servo controllers and inverters, use HS Code: 8504.40.95 (or national variations for static converters). Misclassifying this module under a generic input/output component code can lead to customs holds at entry terminals while agents verify electrical classification datasheets.
2. Export Compliance and End-User Declarations
Because ACOPOSmulti drives feature embedded functional safety electronics and advanced multi-axis synchronization processing capabilities, they fall under specific dual-use trade evaluation programs. Your freight forwarder must verify that the destination entity passes denied-party screening, and you may need to provide an End-User Statement (EUS) to clear European or US export compliance checks seamlessly.
3. Incoterms Selection
For urgent machine-down situations, purchasing under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms is highly recommended. Under DDP, the supplier takes complete financial and administrative responsibility for customs clearance, import tariffs, and final transport to your facility. If you prefer to use your own corporate freight forwarder to maintain complete visibility over air cargo space, FCA (Free Carrier) at the seller’s logistics hub is the preferred choice.
Supply Chain Status and Commercial Terms
- Product Condition: Available as New Original (Factory Sealed), New Surplus (Unused/Open Box), or Refurbished (100% Bench Tested on specialized B&R motor fixtures). Always clarify your required hardware lifecycle status when asking for availability.
- Warranty Period: 12-Month functional warranty from the shipping date.
- Lead Time: In-stock hardware usually dispatches within 1 to 2 business days. International express transit (DHL/FedEx Air) generally requires an additional 3 to 5 business days worldwide.
- Pricing Note: The listed value is a general market reference point. Final procurement pricing is subject to spot component availability, regional supply chain variances, and volume agreements. Please connect directly with our international distribution desk to receive a formal commercial quote.
Global Logistics and Product FAQ
Does the module ship with the mating wire connectors or terminal blocks?
Well, technically the bare 8BVI0055HWD0.000-1 part number contains only the drive module housing and its internal power boards. Terminal plug sets for the motor connections (Axes X and Y), the 24V control signals, and the safe torque off (STO) circuits must be ordered separately or reclaimed from the field module you are replacing.
Can I run two completely different motor types on this module?
Yes. Since the dual-axis channels are structurally independent within the firmware, you can configure Axis 1 to control a permanent magnet synchronous servo motor and Axis 2 to control a standard induction motor—provided both fit within the 5.5 A continuous current limit.
What parameters alter the rated output current of this drive?
Don’t underestimate environmental conditions: the 5.5 A output rating per axis is calculated for an installation altitude up to 500 meters above sea level and a default switching frequency of 5 kHz. If your engineering team configures the drive for a 10 kHz or 20 kHz switching frequency to reduce acoustic motor hum, or if your facility sits at a high elevation, you must apply a current de-rating factor to prevent premature thermal tripping.
