Product Overview

The B&R 8AC114.60-2 is a POWERLINK V2 communication interface module for installation in slot 1 of compatible ACOPOS servo drives. It enables deterministic network communication, drive configuration and synchronized motion control over a 100 Mbit/s POWERLINK network.

An integrated two-port hub simplifies line and tree network wiring. The module is intended for complex and time-critical motion applications where the ACOPOS drive must exchange real-time control and diagnostic data with a compatible automation controller.

Main Features

• POWERLINK V2 interface for ACOPOS servo drives
• Installation in ACOPOS plug-in slot 1
• Two RJ45 communication ports
• Integrated two-port network hub
• 100 Mbit/s transfer rate
• Synchronous operation with the POWERLINK cycle
• Hardware and software watchdog support through the drive
• Node number configurable by switch
• Electrically isolated network interface

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

The module is used in ACOPOS systems requiring POWERLINK V2 communication for synchronized servo axes, packaging machinery, printing systems, electronic cam applications, material handling and coordinated multi-axis motion.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

Verify the complete model and revision, ACOPOS drive compatibility, slot 1 installation, POWERLINK node address, network topology, controller project, cable type and Automation Studio hardware definition. A CAN, Sercos or Ethernet interface cannot be used as a drop-in replacement.

Related Models

The 8AC112.60-1 is another ACOPOS POWERLINK interface, but its hardware identification, revision and project compatibility must be checked before substitution.

Inquiry and Supply Notes

Provide the drive nameplate, original interface-module label, POWERLINK node setting, controller model, Automation Studio version and network diagram for verification.
