B&R ACOPOS Servo Drives: High-Performance Motion Control Solutions

The B&R ACOPOS servo drive series is designed for ultra-precise, high-speed motion control, offering flexibility, scalability, and seamless integration into B&R’s automation architecture. Whether used in packaging lines, robotics, CNC machines, or conveyor systems, ACOPOS drives deliver top-tier performance and reliability.

In this article, we’ll explore the capabilities of key models: ACOPOS 1016, ACOPOS 1022, ACOPOS 1045, and ACOPOS 1180—each designed for different power levels and industrial applications.

What Makes B&R ACOPOS Drives Stand Out?

B&R’s ACOPOS drives offer:

• ✅ Cycle times as low as 50 μs for current, speed, and position control

• ✅ Real-time Ethernet POWERLINK communication

• ✅ Integrated safety functions like Safe Torque Off (STO)

• ✅ Modular, space-saving design for control cabinets

• ✅ Seamless integration with B&R Automation Studio

These drives are engineered for synchronous, asynchronous, linear, and torque motors, providing total flexibility for demanding machine automation tasks.

B&R ACOPOS Drive Models Overview

🔹 ACOPOS 1016

• Rated current: 1.6 A

• Ideal for: Small motors and compact applications

• Application examples: Labeling machines, feeders, compact pick-and-place systems

• Compact format for tight control cabinets

The ACOPOS 1016 is ideal when space is limited, but precise speed and torque control are essential.

🔹 ACOPOS 1022

• Rated current: 2.2 A

• Higher torque support than 1016

• Used in mid-range motion control systems such as light-duty conveyor drives, gantry axes, or small robotic arms

• POWERLINK-enabled for deterministic motion

🔹 ACOPOS 1045

• Rated current: 4.5 A

• Designed for: Medium-sized motion applications requiring reliable and continuous control

• Commonly used in packaging machinery, CNC axes, and coordinated drive systems

• Offers a perfect balance between power and compactness

🔹 ACOPOS 1180

• Rated current: 18.0 A

• High-performance drive for large, power-intensive motors

• Application examples: High-speed machinery, large conveyors, robotics, and energy-intensive processes

• Advanced current control for dynamic, load-sensitive motion

The ACOPOS 1180 is ideal when your system requires high torque and rapid acceleration.

Integrated Safety with ACOPOS

Safety functions are embedded directly into the drive, reducing wiring and increasing flexibility. Standard features include:

• Safe Torque Off (STO)

• Safe Stop 1 (SS1)

• Safe Operating Stop (SOS)

• Extended safety via B&R’s openSAFETY protocol

This allows compliance with global safety standards while simplifying machine design.

Communication with POWERLINK

All ACOPOS drives are equipped with POWERLINK, a real-time Ethernet-based communication protocol developed by B&R. This ensures:

• 🔗 Synchronized multi-axis control

• ⚙️ Low-latency data exchange

• 🔧 Simple system diagnostics and configuration through Automation Studio

POWERLINK makes these drives ideal for real-time motion applications, including robotic arms, rotary tables, and servo-controlled actuators.
