Application Scenarios
In a high-speed packaging machine manufacturer’s production line, synchronizing multiple servo axes for film feeding, cutting, and sealing had become a bottleneck due to controller latency and wiring complexity. By deploying the B&R 8BVI0028HWD0.000-1, the engineering team consolidated two axes into one module, reducing cabinet space by approximately 40% compared to single-axis alternatives . The integrated SafeMOTION functions—including STO (Safe Torque Off) and SLS (Safely Limited Speed)—allowed safety signals to be transmitted over the POWERLINK network via openSAFETY, eliminating extensive hardwiring and achieving cycle times as low as 800 µs while meeting SIL 3 requirements .
This modular approach proved invaluable for machine builders requiring flexible axis configurations. A CNC router manufacturer, for instance, utilized the B&R 8BVI0028HWD0.000-1 to drive both the X and Y axes from a single module, leveraging the Dynamic Node Allocation (DNA) feature to automatically assign network nodes during startup . The result was a streamlined commissioning process, reduced component count, and improved system reliability.
