B&R 8AC114.60-2 ACOPOS POWERLINK V2 Communication Interface Module
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
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.
