8AC120.60-1 B&R ACOPOS plug-in module CAN
Product Dimensions:
Product Description (Detailed Explanation)
The 8AC120.60-1 is an expansion card that slots directly into the side of an ACOPOS servo drive. Its primary function is to act as a communication bridge, allowing the drive to be integrated into a CAN-based automation network.
-
Communication Protocol: It enables the drive to communicate using the CANopen or CAN bus protocol, facilitating high-speed exchange of setpoints, actual values, and diagnostic information between the PLC and the drive.
-
Modular Design: As part of B&R’s modular drive concept, this module allows users to adapt a standard ACOPOS drive to specific network requirements without replacing the entire power unit.
-
Plug-and-Play: The module is automatically detected by the drive firmware upon startup, simplifying the commissioning process.

Product Advantages (Key Benefits)
-
Cost-Effective Networking: Provides a robust fieldbus interface without the high cost of Ethernet-based protocols for simpler multi-axis systems.
-
Space Saving: Because it is a plug-in module, it requires zero additional DIN rail space inside the control cabinet.
-
High Reliability: CAN technology is renowned for its electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, making this module ideal for harsh industrial environments.
-
Simplified Maintenance: If the communication interface is damaged, only the small 8AC120.60-1 module needs to be replaced rather than the expensive power stage of the servo drive.
Precautions (Important Notes)
-
Slot Selection: Ensure the module is inserted into the correct expansion slot (usually Slot 1 or 2) while the drive is completely powered off. Never plug or unplug the module while the $24\ V\ DC$ or high-voltage DC bus is active.
-
Termination Resistors: In a CAN network, a 120-ohm resistor must be placed at both physical ends of the bus. Failure to include these will result in intermittent communication errors or “Bus Off” states.
-
Shielding: Use high-quality shielded twisted-pair cables specifically rated for CAN bus. The shield should be grounded properly to the D-sub housing to prevent signal noise.
-
Address Conflicts: Ensure the Node ID (set via software or rotary switches on the drive) is unique for every device on the CAN network.
Product Applications (Typical Use Cases)
The 8AC120.60-1 is utilized in machinery where synchronized motion control over a fieldbus is required:
-
Packaging Machinery: Coordinating multiple axes for conveyors, labeling heads, and wrapping mechanisms.
-
Textile Industry: Synchronizing rollers and tension control systems using the CANopen drive profile.
-
Automated Assembly: Providing movement commands to small robotic arms or pick-and-place gantry systems.
-
Material Handling: Managing drive parameters in large-scale automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS).
