High performance with a compact design
The ACOPOS P3 three-axis servo drive
With a power density of 4 amps per liter of space, this innovative system is the most efficient servo drive with integrated safety functions available on the market. Previously unobtainable dynamics and precision: The sampling time is just 50 µs for the entire controller cascade.
Space requirements reduced by 69%
The ACOPOS P3 is offered as a 1, 2 or 3-axis drive and covers a power spectrum ranging from 0.6 to 24 kW, or 1.2 to 48 amps. The housing of the three-axis drive is as small as a conventional one-axis drive, making it possible to reduce the amount of space required in the control cabinet by 69%.
Taking virtual sensor technology to the next dimension
The short cycle time of 50 µs for current, speed and position control open up new possibilities for virtual sensor technology. A virtual motor position encoder does away with the need for an encoder, encoder cable and evaluation unit in the servo drive while increasing availability at the same time. Other special functions for more precise control and faster reactions – repetitive control, for example – can be implemented using virtual sensor technology.
Safety included
The ACOPOS P3 fits seamlessly into B&R's modular and fully scalable automation portfolio, allowing the creation and implementation of especially lean automation solutions. A Power Panel, any number of ACOPOS servo drives and X20 I/O modules are all that is needed to set up a complete and extremely powerful automation solution. Safety functions in accordance with SIL 3 / PL e can also be integrated upon request. Safely Limited Torque (SLT) and Remanent Safe Position (RSP) functions are new additions compared to previous ACOPOS models. And with a total of 14 safe motion functions based on openSAFETY, it is possible to satisfy all possible safety demands in an optimal way.
The ACOPOS P3 can be used anywhere in the world thanks to its support for the world's most common power mains configurations, such as TN, TT, IT and corner grounded TN-S systems. This also reduces the overall number of machine variants needed.

The perfect motor for any application
B&R is adding two new sizes to its standard series of servo motors
B&R is adding two new sizes to its 8LS series of servo motors. Size A offers extremely high torque with a flange size of 70 mm and an extremely compact design, while size 9 rounds off the upper end of the performance spectrum with up to 75 kW of power. Both of these options make it possible for machine manufacturers and system integrators to adapt motors betters to actual requirements.
More performance for specific applications
Compact size A motors are the perfect choice where high torque density is needed in a very tight footprint. The fully sealed stator allows a high degree of efficiency as well as high continuous torque. With a maximum torque of up to 1,000 Nm, size 9 motors open up entirely new applications with high demands on power and dynamics. They can be combined with any of B&R's many gearbox options and shipped as pre-assembled motor-gearbox combinations.
Safety included
All motors from the 8LS series are offered with an optional digital encoder and scalable safety functions. Motors up to size 7 are also available with B&R's robust single-cable solution, which combines the cables for the motor and encoder. This reduces cabling to a minimum and substantially reduces installation costs

High-performance control, even with a sine wave filter
B&R upgrades current control loop for ACOPOS P3 servo drives
B&R has upgraded the current control loop for ACOPOS P3 servo drives. Users can implement a sine wave filter without negatively affecting drive control performance. This gives machines the advantages of a sine wave filter while the ACOPOS P3 retains its usual high performance.
Better efficiency
By converting the voltage signal from a square waveform to a largely sinusoidal one, sine wave filters help improve energy efficiency, reduce strain on the motor and decrease electromagnetic noise on the motor cable. They also smooth out the current curve, which reduces both acoustic noise and motor losses. The overall efficiency of the servo drive is thus improved.
High overall performance
The ACOPOS P3 takes the characteristic curve of the sine wave filter into account, allowing the full bandwidth of the current control loop to be utilized and ensuring that it is stable and robust. B&R thus ensures high overall performance of the ACOPOS P3.
In some circumstances, other manufacturers require the current control loop to be operated at a lower bandwidth when using a sine wave filter in order to ensure a stable and robust control results. This has a negative effect on servo drive performance.

No access for unauthorized users
Easily and securely manage users and roles in OPC UA
The new user role system in the B&R Automation Studio software development environment simplifies management of OPC UA access rights. This feature prevents unauthorized users from accessing an OPC UA system, modifying data or performing certain actions.
Any number of roles can be defined, which can then be assigned individual access rights for each node. Typical access rights include reading, writing or browsing. It is even possible to completely hide a node so that it is invisible to members of a specific role group. To make configuration even easier, the rights of a parent node can be inherited by its children.
User role system
A user is assigned one or more roles, with additional protection provided by an encrypted password. The user role system can also be updated during operation. This includes, for example, assigning a username and password to a new system operator. These functions are available directly in the application program on the controller using function blocks.
Security with certificates
In order to ensure secure and trusted data exchange, digital certificates in accordance with the X.509 standard can be used in the OPC UA system. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) subsystem in Automation Studio and Automation Runtime support the management of these certificates. Certificates can be displayed, created and transferred to the certificate store on the OPC UA server.

B&R eliminates this seeming contradiction with the high degree of scalability of their control systems. This makes it possible for B&R to cover all requirements with a single platform – from the smallest controllers all the way up to CNC, robotics and process control applications. What's more, this platform can be programmed and configured – regardless of the hardware being used – with Automation Studio. This compatibility reduces development costs while at the same time protecting investments made throughout the entire life cycle of the machine.

Handheld HMI for flexible performance
B&R presents new series of Mobile Panels
B&R has added three new mobile units to its HMI portfolio. The Mobile Panel 7100 series of handheld HMI units stands out with an exceptionally ergonomic, light and shockproof design. These new models are B&R's answer for applications in harsh industrial environments that require the performance of an industrial PC.
Optimal display
The new Mobile Panels are available in a range of sizes. The 7140 and 7150 feature a 7" WSVGA and 10.1" WXGA display, respectively. Both of them use the innovative mapp View HMI software. The 7151 model has a 10.1" display and runs a Windows-based operating system.
Robust design for harsh industrial environments
Mobile Panels make optimum use of limited space, featuring an integrated touch screen as well as dedicated keys for frequently used functions. Operating elements like the key switch and stop button are recessed in the rounded, double-walled housing able to absorb hard impacts. The IP65-rated mobile HMI units also provide integrated interfaces including USB 2.0 and Ethernet 10/100.

reACTION: Turbo-charged safety technology
B&R reACTION technology for ultrafast safety applications
B&R is heralding a breakthrough in response times for safety technology. reACTION technology achieves safety response times down to 100 µs.
With this advancement, B&R is extending the use of reACTION technology into the area of safety applications. This technology makes it possible for time-critical subprocesses to be executed directly in the I/O modules, which reduces response times by a factor of 100 or more. What's more, no expensive special hardware is needed to use reACTION technology, and programming is just as easy as it is for conventional control solutions.
Relief for controller and network
The reACTION module handles a portion of the processing, relieving both the controller and the network and in many cases allowing them to be scaled down. In most cases, the resulting savings more than outweigh the added cost of the reACTION modules.
