The EP7041-3102 EtherCAT Box is intended for the direct connection of different stepper motors. The PWM output stages for two motor coils cover a wide voltage and current range. The EP7041-3102 can be adjusted to the motor and the application by changing just a few parameters. 256-fold micro-stepping ensures particularly quiet and precise motor operation. Connection of an incremental encoder enables a simple servo axis to be realized. Two digital inputs and a digital 0.5 A output enable connection of end switches and a motor brake.
The hardware- and software-based configuration make the stepper motor module particularly suitable for applications that are subject to unsteady motor operation due to natural resonance of the motor and the moved mass. The EP7041-3102 supports 5 V DC encoders.
