The EP7041 EtherCat Motion Box enables stepper motor control in a compact, machine-mountable device, without need for a protective control cabinet.
Well-suited for harsh environments, the compact EtherCat module in
protection class IP 67 allows the connection of the vendor’s stepper
motors up to 50VDC and 5A. An integrated incremental encoder connection
on the EP7041 permits the implementation of a single servo axis. In its
compact housing, which measures just 5x1.2x1-in (126x30x26.5mm), the
EP7041 contains an encoder connection, two digital inputs for limit
switches and a digital output for a brake. In addition to the modules
designed for 5A, there is also a 1.5A version (EP7041-1002) for the
control of lower power stepper motors. One highlight of the stepper
motor module is the 64-fold micro-stepping, designed to ensure a very
smooth and precise motor rotation.Beckhoff Automation LLCwww.beckhoffautomation.com952.890.0000
