Introduction

The EP7211-003x EtherCAT Box is a 1-channel servo drive for synchronous servomotors with OCT feedback system.
It is intended for operation with motors of the AM81xx series. These motors have an electronic identification plate. EP7211-003x can read the electronic identification plate in order to set the motor parameters in TwinCAT automatically.

Process-side interfaces of EP7211-003x:

• Motor
• Motor brake
• OCT communication:
• Feedback
• Electronic identification plate readout
• 2 x touch probe
• Hardware enable: digital input for activating the output stage

The motor is connected via a hybrid cable. The hybrid cable contains the wires for the motor phases, the brake and the OCT communication.

Using the EP7211-003x together with an EL2904, an STO function complying with EN 61800-5-2 can be implemented in accordance with the application example.
The user bears the responsibility for the safety evaluation in case of deviation from the application example.
