Introduction
The EP7041-4032 EtherCAT Box is designed for direct connection of different stepper motors. The PWM output stages for two motor coils cover a wide range of voltages and currents. With just a few parameters the EP7041-4032 can be adapted to the motor and the application. 256-fold microstepping ensures particularly quiet and precise motor operation.
Connection of a BiSS® C encoder or an SSI encoder enables a simple servo axis to be implemented. The control loop is closed via TwinCAT. The encoder allows absolute feedback so that no homing is necessary when starting the system.
Four digital inputs/outputs allow the connection of limit switches and a motor brake.
