EP7402-0057

The EP7402-0057 EtherCAT Box offers two outputs with integrated MDR controller for the direct connection of 24 V DC conveyor roller motors or other BLDC motors with max. 3.5 A. Eight additional digital inputs/outputs enable connection of e.g. photoelectric switches and communication between the box modules in operation without PLC. The EP7402-0057 takes over the complete control of a roller motor independently of the manufacturer of conveyor or motor. Maximum rated current, acceleration or deceleration ramps and various other parameters can be configured and allow for a wide range of adaptations to different applications. The control of the motors is sensorless. The EtherCAT Box with IP67 protection rating measures only 174 mm x 60 mm x 36.5 mm and can be easily mounted in standard C-channel or L-brackets on the conveyor frame. It requires no additional protective covering. Power supply and EtherCAT communication are realized via a B23 ENP connector with a current carrying capacity of 28 A/45°C. In conveyor operation the EP7402-0057 can also be operated without PLC and provides functions such as ZPA (Zero Pressure Accumulation), single or block discharge. Further EtherCAT devices such as digital and analog I/Os, barcode readers or safety devices can be connected to the additional EtherCAT junction.

The EP7402-0167 EtherCAT Box offers two outputs with integrated MDR controller for the direct connection of 48 V DC conveyor roller motors or other BLDC motors with max. 3.5 A. Eight additional digital inputs/outputs enable connection of e.g. photoelectric switches and communication between the box modules in operation without PLC. The EP7402-0167 takes over the complete control of a roller motor independently of the manufacturer of conveyor or motor. The connection is made directly to the three phases of the motor. Maximum rated current, acceleration or deceleration ramps and various other parameters can be configured and allow for a wide range of adaptations to different applications. The control of the motors is sensorless. The EtherCAT Box with IP67 protection rating measures only 174 mm x 60 mm x 36.5 mm and can be easily mounted in standard C-channel or L-brackets on the conveyor frame.
