EP7342-0002 | EtherCAT Box, 2-channel motion interface, DC motor, 48 V DC, 3.5 A, M12, with incremental encoder
Decentralised, end-to-end system synchronisation: With Distributed Clocks and EtherCAT.
The EP7342-0002 EtherCAT Box enables direct operation of two DC motors. The speed or position is specified by the automation device via a 16-bit value. By connection of an incremental encoder (24 V DC, single-ended), a simple servo axis can be realized. The output stage is protected against overload and short-circuit. The EtherCAT Box has two channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes. The LEDs enable quick local diagnostics.
