Stepper motor terminal, 24 V DC, 1,5 A, vector control
The The EL7037 EtherCAT Terminal is intended for stepper motors with low performance range. The PWM
output stages cover a wide range of voltages and currents. Together with two inputs for limit switches, they
are located in the EtherCAT Terminal.
The EL7037 can be adjusted to the motor and the application by changing just a few parameters. Stepper
motors from the AS10xx series can be operated with vector control. This control technique offers various
benefits, such as better dynamics and lower power consumption.
Together with a stepper motor, the EL7037 represents an inexpensive compact drive.
