The compact stepper motor output stage is accommodated in the EtherCAT Terminal together with two digital inputs for limit switches an one encoder interface. Through parameterization, the EL7041 can be adjusted to the motor and the application requirements. 64-fold micro-stepping ensures particularly quiet and precise motor operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EL7041 is part of the ELXXXX series EtherCAT Terminals manufactured by Beckhoff. These terminals, with the aids of their fine granularity, enable the composition of the needed I\/O channels with bit precision. They come with varying number of channels, which may be 2, 4, 8, or 16 in total. Many of them are IP 20 protected and are approved by CE and UL. The EL7041 terminals is ideal for medium performance range stepper motors. Depending on the specific stepper motor and application, the EL7041 may be altered for perfect fitting by varying its parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:199\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeckhoff\u003c\/strong\u003e Automation is a German manufacturer of open automation systems, including industrial PCs, I\/O and fieldbus components, drive technology, automation software, and hardware for machine vision.
