Description

Direct drive control is integrated directly into the EtherCAT I/O system via the EL7332 motion interface terminal. This compact 12 mm module provides high-performance, two-channel control for small DC brush motors operating at 24 V DC. Capable of delivering up to 1 A continuous current per channel, it features integrated travel distance control and supports performance scaling up to 3.0 A when utilizing the ZB8610 fan cartridge. The device interfaces seamlessly within standard Beckhoff EtherCAT networks, employing Distributed Clocks (DC) for precise microsecond-level synchronization across the control architecture.

Features

  • Dual-channel compact drive technology designed for brushed DC motors and inductive loads.
  • Integrated travel distance control functionality for automated positioning tasks.
  • Supports Distributed Clocks (DC) for highly synchronized system operations.
  • Performance expansion up to 3.0 A per channel via the optional ZB8610 fan cartridge.
  • High-frequency 32 kHz PWM clock rate with 180-degree phase shift to minimize ripple.
  • Direct motor connection with compact housing design and integrated status LEDs.

Applications

  • Small-scale positioning drives and actuators in manufacturing systems.
  • Conveyor systems and material handling sortation lines.
  • Automated assembly and packaging machinery.
  • General mechanical engineering applications requiring compact DC motor control.
