Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF EP7041-0002 EtherCAT Box is a compact industrial automation module designed for direct connection of stepper motors in harsh environments. Featuring an IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection rating, this robust IP-linked module integrates seamlessly into EtherCAT industrial networks, providing high-precision motion control directly on the machine without requiring a control cabinet.

This device combines a stepper motor output stage, a digital 24 V DC output, two digital inputs, and an integrated connection for a 24 V DC encoder system. It supports 2-phase stepper motors in both unipolar and bipolar configurations with an output current of 3.5 A nominal and up to 5.0 A peak current. Integrated travel distance control and support for distributed clocks ensure precise synchronization and positioning tasks in automated manufacturing and handling equipment.

Features

Direct machine-level connection for one 2-phase stepper motor and one digital 24 V DC output
Two digital inputs and dedicated connection interface for a 24 V DC encoder system
Configurable step frequency up to 8000 full steps per second with 64-fold microstepping
Integrated current controller operating at approximately 30 kHz
Distributed clocks support for synchronized multi-axis control operations
Overload- and short-circuit-proof outputs with comprehensive phase error and loss of step diagnostics
Rugged IP65/IP66/IP67 housing rated for harsh industrial environments

Applications

Decentralized positioning and drive tasks in factory automation
Handling and assembly systems requiring cabinet-free motion control
Packaging and labelling machinery
Conveyor and sorting systems with distributed I/O architectures

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the entire industrial control system and power supplies are fully de-energized before beginning mechanical mounting or electrical wiring.
Inspect the module housing, M8 and M12 connectors, and seals for any visible damage or contamination.
Mount the EP7041-0002 securely to a flat machine surface or mounting profile using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes.
Connect the EtherCAT network cables to the M8 bus interface sockets, ensuring proper shielding continuity.
Connect the 24 V DC power supply to the M8 male feed socket and link downstream power if applicable.
Connect the stepper motor, encoder, and digital I/O lines to their respective M12 ports according to system wiring diagrams.
Verify all connections, potential levels, and network configurations before restoring power and commissioning the axis in the control software.
