Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF EPP7041-1002 is an EtherCAT P Box designed for direct machine-level automation architectures without requiring a control cabinet. As an integrated motion control module, this device combines a high-performance stepper motor stage with local digital I/O processing capabilities. It enables precise positioning tasks for 2-phase stepper motors while simultaneously handling sensor and actuator signals directly in harsh industrial environments.

Equipped with an EtherCAT P interface for communication and power distribution over a single cable, the EPP7041-1002 integrates seamlessly into distributed automation topologies. Its IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection rating ensures reliable operation under conditions involving dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.

Features

  • Controls one 2-phase stepper motor in uni-polar or bi-polar configurations
  • Integrated digital I/O configuration featuring two digital inputs and one digital 24 V DC output
  • Supports direct connection of a 24 V DC encoder system for closed-loop feedback and travel distance control
  • EtherCAT P communication interface with 2 x M8 sockets, shielded, screw type, P-coded
  • Distributed clocks support for synchronized multi-axis operations
  • Configurable step frequency up to 8000 full steps per second with 64-fold micro stepping
  • Extensive diagnostic LED indicators for phase A and B errors, loss of step, stagnation, power, and enable status

Applications

  • Distributed positioning tasks in factory automation and material handling machinery
  • Packaging lines requiring cabinet-free decentralized drive electronics
  • Assembly systems utilizing small stepper axes with encoder feedback
  • Conveyor and sorting mechanisms needing localized sensor integration and motor control
