Information About EL7031
The EL7031 is part of Beckhoff’s compact drive technology product family, offering a single-channel stepper motor interface within a 12 mm EtherCAT terminal. Its integrated output stage supports both unipolar and bipolar 2-phase stepper motors, while distributed clock compatibility ensures synchronized motion control across the network. The terminal features travel-distance control, a 25 kHz current regulator, and a maximum step frequency of 8000 full steps per second, enabling versatile positioning tasks. Typical applications include small actuators, light-duty positioning axes, laboratory automation, and embedded motion systems requiring compact, decentralized motor control.
Key Features:
- Integrated stepper motor drive: Directly powers 2-phase stepper motors up to 1.5 A.
- Precision microstepping: 64-fold microstepping for quiet, smooth motor operation.
- Built-in limit switch inputs: Two digital inputs for end-position monitoring.
- Distributed clock support: Enables synchronized motion across EtherCAT networks.
- High current-control frequency: 25 kHz for stable motor performance.
- Compact design: Fits into 12 mm EtherCAT terminal housing with IP20 rating.
- Parameterizable control: Adjustable drive parameters for motor tuning and application needs.
- Robust environmental tolerance: Designed to operate from 0…55 °C with conformity to EMC and vibration standards.
The EL7031 delivers the reliability and precision required for compact stepper motor motion control in EtherCAT-based machines.
