Information About EL7342
The EL7342 is part of Beckhoff’s compact motion technology terminals, designed to provide direct drive control of DC brush motors within EtherCAT systems. Each of its two channels can deliver up to 3.5 A output current, expandable to 6.5 A with an optional ZB8610 fan cartridge. The terminal integrates encoder feedback for precise positioning and supports travel distance control, enabling accurate motion tasks. With distributed clock support, high-resolution current and speed measurement, and electrical isolation, the EL7342 ensures reliable synchronization and safe operation in demanding automation systems.
Key Features:
-
Dual-Channel Motion Interface: Provides two independent outputs for controlling DC brush motors directly via EtherCAT.
-
High Output Current: Delivers up to 3.5 A per channel, expandable to 6.5 A with ZB8610 fan cartridge for demanding applications.
-
Advanced PWM Control: Operates at 32 kHz PWM with 180° phase shift for efficient and smooth motor operation.
-
High-Resolution Feedback: Offers up to 10-bit current resolution and 16-bit speed resolution for fine motion control.
-
Encoder Integration: Accepts encoder signals (5–24 V DC) with input frequencies up to 400,000 increments/s for precise position feedback.
-
Travel Distance Control: Enables advanced positioning functions directly within the terminal for efficient system integration.
-
Robust Electrical Isolation: Provides 500 V separation between E-bus and field potential for safe operation.
-
Compact Modular Design: Slim polycarbonate housing with DIN rail mounting allows space-saving integration in distributed I/O setups.
The EL7342 delivers the reliability and precision required for decentralized DC motor control and high-performance motion tasks in EtherCAT-based automation systems.
