PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BECKHOFF EL2535-0103 - EtherCAT Stepper Motor Terminal
This EtherCAT Terminal integrates a 2-phase stepper motor controller with an output stage, designed for precise open-loop or closed-loop positioning applications within industrial automation systems. It facilitates direct control of stepper motors via the EtherCAT network, offering configurable current and microstepping resolutions for smooth motion profiles. The unit is suitable for distributed control architectures requiring synchronized motion.
