Product Description:

The EL7031 features one channel which simplifies single-axis control. This unit operates at 24 V DC which aligns with common industrial power supplies. It provides 2.8 A peak and switchable 1.1 A or 0.5 A RMS output current, accommodating both high-torque bursts and energy-efficient continuous drive. This module comes from a global top company Beckhoff and joins the EL EtherCAT Terminals range which guarantees native EtherCAT compatibility.

The working temperature spans 0 °C to +55 °C that allows stable performance in standard factory conditions. It also uses EtherCAT connection technology for delivering fast-paced exchange of information. The component achieves 256-fold micro stepping just to ensure ultra-smooth motor movement. It also offers comprehensive diagnostics and parameterization features in order to allow rapid fault detection and tuning. These terminal variant drives 2-phase stepper motors which suit a wide range of precision commercial applications. Its 12 mm width saves cabinet space and facilitates high-density mounting. Its 100 mm height aligns with other terminals ensures uniform rack installation.

The EL7031 runs at a depth of 68 mm, balancing compactness and thermal management. Additionally, it holds CE and UL conformance to meet international safety standards. The module integrates two end-position inputs and hence support direct limit-switch monitoring. It configures step frequency up to 8000 full steps/s which allows fine tuning of motion profiles. This advanced EtherCAT interface uses two analog inputs (0–10 V/12 bit) which permit direct setpoint control. It further runs its current controller at approximately 25 kHz and reduces torque ripple for precise positioning. It offers a compact drive solution that pairs density with dynamic performance.
