Faqs:
What is the difference between the EO42 and EC42 stepper drivers?
The EO42 is an EtherCAT open-loop driver, while the EC42 is an EtherCAT closed-loop driver. The EO42 uses DIP switch SW6 set to ON for open-loop operation and ships without encoder leads, whereas the EC42 requires additional encoder wiring.
How do I set the peak current on the EO42 driver?
Peak current is set using DIP switches SW1, SW2, and SW3. Various combinations of ON/OFF positions allow selection from 0.4A up to 3.0A, as detailed in the product's switch definition table.
What types of applications is the EO42 driver suitable for?
The EO42 is designed for small to medium automation equipment, including engraving machines, marking machines, cutting machines, laser typesetters, plotters, CNC machine tools, and automatic assembly systems, particularly where low noise and high-speed operation are needed.
What are the wiring requirements for the EtherCAT communication interface?
Use Category 5e 100 Mbps Ethernet cable with dual shielding or higher, keeping the EtherCAT cable length under 100 meters to ensure reliable data transmission.
