ECAT-2094P

Introduction

The ECAT-2094P pulse output module is a cost-effective, four-in-one pulse output module. The ECAT-2094P simultaneously controls up to four pulse type motor drivers.

The ECAT-2094P is a standard EtherCAT SubDevice and an EtherCAT MDevice is required to operate the device. The ECAT-2094P supports two operation modes: Free-Run and Distributed Clock (DC).

Pulse type motor drivers can be directly connected to the ECAT-2094P device. The device is designed to operate a pulse-type drive with pulse output. Configuration has to be done by the EtherCAT MDevice and the application program.

The ECAT-2094P has four integrated incremental encoder interfaces. Four 32 bit high frequency encoder counter counts the input signal of external incremental encoders. The encoder can for example be used for homing purposes and for consistency checks.

For each motor three digital input channels are provided: A Left and right hardware limit switch and a home switch.The hardware limit switch which automatically stops the motor when activated, and all three digital inputs can be used for home position search.
