Here’s a concise breakdown of the EL7047 EtherCAT Terminal from Beckhoff:

• Functionality: Designed for direct connection of stepper motors in the mid-power range (up to 5 A, 8–48 V DC).

• Control Features: Supports vector control and 64-fold micro-stepping for smooth and precise motor operation.

• Encoder Integration: Comes with an integrated incremental encoder (1,024 inc/rev) for closed-loop control.

• Inputs & Outputs: Includes two digital inputs for limit switches and one output for motor brake.

• Performance Boost: Output current can be increased to 6.5 A with the ZB8610 fan cartridge.

• Software Support: Compatible with TwinCAT 3 Drive Manager 2 for easy commissioning.

• Diagnostics & Indicators: LEDs display status, warnings, and errors for quick troubleshooting.

• Installation & Protection: IP20-rated, operates within 0–55°C, and conforms to EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4 for EMC compliance.
