It provides two channels for stepper motor control, each with its own encoder interface and digital inputs for limit switches. Designed for modular DIN rail installation, the EL7062 connects directly to E-bus systems, offering easy integration into automation environments. Its flexible parameterization enables adaptation to different motor requirements, while an optional ZB8610 fan module increases output current capacity up to 5 A per channel for higher performance. Key Features: Dual-channel motor control: Direct connection for two stepper motors up to 3 A each. Wide voltage range: Operates from 8…48 V DC for mid-power drive applications. Encoder support: Accepts TTL encoders (5 V differential, single-ended, open collector). Microstepping precision: High-resolution microstepping ensures quiet, accurate operation. Integrated inputs: Two digital latch inputs per channel for limit switches. Performance boost option: ZB8610 fan cartridge increases current handling up to 5 A/channel. Compact housing: Only 24 mm wide with DIN rail mounting for space-saving installations. Industrial compliance: Certified for EMC, shock, vibration, and IP20-rated protection. The EL7062 delivers the reliability and precision required for cost-efficient, multi-axis stepper motor control in industrial automation.
