IDE Improvements
For more details, please see the attached release note.
The AKT2G-BRC-000-000 EtherCAT Terminal contains high-performance capacitors for stabilizing supply voltages. The AKT2G-BRC-000-000 can be used in conjunction with the AKT2G-SM-L15-000 or AKT2G-SM-L50-000 stepper motor drive terminals.
The AKT2G-SM-L50-000 EtherCAT Terminal is intended for the direct connection of stepper Motors in the mid power range up to 5 A and a voltage range from 8-50 V. The compact stepper motor output stage is incorporated in the EtherCAT Terminal together with two digital inputs for limit switches.
The AKT2G-SM-L15-000 EtherCAT Terminal is intended for the direct connection of stepper motors in the low power range up to 1.5 A and a voltage of 24 V. The compact stepper motor output stage is incorporated in the EtherCAT Terminal together with two digital inputs for limit switches.
The AKT2G-AC-FAN-001 fan cartridge is used for forced ventilation within the terminal housing and ensures better heat dissipation from the housing. It extends the thermal operating range of EtherCAT Terminals and offers a wide range of new application options.
