Stepnet Plus TEL is a high-performance DC-powered microstepping drive for control of hybrid stepping motors via EtherCAT using the CAN Application protocol for EtherCAT (CoE). Microstepping modes are Profile Position, Interpolated Position Mode (PVT), and Homing. With encoder feedback, the TEL can operate a stepper as a brushless servo motor, enabling Cyclic Sync Position/Velocity/Torque operation. In addition to operating on EtherCAT networks, the TEL supports the following traditional control modes: step/direction, RS-232 ASCII, master encoder for gearing and camming, and digital input commands to initiate predetermined motion sequences.
