The Beckhoff EL7211-0010 Compact Drive Technology terminal is engineered to drive permanent magnet-excited three-phase synchronous motors with high precision. It operates with a power supply of 8–48 V DC and delivers 4.5 A continuous output current, with peak loads of up to 9.0 A for one second. Its integrated current controller runs at 32 kHz, with a PWM frequency of 16 kHz, enabling smooth motor operation and precise torque control. Additional features include absolute feedback support, integrated track control, and One Cable Technology (OCT) for simplified wiring. With encoder feedback inputs and distributed clocks, the terminal achieves highly synchronized motion control for demanding industrial applications. The compact HD housing (24 × 100 × 68 mm, approx. 95 g) is optimized for DIN rail mounting and includes diagnostic LEDs for real-time monitoring.
Durability and safety are built into this Compact Drive terminal. It provides 500 V electrical isolation between the E-bus and field potential, along with CE and UL certifications for global compliance. Designed with IP20 protection, it performs reliably in operating temperatures from 0–55°C and withstands storage down to -25°C. EMC conformity to EN 61000-6-2/6-4 and shock resistance per EN 60068 standards ensure that the EL7211-0010 can operate dependably in demanding environments. Its polycarbonate housing, spring-actuated wiring, and pluggable connections simplify installation and reduce maintenance downtime.
