CL57E-2A Two-Axis Bus Closed-Loop Driver
Product Overview
The CL57E-2A bus-type closed-loop stepper driver is a digital closed-loop stepper driver that combines the latest closed-loop control algorithms with the EtherCAT bus communication protocol. This product supports the CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) protocol and complies with the CIA402 standard. Compared to traditional pulse-type drivers, the bus-type driver features simpler wiring, real-time data transmission, and highly reliable communication, enabling multi-axis synchronous communication control. This series of drivers adopts advanced closed-loop algorithms that effectively suppress motor temperature rise, reduce motor vibration, and significantly improve motor torque.
