EtherCAT 402 Motion Training Kit
The EtherCAT 402 Motion Training Kit is a professional, ready-to-use platform built around a Maxxon EPOS4 drive and EtherCAT interface, fully compliant with the CiA-402 motion control profile. All components are neatly integrated into a robust enclosure, featuring clean wiring, a 24 V supply interface, and breakout connectors for external access.
It is designed for a wide range of use cases, including technical training, motion algorithm development, and application prototyping. Whether used in educational environments, R&D departments, or during customer evaluations, the kit offers plug-and-play readiness, safe low-voltage operation, clear signal accessibility, and full documentation and compliance, enabling users to interact directly with a real drive system in a controlled and practical way.
COMPACT DESIGN
The training kit is housed in a robust, space-saving enclosure measuring 18 cm x 25 cm x 16 cm, ideal for desks or lab benches. All components are professionally mounted and internally wired, ensuring a clean and portable setup without compromising accessibility or functionality.
TEACHING
Ideal for classroom and workshop settings, the kit enables structured demonstrations of CiA-402 state machines, drive control principles, and real-world EtherCAT communication. Trainers can rely on a stable, hands-on platform to explain complex motion control concepts with clarity.
LEARNING
Engineers and students alike gain practical experience through direct interaction with a live EtherCAT drive. The kit allows learners to explore control states, tune parameters, and monitor system behavior in a safe, tangible environment that reinforces theoretical knowledge.
MOTION ALGORITHMS
Develop and test custom motion algorithms in a small-scale and safe setup. The kit offers access to all relevant signals via breakout terminals, making it easy to prototype position, velocity, or torque control logic using industry-standard protocols.
SAFETY
Designed for low-voltage 24 V operation and equipped with a low-torque drive, the system is safe for use in classrooms, development labs, and offices. All connections are clearly labeled and exposed only at breakout terminals to minimize electrical risk.
CONFORMITY READY
The kit comes with full documentation and a declaration of conformity, making it easy to deploy in regulated environments such as corporate training departments, academic institutions, and certified test labs.
HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS
Built with industrial-grade parts, the kit includes reliable connectors, robust wiring, and a durable enclosure. It reflects the standards expected in real-world engineering environments, ensuring long-term reliability and professional performance.
EXPANDABLE
The internal DIN rail provides reserved space for adding additional EtherCAT slaves, such as I/O terminals or other modules, enabling system expansion for more complex motion and signal applications.
PROOF OF CONCEPTS
An efficient platform for developing and validating motion control concepts using real EtherCAT hardware, ideal for early-stage testing and customer demonstrations.
