5.8A EtherCAT closed loop Stepper Drive

closed loop EtherCAT Drive on a 24-48 VDC Bus

The 5.8A EtherCAT closed loop Stepper Drive 2HCS558-EC is a digital-display closed loop stepper drive sized for EtherCAT machines running on a 24-48 VDC bus. At its core is a 32-bit ARM processor executing a power-angle closed loop algorithm that keeps torque available as speed rises. Output current reaches 5.8 A, which covers a practical range of compact stepper motors used in the mid-dynamic segment.

Low-Voltage DC Supply

A 24-48 VDC input keeps the drive compatible with modern control cabinets that already distribute DC power. The wide span also allows the same unit to be reused where a plant standardizes on either 24 V or 48 V rails.

Synchronized EtherCAT Motion

Deterministic Multi-Axis Timing

EtherCAT connects the axis to a deterministic bus, so coordinated multi-axis moves stay in phase. Procedure steps such as homing and in-position reporting are handled through the drive’s I/O, while the network carries only the motion commands.

Stable Torque Under Load

The closed loop algorithm maintains torque where conventional open-loop drives fade, giving indexers and diverters a repeatable position reference across the shift.

On-Unit Configuration

Slave ID, baud rate, and rotation direction are set from the keypad and digital tube display, removing the need to open software for basic commissioning.

Inputs and Outputs

• Supply voltage 24-48 VDC, output current 0-5.8 A
• EtherCAT fieldbus interface
• 5 digital inputs for homing, forward/reverse limit, and probe
• 3 digital outputs for brake, alarm, and in-position signals

Fit in Production

Applications include factory automation, packaging machinery, compact CNC equipment, robotics, automated handling mechanisms, textile machinery, printing machinery, and food processing. The 48 VDC ceiling and EtherCAT timing make this drive a straightforward addition to lower-voltage automated cells.

Distributor Support

Lyenwsin provides this 5.8A EtherCAT closed loop Stepper Drive with bus-voltage matching and motor pairing guidance so the axis runs reliably from day one.
