ETEL EA‑P2M‑048‑2.5/5A‑0100‑01 AccurET Modular Position Controller

The ETEL EA‑P2M‑048‑2.5/5A‑0100‑01 belongs to the advanced AccurET modular controller series, specifically engineered for space‑constrained multi‑axis motion systems. This compact position controller integrates a powerful servo drive with a 48 V supply and delivers continuous current of 2.5 A (peak 5 A), making it ideal for small to medium‑power linear and rotary motors. Its modular architecture allows scalable system design, reducing wiring complexity and overall cabinet size.

Core Features

• Integrated Drive and Controller: Combines position controller and servo amplifier in one module, eliminating external drive units.

• EtherCAT Connectivity: High‑speed real‑time communication for synchronized multi‑axis operation with minimal jitter.

• Efficient Thermal Design: Optimized heat dissipation allows operation without active cooling in many environments, improving reliability.

• Flexible Motor Support: Compatible with brushless DC, brushless AC, and stepper motors, as well as ETEL's own ironless linear motors.

• Integrated Safety Functions: STO (Safe Torque Off) and SS1 (Safe Stop 1) are built‑in to meet functional safety requirements.
