2. Product Overview
2.1. Introduction
The IO-iPOS4808 I/O extension board is an auxiliary module allowing rapid evaluation of the
iPOS4808 VX-CAN or iPOS4808 VX-CAT Intelligent Servo Drives.
On the IO-iPOS4808, the iPOS4808 drives are connected directly to J1 connector. The EtherCAT
extension module allows EtherCAT communication through connectors J2 and J3 if the product ID
of the board is iPOS4808 VX-CAT IO.
The IO-iPOS4808 offers the user an easy and direct access to the main signals available on the
iPOS4808 connector like: USB and CAN communication, motor and feedback connections, digital
I/Os and analogue inputs. The IO-iPOS4808 can be used in many ways starting from basic
evaluation purposes up to complete implementation of motion control applications.
