Tool free connections for power terminations 

 

Inputs and outputs via RJ45-CAT5 plug  

 

Operation mode with simple DIP switch setting 

 

User adjustable current limit and ramp function 

 

Wide range supply voltage b9 and +70 VDC for different kinds of DC-power 
supplies 

 

Protected against overtemperature and over-current 

 

MOSFet-technology, efficiency 97% 

 

Continuous current up to 9 / 18 A (model dependent) 

Basic drive description: The EA4709 / EA4718 servo amplifiers are designed to drive DC 
brushless type motors. They require a single DC power supply for operation. The drives 
are to be used with a single motor. They have the functionality to operate as an 
independent speed control or high performance servo. The drives are protected against 
short circuits, under voltage, over temperature, and over current. It has multiple modes of 
operation and serves as a reliable choice for your motion control needs. 

4–Q PWM Servo – 09 / 18 A
