Positioning Module EM 253
Description: Positioning Module EM 253
The EM 253 is a functional module (1-axis) for simple positioning tasks. It can be connected to stepper motors and servo motors, linking from Micro Stepper to the servo driver via frequency pulse input.
The EM 253 positioning module is installed in the same manner as the expansion modules, connected to the S7-200 expansion bus via an integrated connection cable.
After connection, the configuration data is automatically read from the CPU.

The module features the following characteristics:
· 5-input for process signals
Driver outputs 24 pulses directly (forward/reverse or speed/direction)
2 Control Output (DIS; CLR).
· 12 Status LEDs
