3.3.2 EPOS4 Modules
The connection of the «EPOS4 EtherCAT Card» can be established via a custom-made motherboard which
defines the actual installation procedure.
Depending on the case of application (with possibly involved strong movements and high dynamic acceler-
ations) and to guarantee failsafe operation, you might wish to consider the use of a PCIe card edge connec-
tor with retainer (Figure 3-6). The retainer will mechanically interlock the inserted extension card in both
horizontal and vertical direction.
