For implementation of the «EPOS4 EtherCAT Card», a PCIe 2x18 position connector is required.
EPOS4 modules are available with two different types of socket headers.
• EPOS4 Module 24/1.5 (536630) and EPOS4 Module 50/5 (534130) feature 1.27 mm box head-
ers.
• EPOS4 Module 50/8 (504384) and EPOS4 Module 50/15 (504383) have pin headers that permit
two ways of mounting. They can either be plugged in a socket header or be directly soldered to a
printed circuit board.
