About ASD-E3-0421-E Delta Servo Driver 400W
The ASD-E3-0421-E is the 400W EtherCAT version of the Delta ASDA-E3 series. Like the 100W model you just asked about, the "E" suffix means this drive is designed for high-speed industrial networking rather than traditional pulse-train control.
Core Specifications
- Rated Power: 400 W
- Input Voltage: 220V (Single-phase or Three-phase)
- Continuous Current: 2.6 Arms
- Max Instantaneous Current: 10.6 Arms
- Control Interface: EtherCAT (CoE: CANopen over EtherCAT) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Physical Dimensions
This drive follows the same slim profile as the rest of the E3 family, making it ideal for multi-axis mounting.

Key Network Functions
- Synchronised Precision: Supports high-speed synchronization between multiple axes, which is perfect for complex CNC machines or robotic arms.
- CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT): Compatible with standard CIA402 motion profiles, making it easy to integrate with various master controllers.
- Minimal Wiring: Since it uses standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better) for communication, it significantly reduces the wiring complexity compared to the "L" (Pulse) models.
- Touch Probe Capability: Features two dedicated high-speed capture inputs for applications requiring precise timing, like labeling or high-speed sorting. [1]
Quick Comparison: E3-0421-E vs. E3-0421-L
- Hardware: Physically almost identical in size.
- Communication: The "L" model requires many wires for Pulse/Direction; the "E" model uses a single network cable to handle all motion commands.
- Cost: The EtherCAT ("E") version is generally 10-15% more expensive than the Pulse ("L") version.
