TRINAMIC's PD42-1270 PANdrive series is designed for fastest application design in cost sensitive environments. With cutting edge current control and industry standard CAN interface with either TMCL or CANopen protocol, it is perfect wherever time to market is crucial.

PD42-1270 is an easy-to-use PANdrive smart stepper motor family. The drives are controlled via a CAN bus interface over TRINAMIC’s easy-to-use TMCL motion control language or industry standard CANopen protocol.

PD42-1270 features stealthChop™ for absolute silent motor control at low speed and spreadCycle™ for high speed stepper motor commutation, a fully integrated hardware motion controller with sixPoint™ motion ramps, as well as stallGuard2™ and coolStep™.

Motors with integrated control systems starkly simplify product design, especially for applications for systems that communicate over CAN, or even standalone drives. The thermally optimized and tested electronics housing allows a compact and cost-effective device design.

Drives with a holding torque of 0.27 Nm to 0.29 Nm are available now. Matching cable kits are also available to help accelerate development. The drives communicate via CAN interface with the free TMCL-IDE.
