Features

The PANdrives™ PD57/60/86-1378 are full mechatronic solutions with state of the art feature set. They are highly integrated and offer convenient handling via CAN interface. Each PD57/60/86-1378 includes a stepper motor, driver electronics, and a fully featured hardware motion controller. It can be used in many decentralized applications and has been designed for 0.55… 7 Nm maximum holding torque and 24V DC or 48V DC nominal supply voltage. With the built-in high resolution magnetic encoder and the advanced ramp geneator chip it is mainly designed for closed-loop operation. With StealthChop™ the PD57/60/86-1378 offers absolutely silent and smooth motor operation for lower and medium velocities. With SpreadCycle™, the PD57/60/86-1378 offers a high performance current controlled chopper mode for highest velocities with perfect zero crossing performance. With StallGuard2™, a sensorless load detection feature is provided for automatic end step detection and load monitoring. StallGuard2™ is also used for the automatic current scaling feature CoolStep™. The PD57/60/86-1378 is equipped with a CAN bus interface and three digital inputs.

TRINAMIC’s Unique Features

stealthChop™

stealthChop is an extremely quiet mode of operation for low and medium velocities. It is based on a voltage mode PWM. During standstill and at low velocities, the motor is absolutely noiseless. Thus, stealthChop operated stepper motor applications are very suitable for indoor or home use. The motor operates absolutely free of vibration at low velocities. With stealthChop, the motor current is applied by driving a certain effective voltage into the coil, using a voltage mode PWM. There are no more configurations required except for the regulation of the PWM voltage to yield the motor target current.

Figure 1: Motor coil sine wave current using stealthChop (measured with current probe)

spreadCycle™

The spreadCycle chopper is a high-precision, hysteresis-based, and simple to use chopper mode, which automatically determines the optimum length for the fast-decay phase. Several parameters are available to optimize the chopper to the application. spreadCycle offers optimal zero crossing performance compared to other current controlled chopper algorithms and thereby allows for highest smoothness. The true target current is powered into the motor coils.

Figure 2: spreadCycle principle

stallGuard2

stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF of the motor coils. It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the motor. The stallGuard2 measurement value changes linearly over a wide range of load, velocity, and current settings. At maximum motor load, the value reaches zero or is near zero. This is the most energy-efficient point of operation for the motor.

Figure 3: stallGuard2 Load Measurement as a Function of Load

coolStep

coolStep is a load-adaptive automatic current scaling based on the load measurement via stallGuard2. coolStep adapts the required current to the load. Energy consumption can be reduced by as much as 75%. coolStep allows substantial energy savings, especially for motors which see varying loads or operate at a high duty cycle. Because a stepper motor application needs to work with a torque reserve of 30% to 50%, even a constant-load application allows significant energy savings because coolStep automatically enables torque reserve when required. Reducing power consumption keeps the system cooler, increases motor life, and allows for cost reduction.

Mechanical and Electrical Interfacing

PD57/60/86-1378 Dimensions

The PD57/60/86-1378 includes the TMCM-1378 stepper motor controller/driver module (electronics + encapsulating enclosure) and a NEMA23 / 57mm flange size, NEMA24 / 60mm flange size or NEMA34 / 86mm flange size bipolar stepper motor. Currently, there is a choice between two NEMA23 / 57mm flange size, three NEMA24 / 60mm flange size and one NEMA34 / 86mm flange size stepper motors with different lengths and different holding torques. The stepper motors are rated for coil currents between 2.8A RMS and 9A RMS – perfectly fitting to the TMCM-1378 electronics.

The dimensions of the controller/driver unit are approx. 60mm x 60mm x 24.5mm (TMCM-1378 electronics + encapsulating enclosure). There are four mounting holes for M3 screws for mounting the PD57/60/86- 1378. These mounting holes are located in the bottom / base plate and accessible after removing the top cover (see 5, right figure, mounting holes marked red). Two of them at opposite positions can be used for mounting the module to the backside of our NEMA23 stepper motors (screw/thread length depends on motor size). The other two can be used for mounting the module to the backside of our NEMA24 stepper motors (screw/thread length depends on motor size).

Figure 5: PD57/60/86-1378 all dimensions in mm

When mounted to the stepper motor the overall size of the PANdrive is the housing height plus motor body size.

Connectors and LEDs

The PD57/60/86-1378 is equipped with three connectors – one eight-pin connector for communication (CAN) and additional I/O (home switch and stop switches as well as one general purpose output), one four pin connector for connecting the motor and one two-pin connector for connecting to the power supply.

  Always keep the power supply voltage below the upper limit of 52V! Otherwise the driver electronics will be seriously damaged. Especially, when the selected operating voltage is near the upper limit a regulated power supply is highly recommended.

Add external power supply capacitors! It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size (e.g. 4700µF/63V) to the power supply lines next to the PD57/60/86-1378!

Rule of thumb for size of electrolytic capacitor:
In addition to power stabilization (buffer) and filtering this added capacitor will also reduce any voltage spikes which might otherwise occur from a combination of high inductance power supply wires and the ceramic capacitors. In addition it will limit slew-rate of power supply voltage at the module. The low ESR of ceramic only filter capacitors may cause stability problems with some switching power supplies.

Tie ENN to GND in order to enable driver stage! Please note that pin 8 of the I/O connector is a driver stage enable input (active low) with an internal pull-up resistor. In order to enable motor driver stage and be able to move the motor using appropriate software commands it is necessary to tie this input to GND.

CAN Connection

For remote control and communication with a host system the PD57/60/86-1378 provides a CAN bus interface. For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up a CAN network:

Bus Structure The network topology should follow a bus structure as closely as possible. That is, the connection between each node and the bus itself should be as short as possible. Basically, it should be short compared to the length of the bus.

Figure 13: CAN bus structure

Bus Termination Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high communication speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The PD57/60/86-1378 does not integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be added externally.

Number of Nodes The bus transceiver used on the PD57/60/86-1378 (TJA1051) supports at least 100 nodes under optimum conditions. Practically achievable number of nodes per CAN bus highly depend on bus length (longer bus → less nodes) and communication speed (higher speed → less nodes).

CAN Bus Adapter s To quickly connect to the PD57/60/86-1378 a PC based integrated development environment TMCL-IDE is available. Latest release can be downloaded for free from our web site: www.trinamic.com A number of common CAN interface adapters from different manufactures is supported from within this software. Please make sure to check our web site from time to time for the latest version of the software!

Motor Connector

Table 9: Motor connector pinning

Do not connect or disconnect motor during operation! Motor cable and motor inductivity might lead to voltage spikes when the motor is connected / disconnected while energized. These voltage spikes might exceed voltage limits of the driver MOSFETs and might permanently damage them. Therefore, always switch off or disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting the motor.

LEDs

The PD57/60/86-1378 includes two LEDs: one green status LED and one red error LED. See figure 14 for LED location.

Figure 14: PD57/60/86-1378 LED colors and location

Depending on the firmware option (TMCL or CANopen), these LEDs have different functionality. Main states for TMCL:
