Connectors

The PD20-1-1210 offers two connectors including the motor connector which is used for connecting the motor coils to the electronics. The other five pin connector combines power supply input, RS485 2-wire communication interface and one digital input which can be used as general purpose digital input but, also as end or reference switch input for the motion controller.

NOTICE
Start with power supply OFF and do not connect or disconnect motor during operation! Motor cable and motor inductivity might lead to voltage spikes when the motor is (dis)connected while energized. These voltage spikes might exceed voltage limits of the driver MOSFETs and might permanently damage them. Therefore, always switch off / disconnect power supply or at least disable driver stage before connecting / disconnecting motor.

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

On-Board LED

The board offers one LED in order to indicate board status. The function of this LED dependents on the firmware version. With standard TMCL firmware the green LED should be flashing slowly during operation. When there is no valid firmware programmed into the board or during firmware update the green LED will be permanently switched on. During reset to factory default values the green LED will be flashing fast.

Reset to Factory Defaults

It is possible to reset all settings in firmware for the PD20-1-1210 to factory defaults without establishing a working communication connection. This might be helpful in case communication parameters of the preferred interface have been set to unknown values or got lost. For this procedure two pads on the bottom side of the module (electronics) have to be shorted (electrically connected with each other) during power-on.
Please perform the following steps:

1. Switch power supply OFF (and disconnect USB cable if applicable)
2. Short CLK and DIO pads of programming pads on bottom of pcb (see figure 4)
3. Switch power supply ON again (or connect USB again if applicable)
4. Wait until the on-board red and green LEDs start flashing fast (this might take a while)
5. Switch power supply OFF again (and disconnect USB cable if applicable)
6. Remove short between pads
7. After switching power supply ON again (and / or connecting USB cable) all permanent settings have been restored to factory defaults
   

I/Os

The PD20-1-1210 offers one digital input which is part of the power supply input, RS485 serial interface and digital input connector.

Digital input IN0

The PD20-1-1210 offers one digital input IN0 which accept signals between 0 and 30V with voltages above approx. 4.6V recognized as logical ’1’ and below 2V as logical ’0’. This input maybe used either as general purpose digital input IN0, end switch input (connected to motion controller) for left or right stop switch (STOP_L or STOP_R) or as HOME switch input (for initial homing / reference search).

Communication

RS485

For remote control and communication with a host system the PD20-1-1210 provides a two wire RS485 bus interface. For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up an RS485 network:

1. 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.
   

2. 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 PD20-1-1210 does not integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be added externally.

3. NUMBER OF NODES:
   The RS485 electrical interface standard (EIA-485) allows up to 32 nodes to be connected to a single bus.
   The bus transceiver used on the PD20-1-1210 units (SN65HVD3085E) offers a significantly reduced bus load compared to the standard and allows a maximum of 255 units to be connected to a single
   RS485 bus using standard TMCL firmware. Please note: usually it cannot be expected to get reliable communication with the maximum number of nodes connected to one bus and maximum supported communication speed at the same time. Instead, a compromise has to be found between bus cable length, communication speed and number of nodes.

4. COMMUNICATION SPEED:
   The maximum RS485 communication speed supported by the PD20-1-1210 hardware is 1Mbit/s. Factory default is 9600 bit/s. Please see separate PD20-1-1210 TMCL firmware manual for information regarding other possible communication speeds below the upper hardware limit.

5. NO FLOATING BUS LINES:
   Avoid floating bus lines while neither the host/master nor one of the slaves along the bus line is transmitting data (all bus nodes switched to receive mode). Floating bus lines may lead to communication errors. In order to ensure valid signals on the bus it is recommended to use a resistor network connecting both bus lines to well defined logic levels.
   There are actually two options which can be recommended: Add resistor (bias) network on one side of the bus, only (120R termination resistor still at both ends):
   
   Or add resistor network at both ends of the bus (like Profibus™ termination):
   

Motor driver current

The on-board stepper motor driver operates current controlled. The driver current may be programmed in software with 32 effective scaling steps in hardware.

Explanation of different columns in table below:

Motor current setting in software (TMCL)
These are the values for TMCL axis parameter 6 (motor run current) and 7 (motor standby current). They are used to set the run / standby current using the following TMCL commands: SAP 6, 0, // set run current SAP 7, 0, // set standby current (read-out value with GAP instead of SAP. Please see separate PD20-1-1210 firmware manual for further information)

Functional Description

The PD20-1-1210 is a full mechatronic solution including a 20mm flange (NEMA8) bipolar stepper motor and the TMCM-1210 controller / driver electronics.

The PD20-1-1210 can be controlled via RS485 serial interfaces. There is one general purpose digital inputs which can be used, also as STOP_L / STOP_R or HOME switch input (for reference movements, as end switches etc. depending on firmware, mode and configuration). The PD20-1-1210 with TMCL™ firmware option is supported by the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic Motion Control Language (TMCL™). Using predefined TMCL™ high level commands like move to position a rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed. Please refer to the PD20-1-1210 firmware manual for more information about TMCL™ commands.

Communication traffic is kept low since all time critical operations, e.g. ramp calculation are performed on board. Complete stand-alone or full remote control or anything in-between is possible. The firmware of the module can be updated via the serial interface.

The PD20-1-1210 contains the following main components:

• microprocessor, which runs the TMCL operating system (connected to TMCL memory)
• motion controller which calculates ramps and speed profiles internally in hardware
• driver with StallGuard2™ and its energy efficient CoolStep™ feature and StealthChop™ for extremely quiet operation
• hall sensor based encoder which delivers position feedback at low speed (few 100rpm max.) – can be used for reference search .g. after power-up
