Part details & applications

The PD57-1160 and PD60-1160 PANdrive familly is a full mechatronic solution including a high torque stepper motor and a motion controller/driver using the new outstanding CoolStep technology for sensorless load dependent current control. This allows the first time an energy efficient operation of an open-loop stepper motor system. With the advanced StallGuard2 feature the load of the motor can be detected with high resolution.

All you need to get started is a power supply and ADI Trinamic's free and easy to use TMCL-IDE. This graphical user interface allows quick setup and supports the use of commands in direct mode, monitors real-time behavior visualized in graphs, and logs and stores data.
