PD1-013 / PD2-013 / PD3-013

Stepper Motor with Integrated Controller

Short Guide (Version 1.00 / January 11, 2006)

Introduction

The PD1-013, PD2-013 and PD3-013 modules are bipolar two-phase stepper motors with an
integrated controller and driver module with a peak coil current of up to 1.5A for each coil. These
modules provide a complete motion control systems. Each PDx-013 module is equipped with a
step/direction interface and an RS485 interface.
The RS485 interface can be used for easy parametrization and for simple motion commands.
Firmware upgrades are also possible through the RS485 interface.
The PD-013 is equipped with an ATmega32 micro controller. A TMC246 chip is used as the stepper
motor driver. Its very low heat dissipation guarantees that the module can operate with no need for
additional cooling. With the PD-013 the sensorless stall detection StallGuard feature can also be used.

Detailed Technical Documentation on TechLibCD-ROM

Detailed technical documentation is available on the TRINAMIC TechLibCD ROM. The CD-ROM
assumed to be associated with driver letter D: you find

PD-013 Manual D:\PANdrives\PD-013-42\PD-013-42_Manual.pdf

Connecting the PD-013 Module

All connections of the module are described in detail in the PD-013 Manual that is available on the
TechLibCD shipped with the module.

Never connect or disconnect the motor from the controller while the module is powered. This
damages or destroys stepper motor drivers and might also damage other parts of the module.

For communication with the PC, the module has to be connected using an RS485 converter and the
cable set shipped with the module.

The module has to be connected to a power supply of a DC voltage within the range of 7V to 28V. Be
sure of the correct polarity before connecting the power supply, as wrong polarity might damage the
module or the power supply. The module is not protected against wrong polarity or too high voltage!

Digital general purpose digital IOs as well as analog IOs can be used optionally to build more
advanced applications. Digital reference switch are available to be processed by the module. To get
started running a motor, these additional IOs might be ignored at first.

Initial Operation

The easiest way to operate the module is to use the Step/Direction interface. Simple motion
commands can also be sent to the module through the RS485 interface. This is described in detail in
the manual.

ESD Sensitive Module

The TMCM-310 module is intended to be integrated as a part of a system with a housing. Running it
without housing, one has to take into account that the module is a ESD (electrostatic discharge)
sensitive unit and one has to avoid ESD voltages above 1000V according to HBM (Human Body
Model, model of electrostatic discharge via human body). The module withstands at least 1000V HBM.

Environmental Protection Hint

Depollute the unit at the end of its life cycle according to existing law.
