The PANdrive™ PD-1161 is a full mechatronic solution with state of the art feature set. It is highly
integrated and offers a convenient handling. The PD-1161 includes a stepper motor, controller/driver
electronics, and TRINAMICs sensOstep™ encoder. It can be used in many decentralized applications and
has been designed for 0.55… 3.1Nm max. holding torque and 24V DC nominal supply voltage. With its
high energy efficiency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep technology cost for power consumption is kept down. The
TMCL™ firmware allows for standalone operation and direct mode.

TRINAMICS UNIQUE FEATURES –EASY TO USE WITH TMCL
stallGuard2™ stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF on the
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 goes to zero or
near to zero. This is the most energy-efficient point of operation for the motor.

coolStep™ coolStep is a load-adaptive automatic current scaling based on the load measurement via
stallGuard2 adapting 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 reducing cost.

The PD57-1161 includes the TMCM-1161 stepper motor controller/driver module, the magnetic encoder
based on sensOstep technology and a NEMA23 bipolar stepper motor. Currently, there is a choice
between four NEMA 23/57mm bipolar stepper motors with different lengths and different holding
torques.
