3 Order codes
The PDx-113-57/60-SE is currently available with two different stepper motor series (NEMA23 / 57mm flange
size or) with four stepper motors of different length and holding torque each and two interface options:
With NEMA 23 / 57mm flange size motor:
Table 3.1: Order codes (PDx-113-57-SE)
With NEMA 24 / 60mm flange size motor:
Table 3.2: Order codes (PDx-113-60-SE)
The electronic module TMCM-113-57/60-SE itself is also available with two serial interface options:
Table 3.3: Order codes (TMCM-113-57/60-SE)
Serial interface options:
Table 3.4: Options
For cost critical applications and applications with reduced requirements with regard to position feedback
both versions - with and without motor - are also available without sensOstep™ encoder as PDx-113-57/60
and TMCM-113-57/60 on request.
The outer shape of the TMCM-113-57/60-SE controller/driver board has been designed in order to fit to the
back bell of a NEMA 24/60mm flange size motor (60mmx60mm). Consequently, the module is a little bit
larger than the motor when being mounted on a standard NEMA 23/57mm motor (figure 4.3).
There are four mounting holes altogether. They have been designed in order to fit to the latest NEMA
23/57mm [QSH5718] and NEMA 24/60mm [QSH6018] stepper motors available from TRINAMIC. Two mounting
holes at opposite corners of the board have been positioned in order to be able to attach it to the back bell
of the NEMA 23/57mm stepper motors and the other two for mounting it to the NEMA 24/60mm stepper
motors.

4.6 Serial communication interface
The PDx-113-57/60-SE is available with two serial interface options: RS232 for point-to-point communication
and RS485 for bus communication. The two different interface options are assembly options – depending on
the desired interface different components are assembled.
4.6.1 RS232
RS232 can be used for serial point-to-point communication. The PDx-113-57/60-SE-232 includes a transceiver
with level converter for true RS232/V24 signal levels (Figure 4.3).
Figure 4.5: RS232 interface option (transceiver/level shifter IC marked red)
When connecting to a master e.g. PC using the RS232 interface please keep in mind that the RS232 transmit
signal wire of the master has to be connected to the RS232 receive signal wire of the board and vice versa.
Table 4.7: RS232 Connection PC <-> PDx-113-57/60-SE
4.6.2 RS485
RS485 can be used for serial bus communication. The PDx-113-57/60-SE-485 includes a transceiver and a
termination resistor which can be activated for modules placed at one end of the communication bus using
an on-board jumper (Figure 4.4).
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 PDx-11357/60-SE-485 integrates a 120 Ohm termination resistor that can be placed between both RS485 bus
wires by setting a jumper:
Figure 4.8: Bus termination
3. NUMBER OF NODES: The RS-485 electrical interface standard (EIA-485) allows up-to 32 nodes to be
connected to a single bus. The bus transceiver used for the PDx-113-57/60-SE-485 units
(SN65HVD3082ED) has just 1/8 of the standard bus load and allows a maximum of 256 units to be
connected to a single RS485 bus.
4. 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. In
contrast to the termination resistors this network is normally required just once for a bus. Certain
RS485 interface converters available for a PC already include these additional resistors (e.g. USB-2485 [USB-2-485]).
There are 2 general purpose inputs (IN_0 / IN_1). Both inputs offer internal voltage divider and voltage
limiter and accept input voltages between 0 and +24V. The voltage divider resistors act as pull-down
resistors, also. Both inputs accept digital and analogue signals (depending on software configuration).
There are 2 general purpose outputs (OUT_0 / OUT_1). Both outputs are open collector outputs and can drive
loads up-to 100mA. Especially for inductive loads a freewheeling diode to supply voltage (VDD) has been
included. This is also the reason why the external voltage at the general purpose outputs - when the
outputs are switched off - should not be higher than the supply voltage of the module + approx. 0.5V.
The PD-113-57/60-SE is a full mechatronic solution including a 57 or 60 mm flange motor (NEMA23/NEMA24).
It combines a convenient controller electronic and a sensOstep™ encoder with a range of different motor
types and can be controlled via RS-232 or RS485 interface. The chopSync™ feature allows high velocity
operation avoiding resonances. The PD-113-57/60-SE comes with the PC based software development
environment TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic Motion Control Language (TMCL). Using predefined TMCL high level
commands like „move toposition“ or „constant rotation“ a rapid and fast development of motion control
applications is guaranteed. Communication traffic is kept very low since all time critical operations, e.g. ramp
calculation are performed onboard. The stepper driver / controller module is available without the
electronics also as TMCM-113-57/60-SE.
Currently, the standard TMCL firmware is available for both interface options and is supplied as default
firmware. Please refer to the TMCL firmware manual for this unit for more details [TMCL].
The following torque curves have been measured using the PANdrive PDx-113-60-SE with all four stepper
motors available as part of this unit. The four different stepper motors all offer the same max. coil current
but, differ with respect to holding torque, motor length, coil resistance and inductivity – to name a few. As
rule of thumb, more holding torque means more copper, longer or larger motor, more coil resistance and
higher inductivity which limits the max. reachable velocity at the same supply voltage. All measurements
were taken at +24V driver supply voltage and max. motor current.
The figures below include torque curves for microstep operation and full step operation. With full step
mode it is possible to reach higher velocities whereas resonances normally prevent any smooth operation at
lower speeds (see torque curves below). Therefore, TMCL firmware offers programmable automatic switch
over between microstep operation at lower speeds and full-step operation at higher speed in order to take
advantage of both modes (please see TMCL firmware manual, axis parameter 211).
7.1 PD1-113-60-SE
The PD1-113-60-SE is the most compact version of this PANdrive version with the shortest NEMA 24 / 60mm
stepper motor.
For applications where more torque is required than available with the PD3-113-60-SE, the PD4-113-60-SE
might be an option. The PD4-113-60-SE is the version with highest holding torque and the longest stepper
motor available for this PANdrive series.

8 Operational ratings
The operational ratings shown below should be used as design values. In no case should the maximum
values be exceeded during operation.
Table 8.1: General operational ratings of the module
*) Please note: only PDx-113-57/60-SE and TMCM-113-57/60-SE with pcb version 1.2 or newer support specified
max. current over full temperature range. Older / pre-series versions may be limited with regard to
temperature range and / or max. motor current.
**) Test set-up / procedure: PANdrive PD4-113-60-SE mounted to a metal base plate in order to keep stepper
motor temperature within limits for the motor during test (table 4.2) / test inside climate chamber with
approx. 53l volume / no forced air convection during test / test duration at least 30min.
Please note: motor temperature should always be kept below upper limit for the motor - that is, motor /
PANdrive should be mounted to an appropriate metal / cooling plate or frame. Especially, the longer
available stepper motor which are part of the PD4-113-57-SE or PD4-113-60-SE may easily reach 100°C or
above when operated at full current over long time without being mounted to any heat-conducting
structure or forced air convection. In case the TMCM-113-57/60-SE electronic module is mounted close to the
motor as with the PANdrives, the motor might substantially heat up the electronics and limit the maximum
environmental temperature during operation. The unit may be operated at higher environmental
temperatures than specified when the duty cycle of the motor and / or the motor current is reduced or in
case the TMCM-113-57/60-SE electronic module is mounted separately from the motor.
