Overview

This hardware manual provides technical specifications and operational instructions for the PD-170-57 PANdrive and the TMCM-170-57 controller module. The PD-170-57 is an integrated mechatronic system combining a 57mm brushless DC motor, an optical encoder (HEDS-5640-A12), and an intelligent motion controller. The system supports a nominal supply voltage of 12V to 48V and a coil current of up to 10A. It features integrated position and velocity regulators, a ramp generator for smooth motion profiles, and multiple communication interfaces including CAN and an option for either RS232 or RS485. The manual details pin configurations, application circuits, mechanical dimensions, and protective monitoring functions for temperature, current, and voltage.

Use Cases

  • Precise positioning systems
  • Decentralized motor electronics
  • Variable velocity drives
  • Industrial servo drive replacement
  • Automated laboratory equipment
