10V to 28V, 6A Peak Closed-Loop BLDC Motor Modules with Motion Controller and Driver

Trinamic has introduced a smart BLDC motor module. The smart BLDC motor module integrates a motion controller and a BLDC motor driver. The module is controlled via CAN bus interface and comes with two firmware options-TMCL^TM and CANopen. The PD42-x-1670 line offers an integrated hall sensor-based encoder for closed-loop FOC-based operation. The 10V to 28V motors are rated to 4000rpm. The packages of the three models feature a 1.7" by 1.7" (Flange NEMA 17) faceplate.

Applications for the line of motors include lab-automation, robotics, and factory automation. CNC machine controls allow the motors' to be used in lathes, mills, grinders, and pick-and-place machines.

The PD42-x-1670 is a single axis PANdrive^TM for three-phase BLDC motors boasting a state of the art feature set. The modules include the drives and motors that the company says offers convenient handling and can be used in numerous decentralized applications. Trinamic designed the modules for coil currents up to 6.8A peak at 24Vdc. The motor modules have four digital inputs.

The PANdrive can be controlled via CAN or UART interface using TMCL communication protocol, or it can operate in a standalone mode with a TMCL script.

The three Trinamic Motion Control (TMCL) models are the PD42-1-1670, the PD42-2-1670, and the PD42-3-1670. All three models have both width and height of 42mm Cbut their lengths are 53mm, 73mm, and 93mm respectively. The motors are controlled via the company's Trinamic Motion Control (TMCL) or CANopen protocols.
