1 Features
The PANdrive™ PD42-1270 is a full mechatronic solution with state of the art feature set. It is highly
integrated and offers convenient handling via CAN interface. The PD42-1270 includes a stepper motor,
driver electronics, and a fully featured hardware motion controller. It can be used in many decentralized
applications and has been designed for 0.20...0.47 Nm maximum holding torque and 24V DC nominal
supply voltage. With stealthChop™, the PD42-1270 offers absolutely silent and smooth motor operation
for lower and medium velocities. With spreadCycle™, the PD42-1270 offers a high performance current
controlled chopper mode for highest velocities with perfect zero crossing performance. With stallGuard2™,
a sensorless load detection feature is provided for automatic end step detection and load monitoring.
stallGuard2 is also used for the automatic current scaling feature coolStep™. The PD42-1270 comes with a
CAN bus interface and four (4) digital IOs.
