Features
The PD42-1270 is a single axis controller/driver PANdrive™ for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors with state
of the art feature set. It is highly integrated, offers a convenient handling and can be used in many
decentralized applications. The PANdrive™ has been designed for coil currents up to 1A RMS and 24V
DC supply voltage. Three digital inputs can be configured as home and endstop switches or incremental
encoder inputs. With its high energy efficiency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep™ technology cost for power
consumption is kept down. The TMCL firmware allows for both standalone and direct mode operation.
