Features
The PD-170-57 is a combination of an intelligent BLDC servo motor controller / driver, an optical
encoder and a 57mm brushless DC motor. As a controller/driver module the TMCM-170 has been
designed for high performance servo drives based on brushless DC motors. It combines the high
resolution known from stepper motors with the high dynamic, high velocity and high reliability of a
BLDC drive. A build-in ramp generator allows parameterized smooth positioning. Its small form factor
allows direct mounting on / into a motor-encoder assembly. The TMCM-170 supports BLDC motors
with nearly any number of poles and incremental encoders with nearly any resolution. The TMCM-170
integrates a position and a velocity regulator.
The module can be remote controlled via an RS232 or RS485 interface (ordering options) and CAN
interface.
