8 Functional description
The PD-1021 is a highly integrated mechatronic device which can be controlled via RS485 serial interface.
Communication traffic is kept low since all time critical operations, e.g. ramp calculations are performed
on board. Nominal supply voltage of the unit is 24V DC. The PANdrive is designed for both: direct mode
and standalone operation. Full remote control of device with feedback is possible. The firmware of the
module can be updated via any of the serial interfaces.
Figure 8.1 the main parts of the PD-1021 are shown:
- the microprocessor, which runs the TMCL operating system (connected to TMCL memory),
- the motion controller, which calculates ramps and speed profiles internally by hardware,
- the power driver with stallGuard2 and its energy efficient coolStep feature,
- the MOSFET driver stage,
- the QSH stepper motor, and
- the sensOstep encoder with resolutions of 10bit (1024 steps) per revolution.

The PD-1021 comes with the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic
Motion Control Language (TMCL). Using predefined TMCL high level commands like move to position a
rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed.
Please refer to the PD-1021 Firmware Manual for more information about TMCL commands.
