Product details
Overview
PD42-2-1670-TMCL from TRINAMIC is a fully integrated smart BLDC motor module with embedded controller, 3-phase MOSFET driver, hall-based encoder (4096 counts/rev), and TMCL firmware. It operates from +10 to +28V DC, delivers 0.125 Nm rated torque at 4000 RPM, and supports field-oriented control (FOC) with space-vector PWM for precise closed-loop servo motion in compact automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the PD42-2-1670-TMCL datasheet, PD42-2-1670-TMCL pinout, PD42-2-1670-TMCL application, or PD42-2-1670-TMCL equivalent, this page provides verified mechanical dimensions (42×42×73 mm), CAN bus interface specs (20–1000 kbit/s), I/O definitions (ENABLE, REF_L/REF_H, IN0/OUT0), and motor electrical parameters (3.47 A RMS rated current, 0.72 Ω line-to-line resistance).
Technical Context
The PD42-2-1670-TMCL integrates an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller executing onboard ramp generation and FOC algorithms, eliminating host-side motion profile computation. Its TMCM-1670 controller core performs real-time current measurement, SVPWM modulation, and hall sensor interpolation for smooth commutation.
It implements a dual-stage power architecture: a DC/DC converter supplies regulated +5V and +3.3V to digital logic and analog circuitry, while the 3-phase pre-driver stage drives external MOSFETs with overcurrent and thermal protection. The module accepts only high-active ENABLE input (≥2 V) and features internal pull-ups on all digital inputs except ENABLE (internal pull-down).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +10 to +28 V DC - Supports wide industrial supply range; requires external 1000 µF buffer capacitor near input terminals. |
| Rated Torque | 0.125 Nm - Delivers consistent holding and dynamic torque at 4000 RPM under 24 V nominal operation. |
| Rated Current (RMS) | 3.47 A - Defines continuous thermal limit; peak current capability is 10.6 A for short-duration acceleration. |
| Line-to-Line Resistance | 0.72 Ω - Determines copper loss and thermal rise; used with current sense for accurate FOC vector alignment. |
| CAN Bit Rate | 20–1000 kbit/s - Enables flexible network timing; requires external 120 Ω termination resistors at bus ends. |
| Encoder Resolution | 4096 counts per rotation - Hall-based interpolation enables high-resolution position feedback without external resolvers or encoders. |

Pinout & Package
PD42-2-1670-TMCL uses a compact 42 mm × 42 mm × 73 mm aluminum housing with two standardized connectors: a 5-pin screw terminal for power/motor (U/V/W/GND/+24V) and an 8-pin JST PHD connector for CAN, GPIO, and reference switches.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Power+Motor Pin 1 | GND | Common ground reference for power supply and motor return path; must be low-impedance connection. |
| Power+Motor Pin 2 | +24V | Main DC input (10–28 V); requires external bulk capacitance to suppress voltage spikes during switching. |
| Power+Motor Pin 3 | W | Phase W winding connection; routed to internal MOSFET H-bridge output stage. |
| Power+Motor Pin 4 | V | Phase V winding connection; electrically isolated from logic ground until enabled via ENABLE signal. |
| Power+Motor Pin 5 | U | Phase U winding connection; completes 3-phase BLDC drive topology with V and W. |
| Interface Pin 1 | GND | Signal ground shared with power ground; ensures stable CAN common-mode voltage and GPIO referencing. |
| Interface Pin 2 | ENABLE | High-active enable input (internal pull-down); must be tied ≥2 V (e.g., +24V) to activate H-bridges and allow motor motion. |
| Interface Pin 3 | CAN_H | Non-inverting differential CAN bus line; connects to external CAN transceiver (TJA1051) for robust noise immunity. |
| Interface Pin 4 | CAN_L | Inverting differential CAN bus line; forms 120 Ω characteristic impedance pair with CAN_H for EMI suppression. |
| Interface Pin 5 | IN0 | Digital input with internal +5 V pull-up; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels; used for homing or safety interlock signals. |
| Interface Pin 6 | OUT0 | Open-drain output (100 mA sink); drives external loads referenced to +5 V; diode-protected against reverse polarity. |
| Interface Pin 7 | REF_L | Left reference switch input with internal +5 V pull-up; detects mechanical end-stop or home position via active-low signal. |
| Interface Pin 8 | REF_H | Right reference switch input with internal +5 V pull-up; complements REF_L for bidirectional positioning or dual-limit detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Hall Encoder | 4096 interpolated counts/rev enables sub-degree position resolution without external sensors or complex calibration. |
| Onboard FOC + SVPWM | Real-time vector control eliminates torque ripple and improves efficiency across speed/torque operating range. |
| Permanent Parameter Storage | EEPROM retains motor tuning, limits, and CAN node ID across power cycles-no reconfiguration required after reboot. |
| Configurable I/O Set | Two reference switches, one GP input, one GP open-drain output provide direct integration into PLC-controlled motion sequences. |
| Thermal & Electrical Protection | Overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage lockout prevent damage during stall, short-circuit, or brownout conditions. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for PD42-2-1670-TMCL?
The PD42-2-1670-TMCL has a rated RMS current of 3.47 A, corresponding to its 0.125 Nm torque rating at 4000 RPM and 24 V supply. Peak current capability is 10.6 A for transient acceleration. Thermal derating applies above +40 °C ambient; free-air cooling is specified, and forced airflow extends current capacity. Operation beyond these limits risks thermal shutdown or permanent damage to the MOSFET driver stage in the PD42-2-1670-TMCL.
Does PD42-2-1670-TMCL support both TMCL and CANopen protocols simultaneously?
No, PD42-2-1670-TMCL ships with TMCL firmware preloaded and does not support runtime switching to CANopen. A separate order code (PD42-2-1670-CANopen) is required for CANopen DS402 compliance. Firmware updates are possible via CAN bus, but only within the same protocol family-TMCL firmware cannot be replaced with CANopen firmware on a PD42-2-1670-TMCL unit without manufacturer reprogramming services.
How is position feedback implemented in PD42-2-1670-TMCL?
PD42-2-1670-TMCL uses an integrated hall sensor array with magnetic interpolation to deliver 4096 counts per motor revolution. This provides high-resolution position data directly to the onboard ARM Cortex-M4 controller for real-time FOC execution-eliminating external encoder wiring, signal conditioning, or quadrature decoding logic. The hall-based encoder is mechanically fixed to the motor rotor and calibrated during manufacturing, ensuring stable performance across temperature and lifetime in the PD42-2-1670-TMCL.
What are the physical mounting requirements for PD42-2-1670-TMCL?
PD42-2-1670-TMCL features a standard 42 mm square flange with M3 mounting holes positioned at 32 mm centers. Total height is 73 mm (excluding shaft extension and connectors). Mounting surfaces must be flat and rigid to avoid mechanical stress on the motor bearings; recommended torque for M3 screws is 0.5–0.7 Nm. The unit is rated for free-air convection cooling only-no heatsink or forced airflow is integrated, so ambient temperature must remain ≤+40 °C for full-rated performance of the PD42-2-1670-TMCL.
Can PD42-2-1670-TMCL operate without a host controller?
Yes, PD42-2-1670-TMCL supports autonomous operation using stored TMCL programs in EEPROM. Commands such as "Move to Position", "Run at Velocity", or "Goto Home" can be triggered via its ENABLE pin or general-purpose input IN0, enabling standalone sequencing without continuous CAN traffic. All motion profiles, acceleration ramps, and current limits are computed onboard-the PD42-2-1670-TMCL does not rely on host CPU resources for real-time control loops.
