It combines a NEMA-17 stepper motor with a driver and electronic controller. With Trinamic now part of Maxim Integrated, the PD42-1-1243-IOLINK leverages the flexibility of Maxim Integrated's MAX22513 IO-Link® transceiver to enable seamless configuration of all modes of Trinamic's TMC2130-LA motor driver. As the industry's smallest and lowest-power NEMA-17 PANdrive™ solution, the smart actuator monitors 50 percent more configuration and performance parameters to reduce commissioning times and improve the quality of predictive maintenance data.
The new TMC2130-LA motor controller chipset and MAX22513 IO-Link transceiver solution leverages the benefits of IO-Link's bidirectional universal interface. The PD42-1-1243-IOLINK smart actuator incorporates motion control technology in a plug-and-play solution that is 2.6 times smaller and uses over 50 percent less power than competing solutions. It brings factory intelligence by providing 50 percent more parameters than competitors, helping to improve factory downtime prediction and maximize factory throughput.
The PD42-1-1243-IOLINK smart actuator includes the following chipset:
MAX22513: The MAX22513 IO-Link transceiver is three times smaller than the closest competitive solution, making it the industry's smallest ±1kV/500Ω surge-protected dual-driver IO-Link transceiver (4.2 mm x 2.1 mm WLP package). It features high integration with a DC-DC regulator, protection diodes, auxiliary digital input, I²C or SPI control, an integrated oscillator, and selectable 3.3V or 5V LDO, contributing to high configurability and reduced stock levels. It also offers four times lower power dissipation due to the low 2.0Ω (typical) driver C/Q on-resistance compared to the competing solution.
TMC2130-LA: The TMC2130-LA motor driver offers sensorless stall detection, unlike competing solutions, to signal unwanted mechanical behavior. It provides smooth, precise motion with microstepping up to 256x compared to the industry standard of 16x, resulting in accurate positioning and minimized resonance. Key integrated features include a complete driver stage with low RDS₂ N-channel power MOSFETs configured as full H-bridges to drive the motor windings up to 1.2A RMS at 5-46V, an SPI interface for configuration and diagnostics, and a step-steering interface.
Key Advantages
- Increased productivity: Adjust more device parameters on the fly by providing access to load values and noise reduction parameters using StealthChop™ technology to dynamically optimize actuator performance
- Lower power consumption: The TMC2130-LA's CoolStep™ energy-saving feature, combined with the MAX22513's low RDSon N-channel power MOSFETs, delivers best-in-class power savings compared to other NEMA-17 IO-Link drives on the market
- Small footprint: The PD42-1-1243-IOLINK provides the smallest IO-Link smart actuator by eliminating external limit switches for detecting hard stop conditions, resulting in a solution size of 82 cm³
