Technical Manual PD4-N5918 Overview Closed-Loop current control (sinusoidal commutation via the encoder): In contrast to conventional stepper motor positioning controls where only the motor is actuated or the position adjusted via the encoder, sinusoidal commutation controls the stator magnetic field via the rotary encoder as in a servomotor. The stepper motor acts in this operating mode as nothing more than a high pole servomotor, i.e.

Technical Manual PD4-N5918 Overview Activation via CANopen It is possible to include the stepper motor control in a CANopen environment with the PD4-N. The connection can be established either via 2 wires of the I/O connection cable or in a customer-specific version also via an M12 connector (5-pole). More detailed information on this can be found in the CANopen reference and in the NanoCAN user manual.

Technical Manual PD4-N5918 Connections and circuits Notes on the baud rate It is important to note that both the controller and the CAN master use the same baud rate. Only this way can communication be established. The baud rate has a direct influence on the maximum possible bus length. The following list shows the possible baud rates as well as their maximum permissible bus lengths: Baud rate Bus length...
