Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
Typical applications
What an integrated stepper motor is
An integrated stepper motor combines a hybrid stepper, its drive and often a motion controller in a single housing, sometimes with an encoder for closed-loop operation. The unit connects directly to a DC supply and a command interface, which may be pulse and direction, analogue, Modbus, CANopen or industrial Ethernet. Integration removes the separate drive and motor cable, reducing cabinet space and wiring, and some units can store and run simple motion programs on their own.
When engineers choose an integrated stepper motor
Choose an integrated stepper for compact or distributed machines with many small axes, such as format changeover, laboratory automation and small conveyors. Fewer components simplify assembly and reduce wiring faults. The trade-offs are heat and flexibility: electronics on the motor raise local temperature, and the whole unit is replaced on a fault. For high-power steppers or hot environments, separate drives are usually more practical.
How to specify the Trinamic (Analog Devices) PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK
Send these with your enquiry and an engineer can confirm the right PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK variant or an equivalent:
- Holding torque and torque at speed (Nm, rpm)
- Frame size (NEMA or mm)
- Supply voltage (V DC)
- Control interface and protocol
- Open or closed loop
- I/O count and stored program capability
- IP code and ambient temperature (°C)
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mounting in a hot spot and derating the electronics
- Choosing the wrong protocol variant for the controller
- Ignoring cable routing and connector orientation
- Overlooking supply sizing for many axes at once

Send the full model code, quantity and required date. Our engineers can check original-part availability and assess suitable alternatives, including Motion Control Products options where appropriate. We confirm compatibility and any changes needed before recommending a replacement.
What is the Trinamic (Analog Devices) PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK?
NEMA 17 integrated stepper with an IO-Link (IEC 61131-9) interface on an M12 connector: 0.27 Nm holding torque, 6–28 V, 1.2 A RMS and a 10-bit SensOstep sensor for step-loss detection. Published series figures include voltage 28 V, frame sizes 42 mm, current 1.2 A, holding torque 0.27 Nm. It is made by Analog Devices, Inc.; Specify Motion can help source it or propose an equivalent.
Who makes the Trinamic (Analog Devices) PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK?
The Trinamic (Analog Devices) PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK is made by Trinamic (Analog Devices) (Analog Devices, Inc.) and is listed here for engineers comparing options. Specify Motion is not affiliated with Analog Devices, Inc.; brand names are used only to identify the product.
What is the voltage of the Trinamic (Analog Devices) PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK?
The published series maximum voltage is 28 V. Individual models and sizes in the PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK range vary, so check the exact variant against your duty cycle, mounting and environment, or ask our engineers to confirm the right size for you.
Is there an alternative to the Trinamic (Analog Devices) PANdrive PD-1243-IOLINK?
We can assess suitable replacement options. On published figures, Leadshine iCS Series and Leadshine iEM Series are options to assess from our supply network. An engineer confirms the fit against your application before recommending anything.
What are the benefits of an integrated stepper motor?
An integrated stepper reduces wiring, cabinet space and assembly time because the drive is built into the motor. It also shortens motor cables, which helps EMC. This suits distributed and modular machines with many small axes. The trade-off is that the electronics share the motor environment.
Can an integrated stepper run without a PLC?
Many integrated steppers can store simple motion programs and respond to digital inputs, so they can run standalone for basic tasks such as indexing or speed control. For coordinated multi-axis machines, a PLC or motion controller usually commands them over a fieldbus.
