1 Features
The TMCM-1161 is a single axis controller/driver module for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors with state of
the art feature set. It is highly integrated, offers a convenient handling and can be used in many
decentralized applications. The board can be mounted on the back of NEMA23 (57mm flange size) and
NEMA24 (60mm flange size) stepper motors and has been designed for coil currents up to 2.8A RMS and
24V DC supply voltage. It offers TRINAMICs sensOstep™ encoder. With its high energy efficiency from the
coolStep™ technology cost for power consumption is kept down. The TMCL™ firmware allows for both,
standalone operation and direct mode.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
