PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 5 TRINAMICS UNIQUE FEATURES – EASY TO USE WITH TMCL stallGuard2™ stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF on the coils. It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the motor. The stallGuard2 measurement value changes linearly over a wide range of load, velocity, and current settings. At maximum motor load, the value goes to zero or near to zero.

PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 19 In the example above, the interrupt numbers are used directly. To make the program better readable use the provided include file Interrupts.inc. This file defines symbolic constants for all interrupt numbers which can be used in all interrupt commands. The beginning of the program above then looks like the following: #include Interrupts.
PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 20 3.5 The ASCII Interface There is also an ASCII interface that can be used to communicate with the module and to send some commands as text strings. THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS CAN BE USED IN ASCII MODE: ROL, ROR, MST, MVP, SAP, GAP, STAP, RSAP, SGP, GGP, STGP, RSGP, RFS, SIO, GIO, SCO, GCO, CCO, UF0, UF1, UF2, UF3, UF4, UF5, UF6, and UF7.

PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 69 4.1 stallGuard2 The module is equipped with TMC262 motor driver chip. The TMC262 features load measurement that can be used for stall detection. stallGuard2 delivers a sensorless load measurement of the motor as well as a stall detection signal. The measured value changes linear with the load on the motor in a wide range of load, velocity and current settings. At maximum motor load the stallGuard2 value goes to zero.
PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) COOLSTEP RELATED 70 AXIS PARAMETERS smartEnergy is an earlier name for coolStep. Number I6 I7 I168 I169 I171 I183 Axis parameter Description The maximum value is 255. This value means 100% of the maximum current of the module. The current adjustment is within the range 0… 255 and can be adjusted in 32 steps (0… Absolute max. current (CS / 255 divided by eight; e.g. step 0 = 0… 7, step 1 = 8… 15 and so Current Scale) on).

PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 73 5.3 Bank 2 Bank 2 contains general purpose 32 bit variables for the use in TMCL applications. They are located in RAM and the first 56 variables can be stored permanently in EEPROM, also. After booting, their values are automatically restored to the RAM. Up to 256 user variables are available.
PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 74 6 Hints and Tips This chapter gives some hints and tips on using the functionality of TMCL, for example how to use and parameterize the built-in reference point search algorithm. 6.1 Reference Search The built-in reference search features switching point calibration and support of one or two reference switches. The internal operation is based on a state machine that can be started, stopped and monitored (instruction RFS, no. 13).

PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 77 6.2 Using the RS485 Interface With most RS485 converters that can be attached to the COM port of a PC the data direction is controlled by the RTS pin of the COM port. Please note that this will only work with Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows NT4, not with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME (due to a bug in these operating systems). Another problem is that Windows 2000/XP/NT4 switches the direction back to receive too late.
PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 78 7 TMCL Programming Techniques and Structure 7.1 Initialization The first task in a TMCL program (like in other programs also) is to initialize all parameters where different values than the default values are necessary. For this purpose, SAP and SGP commands are used. 7.2 Main Loop Embedded systems normally use a main loop that runs infinitely. This is also the case in a TMCL application that is running stand alone.
PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 79 Just have a look at the file TMCLParam.tmc provided with the TMCL-IDE. It contains symbolic constants that define all important parameter numbers. Using constants for other values makes it easier to change them when they are used more than once in a program. You can change the definition of the constant and do not have to change all occurrences of it in your program. 7.
PD-1141 TMCL Firmware V1.19 Manual (Rev. 1.01 / 2012-JUL-27) 80 7.6 Mixing Direct Mode and Standalone Mode Direct mode and standalone mode can also be mixed. When a TMCL program is being executed in standalone mode, direct mode commands are also processed (and they do not disturb the flow of the program running in standalone mode). So, it is also possible to query e.g. the actual position of the motor in direct mode while a TMCL program is running.
