8.1 Extensions of the TMCM-1110 stepRocker
The TMCM-1110_V23 stepRocker can be extended for multi-axes systems with up-to 3 axes. The stepRocker
itself can be configured as master or slave. An example for a three axes system is shown below. The
stepRocker at the top is configured as master while the other two are configured as slave. In addition
to jumper setting it is necessary to switch both slave controller to driver-only operation (
SAP 254, 0, 1
-
see TMCL firmware manual, also). Only the motion controller on the master will be used. Therefore, all
motion control related commands have to be issued to the master. In contrast, driver related commands
(e.g. current settings, microstep resolution) have to be issued to each board separately (or stored on each
board as TMCL program).
