1.3 Firmware Update
The software running on the microprocessor of each module consists of two parts, a boot loader and the
CANopen firmware itself. Whereas the boot loader is installed during production and testing at TRINAMIC
and remains untouched throughout the whole lifetime, the CANopen firmware can easily be updated by
the user. The new firmware can be loaded into the module via the firmware update function of the TMCL-
IDE.
TMCM-1140 AND TMCM1160
Connect the USB interface and use the bus-powered mode for a firmware update. Do not connect the
power supply of the module.
TMCM-1180
Update the firmware using the TMCL-IDE. It is not necessary to use a specific interface.
