1 Features
The TMCM-1160 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 module can be mounted on the back of NEMA 23 (57mm flange size) or
NEMA 24 (60mm flange size) stepper motors and has been designed for coil currents up to 2.8 A RMS and
12, 24 or 48 V DC supply voltage. With its high energy efficiency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep™ technology
cost for power consumption is kept down. The TMCL™ firmware allows for both, standalone operation
and direct mode.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Motion controller
- Motion profile calculation in real-time
- On the fly alteration of motor parameters (e.g. position, velocity, acceleration)
- High performance microcontroller for overall system control and serial communication protocol
handling
Bipolar stepper motor driver
- Up to 256 microsteps per full step
- High-efficient operation, low power dissipation
- Dynamic current control
- Integrated protection
- stallGuard2 feature for stall detection
- coolStep feature for reduced power consumption and heat dissipation
Encoder
- sensOstep magnetic encoder (1024 increments per rotation) e.g. for step-loss detection under all
operating conditions and positioning supervision
- Interface for connection of external incremental a/b/n encoder
Interfaces
- RS485 interface
- CAN (2.0B up to 1Mbit/s) interface
- USB full speed (12Mbit/s) interface
- Step/Direction interface (optically isolated)
- 3 inputs for stop switches and home switch (+24V compatible) with programmable pull-up
- 2 general purpose inputs (+24V compatible) and 2 general purpose outputs (open collector)
- Incremental a/b/n encoder interface (TTL and open-collector signals supported directly)
Safety features
- Shutdown input – driver will be disabled in hardware as long as this pin is left open or shorted to
ground
- Separate supply voltage inputs for driver and digital logic – driver supply voltage may be switched
off externally while supply for digital logic and therefore digital logic remains active
Software
- TMCL: standalone operation or remote controlled operation,
program memory (non volatile) for up to 2048 TMCL commands, and
PC-based application development software TMCL-IDE available for free.
- Ready for CANopen
Electrical and mechanical data
- Supply voltage: common supply voltages +12 V DC / +24 V DC / +48 V DC supported (+9 V… +51 V DC)
- Motor current: up to 2.8 A RMS (programmable)
