1 Features
The TMCM-1276 is a single axis controller/driver module for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors with state of
the art feature set. It has been designed for coil currents up to 3A RMS and 24V DC supply voltage. Three
digital inputs can be configured as home and endstop switches or incremental encoder inputs. With its
high energy efficiency from TRINAMIC’s CoolStep
™
, technology cost for power consumption is kept down.
The TMCL firmware allows for both standalone and direct mode operation.
Main characteristics
• Motion controller & stepper motor driver:
– Hardware motion profile calculation in real-time
– On the fly alteration of motion parameters (e.g. position, velocity, acceleration)
–
High performance microcontroller for overall system control and communication protocol
handling
– 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
– StealthChop™ feature for quiet operation and smooth motion
– DcStep™ feature for load dependent speed control
• Interfaces
– CAN
