6 Functional Description
The TMCM-1311 is a highly integrated single axis closed loop controller / driver module which can be
controlled via USB, RS485, or CAN. Communication traffic is kept low since all time critical operations (e.g.
ramp calculations) are performed on board. The preferred nominal supply voltage of the unit can be
chosen out of 24V, 12V, and 48V DC. The module is designed for both, standalone operation and direct
mode. Full remote control of the device with feedback is possible. The firmware of the module can be
updated via the USB interface.
In Figure 6.1 the main parts of the TMCM-1311 are shown:
- the microprocessor, which runs the TMCL operating system (connected to TMCL memory)
- the power driver with stallGuard2 and its energy efficient coolStep feature
- the MOSFET driver stage
- Encoder interface
- USB, CAN and RS485 transceivers
- On-board switching and linear voltage regulators for supply of on-board digital circuits

The TMCM-1311 comes with the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE for the TRINAMIC
Motion Control Language (TMCL). Using predefined TMCL high level commands like move to position a
rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed.
Please refer to the TMCM-1311 Firmware Manual for more information about TMCL commands.
