4 Maximum
positioning
speed
The maximum speed used for positioning ramps. 0. . . 7999774

5 Maximum
acceleration
Maximum acceleration in positioning ramps. Ac-
celeration and deceleration value in velocity
mode.

6 Maximum
current
Motor current used when motor is running. The
maximum value is 255 which means 100% of the
maximum current of the module.
The current can be adjusted in 32 steps:
0. . . 7 79. . . 87 160. . . 167 240. . . 247
8. . . 15 88. . . 95 168. . . 175 248. . . 255

The most important setting, as too high values can
cause motor damage.
0. . . 255 RW
7 Standby
current
The current used when the motor is not running.
The maximum value is 255 which means 100% of
the maximum current of the module. This value
should be as low as possible so that the motor
can cool down when it is not moving. Please see
also parameter 214.
0. . . 255 RW

2.4 Testing with a simple TMCL Program
Now, test the TMCL stand alone mode with a simple TMCL program. To type in, assemble and download
the program, you will need the TMCL creator. This is also a tool that can be found in the tool tree of
the TMCL-IDE. Click the TMCL creator entry to open the TMCL creator. In the TMCL creator, type in the
following little TMCL program:
