The TMCM-3212 is a triple axis stepper motor controller/driver module for sensorless load dependent current control. The device is powered by ADI Trinamic StallGuard2™, CoolStep™, SpreadCycle™, StealthChop™ and DcStep™ technology and has a SixPoint™ ramp generator. The TMCM-3212 is capable of driving up to 4.2A of current from each output (with proper heatsinking). It is designed for an operating voltage of 17 to 53V. The device provides a RS485, CAN, USB and 3 encoder interfaces. An integrated protocol processor supplies a high level TMCL/ CANopen communication.
All you need to get started is a power supply and ADI Trinamic's free and easy to use TMCL-IDE. This graphical user interface allows quick setup and supports the use of commands in direct mode, monitors real-time behavior visualized in graphs, and logs and stores data.
