Stepper motor controller TMCM-301

embeddedRS-232with RS-485 interface

The TMCM-301 is a triple axis stepper motor controller module for external power drivers with SPI interface. With its very small size it is dedicated to embedded applications. The board can be connected to a baseboard or customized electronics with a pin connector. The TMCM-301 comes with the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE for ADI Trinamic's Motion Control Language (TMCL). Using predefined TMCL high level commands like "move to position" or "constant rotation" rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed. The TMCM-301 can be controlled via its serial UART interface (e.g., using a RS-232 or RS-485 level shifter) or via CAN. A user TMCL program can be stored in the on board EEPROM for stand-alone operation. The firmware of the module can be updated via the serial interface. Communication traffic is kept very low since all-time critical operations, e.g., ramp calculation, are performed on board. Applications Controller board for control of up to 3 two-phase bipolar motors using SPI drivers (e.g., TMCM-035 or TMC249) Versatile possibilities of applications in stand-alone or PC-controlled mode Features Electrical Data 5V DC logic power supply Software Stand-alone operation using TMCL or remote controlled operation TMCL program storage: 16 KByte EEPROM (2048 TMCL commands) PC-based application development software TMCL-IDE included Other 68 pin connector carries all signals (2*34 pins, 2mm pitch) RoHS compliant latest from 1 July 2006 Size: 80x50mm² Interface RS-232, RS-485 or CAN 2.0b host interface Inputs for reference and stop switches, general purpose analog and digital I/Os
