OBSOLETE PRODUCT

The TMCM-341 is a triple axis stepper motor controller module for external power drivers with SPI interface (e.g., ADI Trinamic TMCM-035). With its very small size it is dedicated to embedded applications, where a compact solution is required. The board can be connected to a baseboard or customized electronics with a pin connector. The TMCM-341 comes with the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE. Using predefined TMCL (ADI Trinamic Motion Control Language) high level commands like “move to position” or “constant rotation” rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed.

The TMCM-341 can be controlled via the 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 applications. Communication traffic is kept very low since all time critical operations, e.g. ramp calculation, are performed on board. The TMCL operations can be stored in the onboard EEPROM for stand- alone operation. The firmware of the module can be updated via the serial interface as well as via the CAN interface.

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 host controlled mode

* Up to 64 times microstepping

* Automatic ramp generation in Hardware

* On the fly alteration of motion parameters (e.g. position, velocity, acceleration)

* High dynamics: full step frequencies up to 90kHz, microstep frequency up to 460kHz

* Supports StallGuardTM option for sensorless motor stall detection

* Can be adapted to any SPI driver type
