OBSOLETE PRODUCT

The TMCM-170 is a controller / driver module for high performance servo drives based on brushless DC motors. It gives a high resolution like a stepper motor coupled with the high dynamic, high velocity and high reliability of a BLDC drive. A built-in ramp generator allows parameterized smooth positioning, with an external switch in order to provide for an absolute position reference. Its small form factor allows direct mounting on or into a motor-encoder assembly. The TMCM-170 integrates a position regulator and a ramp generator, to allow for velocity modes. The module can be remote controlled via an RS232, RS485 or via a CAN interface (ordering option).

Applications:

* Replacement of servo drive by high reliability / low cost BLDC drive

* Fast and precise positioning

* Smooth very low to very high constant / variable velocity drives

* Very high velocity stability drives

* Extremely compact decentralized motor electronics

* Sine (or block) commutated BLDC motors with encoder and with / without additional hall sensors

* Hall sensor based motors can be operated without encoder

* Motor power from a few watts to 500W

* Motor velocity up to 100,000 RPM (electrical field)

* Incremental encoder (2 channel with option for N-channel) with resolution from 256 to 30000 / motor rotation (opt. per electrical field rotation)

* 12V to 48V nominal motor voltage

* Coil current up to 10A nominal (up to 14A current for short time)
