1 Features

The PD-110-42 is an intelligent stepper motor controller and driver module mounted directly on a 42mm flange motor. The TMCM-110 module converts the motor into a compact mechatronic device with bus oriented or stand-alone control. The motor, switches, power and the multi purpose I/Os can be connected via small pluggable connectors. The TMCM-110 comes with the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic Motion Control Language (TMCL). Using predefined TMCL high level commands like “move to position” or “constant rotation” a rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed. The TMCM-110 can be controlled via an RS-232, RS-485, I²C or CAN interface (ordering option). Communication traffic is kept very low since all time critical operations, e.g. ramp calculation, are performed onboard. The 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. With the integrated StallGuard to detect motor overload or motor stall.

3.3.3 Connector 3: Additional I/O

All other inputs and outputs of the module can be connected here. These are the limit switches, a general purpose input and a general purpose output. The limit switch inputs are equipped with internal pull-up resistors, so they have to be connected to GND via normally closed switches. The general purpose input can either be used as a digital TTL input or as an analogue input (0..5V). The general purpose output is an open collector output for a maximum current of 100mA. A freewheeling diode is also included so that e.g. a relay or a coil can be connected directly. Please note that the freewheeling diode is connected to the supply voltage and not to +5V, so when using e.g. a relay that is connected to +5V a freewheeling diode must be connected externally. The pin assignment of this connector is as follows:

Figure 5.1: Application Environment

5.1 System Architecture

The TMCM-110 integrates a microcontroller with the TMCL (Trinamic Motion Control Language) operating system. The motion control real-time tasks are realized by the TMC428.

5.1.1 Microcontroller

On this module, the Atmel ATmega32 is used to run the TMCL operating system and to control the TMC428. The CPU has 32Kbyte flash memory and a 1Kbyte EEPROM. The microcontroller runs the TMCL (Trinamic Motion Control Language) operating system which makes it possible to execute TMCL commands that are sent to the module from the host via the interface. The microcontroller interprets the TMCL commands and controls the TMC428 which executes the motion commands. The flash ROM of the microcontroller holds the TMCL operating system and the EEPROM memory of the microcontroller is used to permanently store configuration data. The TMCL operating system can be updated via the host interface. Please use the latest version of the TMCL IDE to do this. As already mentioned above the Trinamic CANnes card or the Trinamic USB2X interface is needed to connect the module with CAN or IIC interface to the PC to update the OS.

5.1.2 EEPROM

To store TMCL programs for stand alone operation the TMCM-110 module is equipped with a 16kByte EEPROM attached to the microcontroller. The EEPROM can store TMCL programs consisting of up to 2048 TMCL commands.

Page 11

TMCM-110-42 Manual 11

5.1.3 TMC428 Motion Controller

The TMC428 is a high-performance stepper motor control IC and can control up to three 2-phase-steppermotors (on this module, only one motor can be used). Motion parameters like speed or acceleration are sent to the TMC428 via SPI by the microcontroller. Calculation of ramps and speed profiles are done internally by hardware based on the target motion parameters.

5.1.4 TMC246 Motor Driver

The stepper motor driver used on the TMCM-110 module is the TMC246 chip. This driver is very dependable, because it provides a variety of protection and diagnostic features, which even can be read out by the user software. Its 16x up to 32x microstepping gives a quiet and precise motor operation. As the power dissipation of the TMC246 chips is very low no heat sink or cooling fan is needed. The temperature of the chips does not get too high easily. The coils will be switched off automatically when the temperature or the current exceeds the limits and automatically switched on again when the values are within the limits again.

5.2 Power Supply

The TMCM-110-42 is equipped with a linear voltage regulator that generates the 5V supply voltage for the digital components of the module from the motor power supply. So only one supply voltage is needed for the module. The power supply voltage can be 12..30 V DC. A higher voltage gives higher motor dynamics. Please note that there is no protection against reverse polarity or too high voltage. When using supply voltages near the upper limit of 34V, a regulated power supply becomes a must. Please ensure, that enough power filtering capacitors are provided in the system (470µF or more recommended per motor), in order to absorb mechanical energy fed back by the motor in stalling conditions.

The power supply should be designed in a way, that it supplies the nominal motor voltage at the desired maximum motor power. In no case shall the supply value exceed the upper / lower voltage limit. To ensure reliable operation of the unit, the power supply has to have a sufficient output capacitor and the supply cables should have a low resistance, so that the chopper operation does not lead to an increased power supply ripple directly at the unit. Power supply ripple due to the chopper operation should be kept at a maximum of a few 100mV. This also is important in order to make the users application compatible to any applicable EMC guidelines.

Therefore we recommend to

a) keep power supply cables as short as possible b) use large diameter for power supply cables c) if the distance to the power supply is large (i.e. more than 2 - 6m), use a robust 470µF or larger

additional filtering capacitor located near to the motor driver unit.

5.3 Communication Interface

The communication between the host and the module takes place via its host interface. This can be either RS232, RS485, IIC or CAN. Please note that the TMCM-110-42 module can only be equipped with one of these interfaces. Communication with the TMCM-110-42 module is done using TMCL commands. The interface the module is equipped with is ready-to-use, so there are no external drivers or level shifters necessary. Please see chapter 3.3.1 for the pin assignments of the interfaces.

Page 12

TMCM-110-42 Manual 12

5.3.1 RS232

To connect the RS232 interface of a PC to the module you can use a extension cable or null modem cable (twisted, with female plugs at both ends). The difference is shown in Table 5.1.

Signal

5.3.2 RS485

For RS485 communication we recommend to use our USB-2-485 converter for fast communication. This converter switches to receive mode right after the last bit has been sent, without any delay. The pause time can be set to 0. Please refer to [TMCL]. It is also equipped with an RS485 termination network. Not using the USB-2-485 a pause time between commands and a termination network may be necessary.

The telegram pause time value is milliseconds ±5%. This time depends on the converter used. Converters controlled by the RTS line need about 15ms, sometimes 25ms An RS485 termination network (1k from RS485+ to +5V, 1k form RS485- to GND, 100R between RS485+ and RS485-) may be necessary for faster communication and longer distances and is recommended in any case.

5.3.3 CAN

To use the TMCL IDE with CAN interface either the Trinamic CANnes card or the Trinamic USB2X interface is needed. Otherwise an additional CAN termination of 120 Ohms between CAN high and CAN low (at both ends of the cable) may be necessary.

5.3.4 IIC

To use the IIC interface with the TMCL IDE the Trinamic USB2X interface is needed.

5.4 Reference Switches

Two digital reference / stop switch inputs are provided (StopL= stop left and StopR = stop right). They are used as an absolute position reference for homing and to set a hardware limit for the motion range. The inputs have internal pullup resistors. Either opto-switches or mechanical switched with normally closed contact can be used. The 5V output can be used as an supply for opto-switches.

Page 13

TMCM-110-42 Manual 13

5.5 StallGuard™ - Sensorless Motor Stall Detection

The integrated StallGuard™ feature gives a simple means to detect mechanical blocking of the motor. This can be used for precise absolute referencing, when no reference switch is available. The load value can be read using a TMCL command or the module can be programmed so that the motor will be stopped automatically when it has been obstructed or the load has been too high. Just activate StallGuard and then let the traveller run against a mechanical obstacle that is placed at the end of the operation area. When the motor has stopped it is definitely at the end of its way, and this point can be used as the reference position. Please see the TMCL Reference and Programming Manual on how to activate the StallGuard feature. The TMCL IDE also has some tools which let you try out and adjust the StallGuard function in an easy way. This is also described in the TMCL Reference and Programming Manual.

Mixed decay should be switched off when StallGuard operational in order to get usable results.

5.6 Motor current setting

The motor current can be set in a range of 0 to 1500, using the TMCL software. 1500 corresponds to the module’s maximum I

setting.

TMCL, the Trinamic Motion Control Language is used to send commands from the host to the TMCM-110 module and to write programs that can be stored in the EEPROM of the module so that the module can execute the TMCL commands in a stand-alone mode.

TMCL is described in a separate documentation, the TMCL Reference and Programming Manual. This document also describes the TMCL Integrated Development Environment (TMCL IDE), a program running on Windows which allows easy development of TMCL applications. All the manuals are provided on the TMC TechLib CD and on the web site of TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG (http://www.trinamic.com). Also the latest versions of the firmware (TMCL operating system) and PC software (TMCL IDE) can be found there.
