2.2 Position Controller / Main Control

Motor parameters, e.g. acceleration, velocity and position parameters are passed to the main control block via the LIN interface. These information are stored internally in RAM or OTP memory and are accessable by the position controller. This block takes over all time critical tasks to drive a stepper motor to the desired position under abiding the desired motion parameters. The main controller gets feedback from the stepper motor driver block and is able to arrange internal actions in case of possible problems. Diagnostics information about problems and errors are transferred to the LIN interface block.

2.3 Stepper Motor Driver

Two H-bridges are employed to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor. The internal transistors can reach an output current of up to 800 mA. The PWM principle is used to force the given current through the coils. The regulation loop performs a comparison between the sensed output current and the internal reference. The PW M signals to drive the power transistors are derived from the output of the current comparator.

2.4 LIN Interface

Communication between a host and the TMC211 takes places via the bi-directional LIN interface. Motion Instructions and diagnostic information are provided to or from the Main Control block. It is possible to connect up to 128 devices on the same bus. Slave addresses are programmable via OTP memory or external pins. The LIN interface implements the MAC and LLC layers according to the OSI reference model.

2.5 Miscellaneous

Besides the main blocks the TMC211 contains the following:

• an internal charge pump is used to drive the high side transistors.

• an internal oscillator running at 4 MHz +/- 10% to clock the LIN protocol handler, the positioning

unit, and the main control block

• internal voltage reference for precise referencing

• a 5 Volts voltage regulator to supply the digital logic

• protection block featuring Thermal Shutdown, Power-On-Reset, etc.

5 Functional Description

5.1 Position Controller and Main Controller

5.1.1 Stepping Modes

The TMC211 supports up to 16 micro steps per full step, which leads to smooth and low torque ripple motion of the stepping motor. Four stepping modes (micro step resolutions) are selectable by the user: See also 5.3 Stepper Motor Driver on page 21.

• Half step Mode

• 1/4 Micro stepping

• 1/8 Micro stepping

• 1/16 Micro stepping

5.1.2 Velocity Ramp

A common velocity ramp where a motor drives to a desired position is shown in the figure below. The motion consists of an acceleration phase, a phase of constant speed and a final deceleration phase. Both the acceleration and the deceleration are symmetrical. The acceleration factor can be chosen from a table with 16 entries. (Table 5: Acc Parameter on page 11). A typical motion begins with a start velocity Vmin. During acceleration phase the velocity is increased until Vmax is reached. After acceleration phase the motion is continued with velocity Vmax until the velocity has to be decreased in order to stop at the desired target position. Both velocity parameters Vmin and Vmax are programmable, whereas Vmin is a programmable ratio of Vmax (see Table 3: Vmax Parameter on page 10 and Table 4: Vmin on page 11). The user has to take into account that Vmin is not allowed to change while a motion is ongoing. Vmax is only allowed to change under special circumstances. (See

5.1.4 Vmax Parameter on page 10).

The peak current value to be fed to each coil of the stepper-motor is selectable from a table with 16 possible values. It has to be distinguished between the run current Irun and the hold current Ihold. Irun is fed through the stepper motor coils while a motion is performed, whereas Ihold is the current to hold the stepper motor before or after a motion. More details about Irun and Ihold can be found in 5.3.1 and

5.3.2.

Velocity resp. acceleration parameters are accessable via the LIN interface. These parameters are written via the SetMotorParam command (See Page 42) and read via the GetFullStatus command (See Page 36).

In Figure 5 the motor crosses zero velocity with a linear shape. The velocity can be less than the programmed Vmin value during zero crossing. Linear zero crossing provides very low torque ripple to the stepper motor during crossing.

Table 3: Vmax Parameter

Under special circumstances it is possible to change the Vmax parameters while a motion is ongoing. All 16 entries for the Vmax parameter are divided into four groups A, B, C and D. W hen changing Vmax during a motion take care that the new Vmax value is within the same group. Background: The TMC211 uses an internal pre-divider for positioning calculations. Within one group the pre-divider is equal. When changing Vmax between different groups during a motion, correct positioning is not ensured anymore.

TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005) 11

5.1.5 Vmin Parameter

The minimum velocity parameter is a programmable ratio between 1/32 and 15/32 of Vmax. It is also possible to set Vmin to the same velocity as Vmax by setting Vmin index to zero. The table below shows the possible rounded values.

Target positions can be programmed via LIN interface by using the SetPosition command (see

6.11.11). The actual motor position can be read by the GetActualPos command (see 6.11.1).

5.1.8 Secure Position

In case of emergency (communication loss) or GotoSecurePosition command (6.11.5) the motor drives to the secure position. The secure position is programmable by the user. Secure position is coded with 11 bits, therefore the resolution is lower than for normal positioning commands, as shown in the following table.

Stepping Mode Secure Position Resolution

Half-stepping 4 half steps 1/4 micro stepping 8 micro steps (1/4th) 1/8 micro stepping 16 micro steps (1/8th)

1/16 micro stepping 32 micro steps (1/16th)

Table 7: Secure Position Resolution

5.1.9 External Switch

Pin SWI will alternately attempt to source and sink current in/from the external switch (Figure 1: TMC211 Typical Application on page 7). This is to check whether the external switch is open or closed, resp. if the pin is connected to ground or Vbat. The status of the switch can be read by using the GetFullStatus or the GetActualPos command. As long as the switch is open, the <ESW> flag is set to zero.

5.1.10 Motor Shutdown Management

The TMC211 is set into motor shutdown mode as soon as one of the following conditions occur:

• The chip temperature rises above the thermal shutdown threshold T

. See 5.1.13 Temperature

tsd

Management on Page 15

• The battery voltage drops below UV2 See 5.1.14 Battery Voltage Management on Page 16.

• An electrical problem occurred, e.g. short circuit, open circuit, etc. In case of such a problem flag

<ElDef> is set to one.

• Chargepump failure, indicated by <CPFail> flag set to one.

During motor shutdown the following actions are performed by the main controller:

• H-bridges are set into high impedance mode

• The target position register TagPos is loaded with the contents of the actual position register

ActPos.

The LIN interface remains active during motor shutdown. To leave the motor shutdown state the following conditions must be true:

• Conditions which led to a motor shutdown are not active anymore

• A GetFullStatus command is performed via LIN interface.

Leaving the motor shutdown state initiates the following

• H-bridges in Ihold mode

• Clock for the motor control digital circuitry is enabled

• The charge pump is active again

Now the TMC211 is ready to execute any positioning command.

IMPORTANT NOTE: First, a GetFullStatus command has to be executed after power-on to activate the TMC211.

14 TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005)

5.1.11 Reference Search / Position initialization

A stepper motor does not provide information about the actual position of the motor. Therefore it is recommended to perform a reference drive after power-up or if a motor shutdown happened in case of a problem. The RunInit command initiates the reference search. The RunInit command consists of a Vmin and a Vmax parameter and also position information about the end of first and second motion. (6.11.9 RunInit).

A reference drive consists of two motions (Figure 6: RunInit): The first motion is to drive the motor into a stall position or a reference switch. The first motion is performed under compliance of the selected Vmax and Vmin parameter and the acceleration parameter specified in the RAM. The second motion has got a rectangular shape without an acceleration phase and is to drive the motor out of the stall position or slowly towards the stall position again to compensate for the bouncing of the faster first motion to stop as close to the stall position as possible. The maximum velocity of the second motion equals to Vmin. After the second motion the actual position register is set to zero. Finally, the secure position will be traveled to if it is enabled (different from the most negative decimal value of –1024).

Once the RunInit command is started it can not be interrupted by any other command except a condition occurs which leads to a motor shutdown (See 5.1.10 Motor Shutdown Management) or a HardStop command is received. Furthermore the master has to ensure that the target position of the first motion is not equal to the actual position of the stepper motor and that the target positions of the first and the second motion are not equal. This is very important otherwise the circuit goes into a deadlock state. Once the circuit finds itself in a deadlock state only a HardStop command followed by a GetFullStatus command will cause the circuit to leave the deadlock state.

5.1.12 Sleep Mode

When entering Sleep mode, the stepper-motor is driven to the secure position if the secure position is enabled (SecPos[10:0] different from the most negative decimal value of –1024). Then the circuit is completely powered down, apart from the LIN receiver which remains active to detect a dominant state on the bus. In case sleep mode is entered while a motion is ongoing, a transition will occur towards secure position as described above.

The Sleep mode can be entered in the following cases:

• The circuit receives a LIN frame with identifier 0x3C and first data byte containing 0x00, as

required by LIN specification rev. 1.3.

• The LIN bus remains inactive or is lost during more than 25000 LIN bit times (1.30s at 19.2 kbit/s).

The circuit will return to normal mode once a valid LIN frame is received while in the Sleep mode (this valid frame can be addressed to another slave). For more information refer to 6.11.15 Sleep Mode on page 45.

5.1.15 Internal handling of commands and flags

Due to the sleep mode, the internal handling of commands and flags differs. Commands are handled with different priorities depending on the current state and the current status of internal flags, see figure below. Details can be found in Table 8: Priority Encoder.

Note: A HardStop command is sent by the master or triggered internally in case of an electrical defect or over temperature.

A description of the available commands can be found in 6.11 Command Description. A list of the internal flags can be found in 5.2.2 Status Flags.

As an example: When the circuit drives the motor to its programmed target position, state “GotoPos” is entered. There are three events which can cause to leave this state: HardStop command received, SoftStop command received or target position reached. If all three events occur at the same time the HardStop command is executed since it has the highest priority. The Motion finished event (target position reached) has the lowest priority and thus will only cause transition to “Stopped” state when both other events do not occur.

Notes:

1 Leaving Sleep state is equivalent to Power on reset. 2 After Power on reset, the Shutdown state is entered. The Shutdown state can only be left after a GetStatus or a

GetFullStatus command (so that the Master could read the <VddReset> flag).

3 A RunInit sequence runs with a separate set of RAM registers. The parameters which are not specified in a RunInit

command are loaded with the values stored in RAM at the moment the RunInit sequence starts. AccShape is forced to ‘1’ during second motion even if a ResetToDefault command is issued during a RunInit sequence, in which case AccShape at ‘0’ will be taken into account after the RunInit sequence.

TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005) 19

4 The <Sleep> flag is set to ‘1’ when a LIN timeout or a Sleep command occurs. It is reset by the next LIN command

(<Sleep> is cancelled if not activated yet). 5 Shutdown state can be left only when <TSD> and <HS> flags are reset. 6 Flags can be reset only after the master could read them via a GetStatus or GetFullStatus command, and

provided the physical conditions allow for it (normal temperature, correct battery voltage and no electrical or charge

pump defect). 7 A SetMotorParam command sent while a motion is ongoing (state GotoPos) should not attempt to modify Acc and

Vmin values. This can be done during a RunInit sequence since this motion uses its own parameters, the new

parameters will be taken into account at the next SetPosition or SetPositionShort command. 8

Some transitions like GotoPos → Sleep are actually done via several states: GotoPos → SoftStop → Stopped →

Sleep (see diagram below). 9 Two transitions are possible from state Stopped when <Sleep> = ‘1’:

10 <SecEn> = ‘1’ when register SecPos is loaded with a value different from the most negative value (i.e. different from

11 <Stop> flag allows to distinguish whether state Stopped was entered after HardStop/SoftStop or not. <Stop> is set

12 Command for dynamic assignment of IDs is decoded in all states except Sleep and has not effect on the current state 13

14 If <StepLoss> is active, then SetPosition, SetPositionShort and GotoSecurePosition commands are

1) Transition to state Sleep if (<SecEn> = ‘0’) or ((<SecEn> = ‘1’) and (ActPos = SecPos)) or <Stop> = ‘1’

2) Otherwise transition to state GotoPos, with TagPos = SecPos

0x400 = “100 0000 0000”)

to ‘1’ when leaving state HardStop or SoftStop and is reset during first clock edge occurring in state Stopped.

While in state Stopped, if ActPos ≠ TagPos there is a transition to state GotoPos. This transition has the lowest

priority, meaning that <Sleep>, <Stop>, <TSD>, etc. are first evaluated for possible transitions.

ignored (they will not modify TagPos register whatever the state), and motion to secure position is forbidden after a

Sleep command or a LIN timeout (the circuit will go into Sleep state immediately, without positioning to secure

position). Other command like RunInit or ResetPosition will be executed if allowed by current state.

<StepLoss> can only be cleared by a GetStatus or GetFullStatus command.

Note: If the OTP memory has not been programmed, or if the RAM has not been programmed by a SetMotorParam command, or if anyhow <VddReset> = ‘1’, any positioning command will be ignored, in order to avoid any consequence due to unwanted RAM content. Please check that the correct supply voltage is applied to the circuit before zapping the OTP (See: Table 25: DC Parameters Supply and Voltage regulator on page 54), otherwise the circuit will be destroyed.

Parameters stored at address 0x00 and 0x01 and bit LOCKBT are already programmed in the OTP memory at circuit delivery, they correspond to the calibration of the circuit and are just documented here as an indication. Each OPT bit is at ‘0’ when not zapped. Zapping a bit will set it to ‘1’. Thus only bits having to be at ‘1’ must be zapped. Zapping of a bit already at ‘1’ is disabled, to avoid any damage of the Zener diode. It is important to note that only one single OTP byte can be programmed at the same time (see command SetOTPParam).

Once OTP programming is completed, bit LOCKBG can be zapped, to disable unwanted future zapping, otherwise any OTP bit at ‘0’ could still be zapped.

LOCKBG 0x02 to 0x07

The command used to load the application parameters via the LIN bus into the RAM prior to an OTP memory programming is SetMotorParam. This allows for a functional verification before using a SetOTPParam command to program and zap separately one OTP memory byte. A GetOTPParam command issued after each SetOTPParam command allows to verify the correct byte zapping.

5.3 Stepper Motor Driver

The StepMode parameter in SetMotorParam command (6.11.10 SetMotorParam on page 42) is used to select different stepping modes. Following modes are available:

5.3.3 Chopper Mechanism

The chopper frequency is fixed as specified in chapter 10.4 AC Parameters on page 55. The TMC211 uses an intelligent chopper algorithm to provide a smooth operation with low resonance. The TMC211 uses internal measurements to derive current flowing through coils. If the current is less than the desired current, the TMC211 switches a H-bridge in a way that the current will increase. Otherwise if the current is too high, the H-bridge will be switched to decrease the current. For decreasing two modes are available, slow decay and fast decay, whereas fast decay decreases the current faster than slow decay. The figure below shows the chopper behavior.

6.4 Slave operational range for proper self synchronization

The internal oscillator having a ± 10% accuracy over the voltage and temperature range, will synchronize properly in the following conditions:

• Vbb ≥ 8 V

• Ground shift between Master node and Slave node < ± 1 Volt

It is highly recommended to use the same type of reverse battery voltage protection diode for the Master and the Slave nodes.

TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005) 27

6.5 Physical Address of the circuit

The circuit must be provided with a physical address in order to discriminate this circuit from other ones on the LIN bus. This address is coded on seven bits, yielding the theoretical possibility of 128 different circuits on the same bus. It is a combination of four OTP memory bits (see 5.2.3 OTP Memory Structure) and three hardwired address bits (pins HW0, HW1 and HW2). Pins HW0 and HW1 are 5V digital inputs, whereas pin HW2 is compliant with a 12V level. HW2 must either be connected to Vbat or ground. Pin HW2 uses the same principle to check whether it is connected to ground or Vbat like the SWI input (see 5.1.9 External Switch).

The TCM211 supports broadcasting. When the <Broad> bit is set to zero, broadcasting is active and each slave on the LIN bus will be addressed.

6.8 Dynamic Assignment of LIN Identifiers

The identifier field in the LIN message frame denotes the content of the message. Six identifier bits and two parity bits are used to represent the content. The identifiers 0x3C to 0x3F are reserved for command frames and extended frames. Slave nodes need to be very flexible to adapt itself to a given LIN network in order to avoid conflicts with slave nodes from different manufacturers. Dynamic assignment of identifiers fulfills this requirement by writing identifiers into the circuits RAM. ROM pointers are linking commands and dynamic identifiers together.

A writing frame with identifier 0x3C issued by the LIN master writes dynamic identifiers into the RAM. One writing frame is able to assign 4 identifiers, therefore 3 frames are needed to assign all identifiers. Each ROM pointer ROMp_x [3:0] places the corresponding dynamic identifier Dyn_ID_x [5:0] at the correct place in the RAM, see table below. When setting <BROAD> to zero broadcasting is active and each slave on the LIN bus will store the same dynamic identifiers, otherwise only the slave with the corresponding slave address is programmed.

Note: xxx allows to address physically a slave node. Therefore, these dynamic IDs cannot be used for more than 8 stepper motors.

6.9 LIN Message Frames

As specified in LIN specification rev. 1.3 a LIN frame consists of an 8-bit identifier field, followed by 2, 4 or 8 data fields and a checksum field. A LIN frame can either be a writing frame, with one of the following tasks:

• Program the OTP memory

• Provide motion parameters, e.g. velocity, position, torque to the TMC211

Or a LIN frame can be a reading frame which is used to:

• Read actual position or status information of the stepper motor

• Verify correct programming and configuration

6.9.1 Writing Frames

According to the LIN specification there is only a fixed amount of identifiers available. In order to expand the amount of identifiers resp. the amount of commands different types of writing frames are introduced. The TMC211 supports four different writing frames. The following figures illustrate the differences.

30 TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005)

6.9.2 Writing Frame Type#1 (2 or 4 bytes)

General purpose 2 or 4 data bytes writing frame with a dynamically assigned identifier. This type is used to provide 2 or 4 bytes of data to the slave nodes. When <Broad> is set to zero, broadcasting is active and the command is valid for all slave nodes. When <Broad> is one the command is only valid for one slave node whose physical address corresponds to the one provided by the writing frame. A writing frame of 2 bytes issues only a defined command to the slave node(s), e.g. HardStop command. Whereas a writing frame of 4 bytes issues a command and 2 bytes of data to the slave node(s), e.g. SetPosition command.

6.9.3 Writing Frame Type#2 (2, 4 or 8 bytes)

6.9.4 Writing Frame Type#3 (2 bytes)

6.9.5 Writing Frame Type#4 (8 bytes)

8 data bytes writing frame with fixed identifier 0x3C. The structure is similar to type#1 but uses the reserved identifier 0x3C. Using a reserved identifier followed by a particular application command will expand the amount of possible LIN commands.

TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005) 31

6.9.6 Reading Frames

When using reading frames the master initiates the communication by sending a header field, which contains the synchronization and identifier field. The TMC211 supports two types of identifiers:

• Direct ID: The identifier points to a particular slave node. As described in the LIN specification the

slave sends the data as in-frame response. Direct ID gives the fastest access to the required data.

• Indirect ID: Indirect ID contains of two datagrams. The first datagram, called preparing frame,

issues the slave’s physical address to the particular slave node. The second datagram specifies only a reading command by using the reserved identifier 0x3D. Indirect ID has the advantage to use a reserved identifier and therefore provides more flexibility.

6.9.7 Reading Frame Type#5 (2, 4 or 8 bytes)

Type#5 is a reading frame, which uses a direct ID, therefore the master initiates the communication and the slave responds after receiving the identifier. Dependent on the identifier the slave transmits 2, 4 or 8 bytes of data. GetActualPos command uses Type#5 reading frame.

Reading frame Type#6 uses indirect ID and therefore a preparing frame of Type#7 or #8 is needed. The preparing frame dumps the reading command into a particular slave node. Data from the slave is then transmitted after the next reading frame. The reading frame must always be consecutive to a preparing frame, otherwise it is not valid and not taken into account.

6.9.9 Reading Frame Type#7 (Preparing frame)

A preparing frame prepares a particular slave node, that it has to answer after the next reading frame. Preparing frames are needed when using indirect ID.

6.11.5 GotoSecurePosition

This command is provided by the LIN master to one or all stepper motors to move to the secure position SecPos[10:0]. It can also be triggered if the LIN communication is lost or at the end of a RunInit initialization phase. If <Broad> is set to zero all stepper motors connected to the LIN bus will reach their secure position. If SecPos[10:0] equals 0x400 (the most negative decimal value of –1024) the secure position is disabled and the GotoSecurePosition command is ignored.

If this problem is detected while the motor is moving, the <StepLoss> flag is raised allowing to warn the Master with the next GetStatus command that steps may have been lost. A HardStop command can also be issued by the Master for some safety reasons. If <Broad> is set to zero all the stepper motors connected to the LIN bus will stop.

6.11.8 ResetToDefault

This command is provided to the circuit by the Master in order to reset the whole Slave node into the initial state. ResetToDefault for instance overloads the RAM contents with the reset state of the parameters. This is another way for the Master to initialize a slave node in case of emergency, or simply to refresh the RAM content. Note: ActPos is not modified by a ResetToDefault command, and it’s value is copied into TagPos register in order to avoid an attempt to position the motor to ‘0’. If <Broad> is set to zero all circuits connected to the LIN bus will reset to default.

6.11.9 RunInit

This command is provided to the circuit by the Master in order to initialize positioning of the motor by seeking the zero (or reference) position. Refer to 5.1.11 Reference Search / Position initialization on page 14. It leads to a sequence of the following commands:

• SetMotorParam(Vmax, Vmin);

• SetPosition(Pos1);

• SetMotorParam(Vmin, Vmin);

• SetPosition(Pos2);

• ResetPosition

• GotoSecurePosition

Once the RunInit command is started it can not be interrupted by any other command. Except a condition occurs which leads to a motor shutdown (See 5.1.10 Motor Shutdown Management) or a HardStop command is received. If SecPos[10:0] equals 0x400 (the most negative decimal value of

-1024) the final travel to the secure position is omitted.

The master has to ensure that the target position of the first motion is not equal to the actual position of the stepper motor and that the target positions of the first and second motion are different, too. This is very important, otherwise the circuit goes into a deadlock state. Once the circuit is in deadlock state only a HardStop command followed by a GetFullStatus command will cause the circuit to leave the deadlock state. If <Broad> is set to zero all circuits connected to the LIN bus will run the init sequence.

6.11.10 SetMotorParam

This command is provided to the circuit by the Master to set the values for the Stepper motor parameters in RAM. Note: it is not recommended to change Vmax, Vmin or Acc while a motion is ongoing, otherwise correct positioning is not guaranteed. The following parameter values are set in RAM:

• coil peak current value (Irun)

• coil hold current value (Ihold)

• maximum velocity for the Stepper-motor (Vmax)

• minimum velocity for the Stepper-motor (Vmin)

• acceleration shape (AccShape)

• stepping mode (StepMode)

• indicator of the Stepper-motor moving direction (Shaft)

• acceleration (deceleration) for the Stepper-motor (Acc)

• secure position for the Stepper-motor (SecPos)

If <Broad> is set to zero all stepper motors connected to the LIN bus will set the parameters in their RAMs. If SecPos[10:0] is set to 0x400 (the most negative decimal value of –1024) the secure position is disabled and the GotoSecurePosition command is ignored.

6.11.13 SetPositionShort

This command is provided to the circuit by the LIN master to drive one, two or four motors to a given absolute position. This command is valid for half stepping mode (<StepMode> = “00”) and is ignored for other stepping modes. If <Broad> is set to zero all circuits connected to the LIN bus will go to the desired position (only valid for SetPositionShort (1 Motor)).

The physical address is coded on 4 bits, hence SetPositionShort can only be used within a network implementing a maximum of 16 slave nodes. These 4 bits are normally corresponding to the bits PA [3:0] in OTP memory (Address 0x00), while bits AD [6:4] must be at ‘1’. Two different cases must in fact be considered, depending on the programmed value of bit ADM in the OTP memory. See 5.2.3 OTP Memory Structure on page 21.

6.11.14 SoftStop

If a SoftStop command occurs during a motion of the Stepper motor, it provokes an immediate deceleration to Vmin followed by a stop, regardless of the position reached. Once the motor is stopped TagPos register is overwritten with the value in ActPos register to ensure keeping the stop position. This command is executed if:

• the chip temperature rises the Thermal shutdown threshold or

• the Master sends a SoftStop command

If <Broad> is set to zero all the stepper motors connected to the LIN bus will stop with deceleration.

6.11.15 Sleep Mode

According to LIN specification rev. 1.3, sleep mode and stand-by mode (wake-up) are implemented. The interface can work in one of the following modes (refer to Figure 14: LIN Physical Layer):

• Normal mode: EN = ‘1’, Vdd = high, INH = ‘1’

• Sleep mode: in the normal mode EN is set to ‘0’ to go to sleep mode after reception of a LIN Sleep

command or more than 25,000 bit times (1.30 seconds) of LIN bus inactivity. The interface current consumption is limited to Isleep. Only the receiver is working.

• Stand-by mode (wake-up): when a LIN message frame is received in sleep mode or when Vbb

goes high (power-on), INH is immediately activated. The initial state of INH signal is ensured by an internal power-on-reset circuitry inside the wake-up control.

The TMC211 can be immediately forced to sleep mode to reduce current consumption down to Isleep by sending the sleep mode command depicted below:

6.12 Positioning Task Example

The TMC211 has to perform a positioning task, where the actual position of the stepper motor is unknown. The desired target position is 3000 µsteps away from position 0. See Figure 18: Positioning Example: Initial situation.

Figure 18: Positioning Example: Initial situation

The following sequence of commands has to be sent to the slave in order to complete the scenario described above (assumed after power on):

GetFullStatus

The command is used to read the current status of the TMC211. Electrical or environmental problems will be reported, furthermore the circuit leaves the shutdown state and is ready for action. Furthermore the circuit provides the actual and target position. This information is very important, because if the actual position corresponds to the first target position of the RunInit command the circuit will enter a deadlock state. The master must take care that both positions are containing different values. See 6.11.2 GetFullStatus command on page 36 and for deadlock problems see 5.1.11 Reference Search / Position initialization on page 14.

SetMotorParam

In order to drive the stepper motor with desired motion parameters like torque, velocity, a.s.o.. the SetMotorParam command must issued. See 6.11.10 SetMotorParam on page 42.

RunInit

Hence the actual position is unknown, a position initialization has to be performed. The first motion must drive the stepper motor into the stop for sure. The second motion is a very short motion to bring the motor out of the stop. The actual position is then set to zero automatically after the second motion is finished. See 6.11.9 RunInit command on page 41.

After reference search the actual situation looks like as described in Figure 19: Positioning Example: Situation after reference search. Actual position of the stepper motor corresponds to zero, the target position is 3000 µsteps away from the actual position.

Now the positioning command SetPosition can be issued in order to drive the stepper motor to the desired position.

SetPosition

This command will cause the stepper motor to move to the desired target position. See 6.11.12 SetPosition on page 42. After the motion has been finished the situation looks like as described in Figure 20: Positioning Example: Motion finished.

7 Frequently Asked Questions

7.1 Using the bus interface

Q: How many devices can be operated on the same bus?

A: 128 devices can be discriminated by means of the physical address. However, it depends on some factors if this high number really makes sense. First of all it has to be checked if each device can be serviced under any circumstances in the maximum allowed time taking the bus speed and the individual real-time requirements of each device into account. Second, the idea of reserving address 0 for OTP physical address programming during system installation and defective parts replacement reduces the number to 120. Third, the TMC211 has faster and slower types of the GetActualPos, GetStatus and SetPosition commands. The faster types of course can satisfy harder real-time requirements but can only be addressed to 8 different physical devices. If the faster types shall be used only 8 TMC211 devices can be connected to the same LIN bus.

Q: How to program the OTP physical address bits of a device if there are more devices connected to the same bus?

A: The problem here is that all new devices are shipped with the OTP physical address bits set to zero making it difficult to address just one device with the SetOTPParam command. Use HW0, HW1 or HW2 input as chip select line to address just one device by SetOTPParam. If this is impractible since the HW0/HW1/HW2 inputs are hardwired or not controllable for any other reason the only alternative is to assemble and program one device after the other. I.e., assemble only first device and program the desired non-zero address, then assemble the second device and program the desired non-zero address, and so on until all devices are assembled and programmed. This is also a good service concept when replacing defective devices in the field: The idea is that all devices are programmed to different non-zero physical addresses at production/installation time. Once a defective device is being replaced the replacement part can easily be addressed by SetOTPParam since it is the only part with physical address zero.

7.2 General problems when getting started

Q: What is the meaning of ElDef?

A: The ElDef flag (‘Electrical Defect’) is the logical ORing of the OVC1 and OVC2 flags. OVC1 is set to one in case of an overcurrent (coil short) or open load condition (selected coil current is not reached) for coil A. OVC2 is the equivalent for coil B.

Q: What could be the reason for ElDef / OVC1 / OVC2 being set to one?

A: There are a number of possible causes:

• Motor not connected (Æ open load)

• Connected motor has shorted coils (Æ overcurrent) or broken coils (Æ open load)

• Motor coils connected to the wrong device pins

• Selected coil current can not be reached (Æ open load) due to high coil impedance or low

supply voltage. Solution: Select a lower coil run/hold current or rise the supply voltage. Generally: the calculated voltage required to reach a desired coil current at a given coil resistance (V = I • R) must be significantly lower than actual supply voltage due to the coil inductivity.

Q: Should the external switch be normally closed or open when the reference position is hit?

A: The SWI input resp. the ESW flag have neither effect on any internal state machine nor on command processing, even not on the RunInit command. ESW must be polled by software using GetActualPos or GetFullStatus commands. The software can simply be adapted to whatever state the switch is in when the reference position is hit, i.e. closed or open.

TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005) 49

7.3 Using the device

Q: What is the meaning of the ‘Shaft’ bit?

A: The Shaft bit determines the rotating direction of the motor, i.e. clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation.

Q: How to generate an interrupt when the target position is reached?

A: This is not possible. The device hasn’t any interrupt output at all. Just poll ActPos or Motion[2:0] using an appropriate command.

Q: How can I ensure that I always get consistent data for ActPos and ESW?

A: This is ensured by design. ActPos and ESW are latched synchronously by the same internal signal edge. The update period is about one millisecond (typ. 1024 µs). Each time ActPos and ESW are read by the GetActualPos command the result will be a snapshot of both values taken at the same point in time.

Q: How to specify a second target position to go to immediately after a first target position has been reached?

A: This is possible using the RunInit command. Note, that after the second target position has been reached the internal position counter ActPos is reset to zero.

Q: Is it possible to change Vmax on-the-fly?

A: Yes, it is, if the new velocity is in the same group as the old one (see Vmax Parameters). Otherwise correct positioning is not ensured anymore. Vmax values are divided into four groups:

• group A: Vmax index = 0

• group B: Vmax index = 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 or 6

• group C: Vmax index = 7, 8, 9, 10 ,11 or 12

• group D: Vmax index = 13, 14 or 15

Q: Is it possible to change the stepping mode on-the-fly?

A: Yes, it is possible and it has immediate effect on the current motion.

Q: How to operate in continuous velocity mode rather than positioning (ramp) mode?

A: There is no velocity mode. The device was designed primarily for positioning tasks so for each motion there has to be specified a target position by the respective command. However, velocity mode can be emulated by repeating the following two commands again and again:

• Read ActPos using GetActualPos command

• Set lower 16 bits of [ActPos+32767] as the next target position using SetPosition command

For real continuous motion this sequence has to be repeated before the current target position has been reached.

Q: Which units, formats and ranges does position information have?

A: All 16-bit position data fields in commands and responses are coded in two’s complement format with bit 0 representing 1/16 micro-steps. Hence a position range of –32768…+32767 in units of 1/16 micro-steps is covered regardless of the selected stepping mode (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 micro-stepping). The difference between the stepping modes is the resolution resp. the position of the LSB in the 16-bit position data field: it’s bit 0 for 1/16, bit 1 for 1/8, bit 2 for 1/4 and bit 3 for 1/2 micro-stepping. The position range can be regarded as a circle since position –32768 is just 1/16 micro-step away from position +32767. The device will always take the shortest way from the current to the target position, i.e., if the current position is +32767 and the target position is –32768 just 1/16 micro-step will be executed. 65535 1/16 micro-steps in the opposite direction can be achieved for example by two consecutive SetPosition commands with target positions 0 and –32768.

The 11-bit secure position data field can be treated as the upper 11 MSBs of the 16-bit position data fields described above with the 5 LSBs hardwired to zero. Hence it covers the same position range with a reduced resolution: The position range is –1024…+1023 in units of two full-steps.

50 TMC211 DATASHEET (V. 1.04 / January 7, 2005)

The 11-bit position data fields of the TMC211 SetPositionShort commands are coded in two’s complement format with bit 0 representing half-steps resulting in a position range of –1024…+1023 half-steps. Hence only a quarter of the range of the other position data fields described above is covered. Note, that SetPositionShort command is valid for half-stepping mode only and is ignored for other stepping modes. Furthermore, SetPositionShort can only be used with a maximum of 16 TMC211 devices connected to the LIN bus.

7.4 Finding the reference position

Q: How do I find a reference position?

A: The recommended way is to use the RunInit command. Two motions are specified through RunInit. The first motion is to reach the mechanical stop. Its target position should be specified far away enough so that the mechanical stop will be reached from any possible starting position. There is no internal stall detection so that at the end of the first motion the step motor will bounce against the mechanical stop loosing steps until the internal target position is reached. The second motion then can be used either to drive in the opposite direction out of the mechanical stop right into the reference position which is a known number of steps away from the mechanical stop. Or the second motion can slowly drive a few steps in the same direction against the mechanical stop to compensate for the bouncing of the faster first motion and stop as close to the mechanical stop as possible.

Q: Can the SWI input help in finding a reference position?

Not directly. The current state of the SWI input is reflected by the ESW flag which can only be polled using the commands GetActualPos or GetFullStatus. The SWI input resp. the ESW flag have neither influence on any internal state machine nor on command processing. The recommended way to find a reference position is to use the RunInit command. Alternatively one could initiate a long distance motion at very low speed using SetPosition and then poll ESW as frequently as possible to be able to stop the motion using HardStop right in the moment the switch position is reached. Then one would reset the internal position counters ActPos and TagPos using the ResetPosition command.

Q: What is the logic of the ESW flag?

A: The ESW flag reflects the state of the SWI input. ESW is set to one if SW I is high or low, i.e. pulled to VBAT or to GND. ESW is set to zero if SWI is left open, i.e. floating. ESW is updated synchronously with ActPos every 1024 µs.

Q: Is it possible to swap the logic of the ESW flag?

A: No, it’s not. Actually this is not necessary since the ESW flag must be polled and evaluated by software anyway. The state of ESW has neither effect on any internal state machine nor on command processing.

Q: What else is important for the RunInit command?

A: The first target position of RunInit must be different from the current position before sending RunInit and the second target position must be different from the first one. Otherwise a deadlock situation can occur. During execution of RunInit only Get… commands should be sent to the device.

Q: Does the second motion of RunInit stop when the ESW flag changes, or does it continue into the mechanical stop?

A: Neither nor. The SWI input resp. the ESW flag have neither effect on any internal state machine nor on command processing, i.e. the RunInit command is not influenced by SWI / ESW. The same is true for the mechanical stop: as there isn’t any internal stall detection the RunInit command can not detect a mechanical stop. W hen the mechanical stop is hit the first or second motion of RunInit (or the motion of any other motion command) will be continued until the internal position counter ActPos has reached the target position of this motion. This results in the motor bouncing against the mechanical stop and loosing steps. The intention of the second motion of RunInit is to drive out of the mechanical stop (reached by the first motion) to the desired reference position at a known distance from the mechanical stop or to drive slowly against the mechanical stop again to compensate for the bouncing of the first motion and to come to a standstill as close to the mechanical stop as possible.

Q: Does RunInit reset the position?

A: Yes, it does. After the second motion of RunInit has been finished the internal position counter ActPos is reset to zero.
