5Functional Description
In Figure 5.1 the main parts of the TMCM-IF add on module are shown in combination with the
TMCM-102 base board. The module mainly consists of the interfaces and connectors to get access to
the base boards functions.
Figure 5.1: Main parts of the TMCM-IF adapter/interface add-on-board
5.1 System Architecture
With the adapter board the large amount of possibilities provided by the base board can be
customized and easily accessed.
The standard adapter board provides five interface variants, RS422, RS485, CAN, RS232 and USB, witch
can be adjusted via onboard dip switches. Also it has 14 easy accessible I/Os such as limit switches,
encoder interface, etc.
5.2 Interface Selection through DIP switches
Switch 101 and 102 select the different interfaces (RS422 or RS232, CAN, RS485 and USB).
5.2.1 RS422 Configuration
To select the RS422 interface, configure the DIP switches 101 and 102 as follows:
Additionally the termination can be activated by changing switch 1 and 8 of Switch 102 to ON.

5.2.2 RS232 Configuration
To select the RS232 interface, configure the DIP switches 101 and 102 as follows:
5.2.3 CAN Configuration
To select the CAN interface, configure the DIP switches 101 and 102 as follows:
Additionally the termination can be activated by changing switch 1 of Switch 102 to ON.
5.2.4 RS485 Configuration
To select the RS485 interface, configure the DIP switches 101 and 102 as follows:
Additionally the termination can be activated by changing switch 1 of Switch 102 to ON.
5.2.5 USB Configuration
To select the USB interface, configure the DIP switches 101 and 102 as follows:
5.3 Address setting (depending on firmware version)
Address setting is possible via TMCL.
DIP switch 100, switches 2 to 8 adjust the address of the CAN and RS-422 interfaces. Only one of
these interfaces can be used at a time. The address setting depends on the firmware version.

5.4 IN7 or party/single mode setting by DIP switch
With TMCL firmware: The input IN7 on pin 11 of connector 3 can be set by switch 1 of Switch 100.
Additionally the +5V optocoupler supply on the terminal connector pin 14 has to be connected. The
+5V output on pin 5 can be used. Switching to ON pulls IN7 to ground. The IN7 input of the TMCM102/TMCM-142 base board is low active. The status can be read with GIO 7, 0.
Same applies for the IMS firmware. Switch OFF enables single mode and ON party mode.
5.5 Home input
The home input is equivalent to the input IN8 using TMCL firmware. The status can be read with
GIO 8, 0. With IMS firmware use “]1” or the “F” command.
5.6 Encoder connection
The TMCM-IF add-on-board provides a single ended encoder interface. Use the encoder entrances
ENC_A+ for A (Terminal pole 4), ENC_B+ for B (pole 3) and ENC_N+ for N (pole 2). The +5V DC supply
voltage (pole 5) can be used for the encoder. For greater orders differential encoders can be
supported on request, also.
5.7 Reference switches
Two digital reference / stop switch inputs are provided (LIMIT B = stop left and LIMIT A = stop right).
They are used as an absolute position reference for homing and to set a hardware limit for the
motion range. The inputs are optically isolated, active low and use TTL levels.
