TMCM-110-42 Manual 3
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
it is possible to detect motor overload or motor stall.
