2 Features
The TMCM-1630 is a highly integrated single axis BLDC servo controller module with several interface-options.
The highly integrated module (size: 50mm x 92.5 mm) has been designed in order to be plugged onto a
baseboard. It integrates velocity and position control and offers hall sensor and incremental encoder (a/b/n)
inputs. The module can be used in stand alone operation or remote controlled.
Applications
Demanding single and multi-axis BLDC motor solutions
Electrical data
Supply voltage: +24V DC or +48V DC nominal (+12… +55V DC max.)
Motor current: up to 10A RMS (programmable) peak
Integrated motion controller
High performance ARM Cortex™-M3 microcontroller for system control and communication protocol
handling
Integrated motor driver
High performance integrated pre-driver (TMC603A)
High-efficient operation, low power dissipation (MOSFETs with low R
Dynamic current control
Integrated protection
On the fly alteration of motion parameters (e.g. position, velocity, acceleration)
Interfaces
Two standard assembly options:
- RS232 and CAN (2.0B up to 1Mbit/s)
- RS485 and USB (High-speed 12Mbit/s)
2 analogue and 2 digital inputs
3 open drain outputs
Motor type
Block commutated 3 phase BLDC motors with optional hall sensors / optional encoder
Motor power from a few Watts to nearly 500W
Motor velocity up to 100,000 RPM (electrical field)
Common supply voltages of 12V DC, 24V DC, 36V DC and 48V DC supported
Coil current up to 10A peak
Software
