4 Mechanical and Electrical Interfacing

4.1 Dimensions and Mounting Holes

The dimensions of the TMCM-6210 and TMCM-6211 controller/driver board are approx. 215mm x 100mm x 21mm. Maximum component height (height above PCB level) without mating connectors is around 17mm above PCB level and 2mm below PCB level. There are 12 mounting holes for M3 screws (3.2mm diameter) altogether for mounting the PCB.

Figure 4.1 Dimension of TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 and position of mounting holes

Please note: TMCM-6210 and TMCM-6211 share the same PCB with different assembly options regarding the interface section. Dimensions, mounting holes and board mounting considerations (see chapter below) are the same for both boards.

4.2 Board mounting considerations

The TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 offer 12 metal plated mounting holes. One hole (lower right) is connected to onboard system ground (connected to power supply input ground) via 1M (500VDC) || 1nF (1kV). The same combination or resistor and capacitor is used for connecting the RJ45 shield ground (connector enclosure) to power supply input ground (see figure 4.1).

Figure 4.2 TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 mounting hole connections

All other mounting holes are electrically isolated. Please note that not all holes have to be used for mounting the pcb. At least the mounting holes in all four corners and two in the middle (6 altogether) should be used to ensure adequate support of the pcb when inserting / removing connectors in order to avoid significant bending of the pcb.

In any case: please remove / attach mating connectors carefully – supporting the pcb if necessary!

Connector and mating connector overview:

Table 5.1 TMCM-6210 interface brick: connectors and mating connectors

5.1.1 RS485 connector

There are two RS485 connectors on the board with the same pin assignment – pins directly connected to each other. The second connector may be used for attaching a bus termination resistor to the RS485 bus (there is no termination resistor on-board) or for further distribution of the RS485 bus signals to other RS485 communication nodes while maintaining a proper bus structure.

A three pin Molex MicroFit™ connector (Molex part no. 436500315) is used for RS485 connection. Mating connector housing e.g. Molex 43645-0300, contacts Molex 43030-0007. Please note that there are alternative options available from Molex for both, housing and contacts.

Table 5.1: Interface Brick: RS485 connector

5.1.2 CAN connector

There are two CAN connectors on the board with the same pin assignment – pins directly connected to each other. The second one may be used for attaching a bus termination resistor to the RS485 bus (there is no termination resistor on-board) or for further distribution of the CAN bus signals to other CAN nodes while maintaining a proper bus structure. A standard RJ45 plug connector is used for CAN communication. Standard CAT cables (e.g. CAT 5, non-crossing) might be used for connection. Pin assignment of the RJ45 is based on the CiA 303-1 recommendation.

5.1.3 USB connector

The TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 offers a Micro USB connector (Type B, device interface) for communication. The USB interface supports USB high speed communication (12Mbit/s). With USB attached the digital logic part of the TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 will be supplied via USB (USB powered mode) if there is no main supply available. This mode may be used for firmware-updates, TMCL-program download or parameter settings etc. (requires USB connection, only). Please note that in USB stand-alone mode (main board supply available) the board might still draw current from the USB supply – depending on the voltage level of the USB +5V and the on-board generated +5V.

5.1.4 Input connector

The TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 offer four analog inputs (nom. 0..10V range) which may be used as digital inputs, also (+24V tolerant).

The four inputs are available via one 10 pin Molex MicroFit™ connector (Molex part no. 430451012). Mating connector housing e.g. Molex 43025-1000, contacts Molex 43030-0007. Please note that there are alternative options available from Molex for both, mating housing and contacts.

Connector and mating connector overview:

Table 5.5: TMCM-6211 interface brick: connectors and mating connectors

5.2.1 EtherCAT™ connector

There are two EtherCAT™ connectors on the board – one for LINK IN (towards / coming from EtherCAT™ master) and one for LINK OUT (for connecting further slaves) connection.

A standard RJ45 plug connector (as used for 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet) is used for EtherCAT™ communication. Standard CAT cables suitable for 100Mbit/s Ethernet (e.g. CAT 5 / 5e etc.) might be used for connection. The PHYs used on the TMCM-6211 support auto MDI-X – therefore, TX and RX signals on the connector might be exchanged – e.g. cables with straight-through pin-assignment can be used.

There is limited reverse polarity protection, only! The module will short any reversed supply voltage.

5.4.3 Resistor connector

The TMCM-6210 and TMCM-6211 offer a brake chopper in hardware for limiting supply voltage in case energy is fed back from motor / driver stage into the supply rail. A two pin Molex MicroFit™ connector (Molex part no. 43650-0215) is used for connecting an external brake resistor. Mating connector housing e.g. Molex 43645-0200, contacts Molex 43030-0007. Please note that there are alternative options available from Molex for both, housing and contacts.

Table 5.16: Power supply brick: Resistor connector

5.5 Power supply

For proper operation care has to be taken with regard to power supply concept and design. The TMCM-6210 / TMCM-6211 includes about 2800µF/35V of supply filter capacitors. In addition, the module includes a 24V suppressor diode for over-voltage protection. Nevertheless, it is important to make sure that supply voltage will not rise beyond the upper limit of +27V! Please note: during motor deceleration the driver stage might feedback energy from the motor into the supply rail and supply voltage might increase. In order to limit the supply voltage a brake chopper circuit has been included on the board. When activated in software and together with an external power resistor this circuit will limit the supply voltage.

5.6 RS485

For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-6210 provides a two wire RS485 bus interface. For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up an RS485 network:

1. BUS STRUCTURE:

The network topology should follow a bus structure as closely as possible. That is, the connection between each node and the bus itself should be as short as possible. Basically, it should be short compared to the length of the bus. The TMCM-6210 offers two connectors which are connected directly to each other and the on-board RS485 transceiver. Using both connectors for passing through the bus will help with keeping a proper bus topology.

Figure 5.3: Bus structure

2. BUS TERMINATION:

Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high communication speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The TMCM-6210 does not integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be added externally.

3. NUMBER OF NODES:

The RS485 electrical interface standard (EIA-485) allows up to 32 nodes to be connected to a single bus. The bus transceivers used on the TMCM-6110 units (SN65HVD1781D) have a significantly reduced bus load and allow a maximum of 255 units to be connected to a single RS485 bus using TMCL firmware. Please

note: usually it cannot be expected to get reliable communication with the maximum number of nodes connected to one bus and maximum supported communication speed at the same time. Instead, a compromise has to be found between bus cable length, communication speed and number of nodes.

4. COMMUNICATION SPEED:

The maximum RS485 communication speed supported by the TMCM-6210 hardware is 1Mbit/s. Factory default is 9600 bit/s. Please see separate firmware manuals for information regarding other possible communication speeds below the upper limit in hardware.

5. NO FLOATING BUS LINES:

Avoid floating bus lines while neither the host/master nor one of the slaves along the bus line is transmitting data (all bus nodes switched to receive mode). Floating bus lines may lead to communication errors. In order to ensure valid signals on the bus it is recommended to use a resistor network connecting both bus lines to well defined logic levels.

There are actually two options which can be recommended: Add resistor (Bias) network on one side of the bus, only (120R termination resistor still at both ends):

Figure 4.4: Bus lines with resistor (Bias) network on one side, only

Or add resistor (Bias) network at both ends of the bus (like Profibus™ termination):

Certain RS485 interface converters available for PCs already include these additional resistors (e.g. USB-2485 with bias network at one end of the bus).

5.7 CAN

For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-6210 provides a CAN bus interface. For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up a CAN network:

1. BUS STRUCTURE:

The network topology should follow a bus structure as closely as possible. That is, the connection between each node and the bus itself should be as short as possible. Basically, it should be short compared to the length of the bus. The TMCM-6210 offers two connectors (RJ45) which are connected directly to each other and the on-board CAN transceiver. Using both connectors for passing through the bus will help with keeping a proper bus topology.

Figure 5.6: CAN bus structure

2. BUS TERMINATION:

Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high communication speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The TMCM-6210 does not integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be added externally.

5.7.1 CAN adapter

As part of the cable loom for the TMCM-6210 (G4-CABLE) an adapter pcb is vailable (RJ45-2-DSUB_G4_V10) for making CAN bus connection via standard D-SUB connectors instead of the RJ45 available on the TMCM-6210. A standard e.g. CAT5 ethernet cable might be used to connect the RJ45 connector on the TMCM-6210 with the RJ45 connector on the adapter pcb. The D-SUB connector on the adapter pcb might then be used to connect further slaves or the master with CAN D-SUB connectors. Please make sure to maintain a proper bus structure while using the adapter pcb.

TMCM-6210

10 TMCM-6210 Functional Description

The TMCM-6210 is a highly integrated controller/driver module for 6 stepper motor axes which can be controlled via several serial interfaces (CAN, RS485 and USB – depending on firmware). Communication traffic is kept low since all time critical operations (e.g. ramp calculations) are performed on board. The nominal supply voltage of the unit is 12V or 24V DC. The module is designed for both, standalone operation and direct mode. Full remote control of device with feedback is possible. The firmware of the module can be updated via one of the serial interfaces (depending on module and firmware type).

In Figure 10.1 the main parts of the TMCM-6210 are shown:

- Microcontroller, responsible for overall control – executes the firmware (either TMCL or CANopen incl. the

communication stack)

- 3 dual-axes motion controller and driver with calculation of ramps (linear and sixPoint™) and speed

profiles internally in hardware

- interface for an external (e.g. optical) incremental A/B/N encoder (differential RS422 signals) for each axis

- interface for HOME / REFL / REFR reference switches for each axis (either encoder interface or reference

switches can be selected in software)

- 4 general purpose analog / digital inputs

- 4 general purpose digital (open-drain) outputs

- Three serial communication interfaces: CAN, RS485 and USB (Micro-USB-connector). While CAN and RS485

are intended for in-system control and operation (for CANopen firmware just CAN) the USB interface may be primarily used for parameter settings and firmware updates.

11 TMCM-6211 Functional Description

The TMCM-6211 is a highly integrated controller/driver module for 6 stepper motor axes which offers an EtherCAT™ interface in addition to USB for communication. The nominal supply voltage of the unit is 12V or 24V DC. Full remote control of the device with feedback is possible using the CANopen over EtherCAT™ (CoE) firmware. The firmware of the module can be updated via one of the serial interfaces.

In Figure 10.1 the main parts of the TMCM-6211 are shown:

- Microcontroller, responsible for overall control – executes the firmware (CANopen over EtherCAT, CoE)

- 3 dual-axes motion controller and driver with calculation of ramps (linear and sixPoint™) and speed

profiles internally in hardware

- interface for an external (e.g. optical) incremental A/B/N encoder (differential RS422 signals) for each axis

- interface for HOME / REFL / REFR reference switches for each axis (either encoder interface or reference

switches can be selected in software)

- 4 general purpose analog / digital inputs

- 4 general purpose digital (open-drain) outputs

- EtherCAT™ and USB interfaces for communication. The EtherCAT™ interface is intended for in-system

control and operation (using CoE firmware), while USB may be used for parameter setting and firmware updates
