Safety features

Shutdown input. The driver will be disabled in hardware as long as this pin is left open or shorted to ground
Separate supply voltage inputs for driver and digital logic – driver supply voltage may be switched off externally while supply for digital logic and therefore digital logic remains activ

Part details & applications

The TMCM-1180 is a single axis stepper motor controller/driver module for sensorless load dependent current control. The device is powered by ADI Trinamic StallGuard2^™, CoolStep^™ and SpreadCycle^™ chopper technology and has a trapezoidal ramp generator. The TMCM-1180 is capable of driving up to 7.8A of current from each output (with proper heatsinking). It is designed for an operating voltage of 18 to 55V. The device provides a RS485, CAN, USB, S/D and encoder interface. An integrated protocol processor supplies a high level TMCL/ CANopen communication.

All you need to get started is a power supply and ADI Trinamic's free and easy to use TMCL-IDE. This graphical user interface allows quick setup and supports the use of commands in direct mode, monitors real-time behavior visualized in graphs, and logs and stores data.
