Overview

The TMCM-351-E-TMCL is a compact three-axis triple-stepper motor controller and driver module designed for bipolar stepper motors. It supports a wide load voltage range of 7V to 28.5V and provides up to 2.8A RMS per axis, utilizing an integrated ARM AT91SAM7X256 core for real-time motion profile calculation. This board comes with the TMCL firmware and an incremental encoder interface for closed-loop operation.

Why Choose This Part

The board features Trinamic's stallGuard technology for sensorless load detection and supports multiple communication interfaces including CAN, RS-485, and USB. It simplifies system design by handling complex motion profiles on-board and offering integrated protection for over-current and over-temperature conditions.

Applications

Multi-Axis Robotics
Simultaneous control of three bipolar stepper motors for robotic arms or laboratory automation systems.
Precision CNC Machinery
Utilizes stallGuard and closed-loop encoder support for high-precision positioning in small-scale milling or engraving.
Medical Laboratory Equipment
Automated liquid handling and sample positioning where low-noise operation and high reliability are required.
Industrial Pick-and-Place
Integrated motion profile calculation reduces the overhead on the host controller in high-speed assembly lines.
