TMCM-1110 stepRocker Hardware Manual (V1.04 / 2011-OCT-31) 4 Mechanical and electrical interfacing 4.1 Size of board The board with the controller/driver electronics has an overall size of 85mm x 55mm x 15mm without mating connectors. It offers four mounting holes for M3 screws (3.2mm diameter). All four mounting holes are connected to the ground plane (signal and supply ground) of the module.
TMCM-1110 stepRocker Hardware Manual (V1.04 / 2011-OCT-31) 4.2 Connectors The TMCM-1110 stepRocker has nine connectors altogether. There are two screw connectors for power and motor and two interface connectors (mini-USB and RS485). Further, the stepRocker has one connector for reference switches for all three motors, the driver input connector (TTL level) for motor 0, two controller output connectors (TTL level) for motors 1 and 2 and the GPIO connector, which can be used e.g.

Table 4.9: USB connector 4.2.7 Step/dir input connector (motor 0) The TMCM-1110 stepRocker is equipped with a step/dir input connector for motor 0. Via this connector an external motion controller can be used together with the on-board driver electronics. For selecting an external motion controller instead of the on-board TMC429 motion controller two jumpers have to be set (please refer to chapter 4.3).
TMCM-1110 stepRocker Hardware Manual (V1.04 / 2011-OCT-31) 4.2.9 µC programming interface The programming pads of the interface are on the backside of the module. There are possibilities for programming in two different modes: debug mode and serial writing mode. The selection of the programming mode depends on the chosen adapter.
TMCM-1110 stepRocker Hardware Manual (V1.04 / 2011-OCT-31) 4.3 Jumper settings The TMCM-1110 stepRocker offers possibilities for settings by jumper. Here, three adjustments are mentioned. Select motion controller and select motor current are basic. Jumpers on the GPIO connector are optional.
Figure 4.4: LEDs of the stepRocker 4.5 Communication 4.5.1 RS485 For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1110 provides a two wire RS485 bus interface. For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up an RS485 network: BUS STRUCTURE: The network topology should follow a bus structure as closely as possible.
Figure 4.6: RS485 bus lines with resistor network 4.5.2 USB For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1110 stepRocker provides a USB 2.0 full- speed (12Mbit/s) interface (mini-USB connector). As soon as a USB-Host is connected the module will accept commands via USB.
4.5.3 CAN (retro-fit option) For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1110 stepRocker can be equipped with a CAN bus interface. Please note, that it is necessary to prepare the board with a CAN transceiver and the according capacitor first (chapter 4.2.5.1).
RS485 or USB serial interfaces (CAN retro-fit option). The TMCM-1110 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 a rapid and fast development of motion control applications is guaranteed.
