TMCM-1211 TMCL rmware allows to control the module using TMCL™ commands, supporting standalone operation as well as direct mode control, making use of the Trinamic TMC5160 motion controller and motor driver. Dynamic current control, and quiet, smooth and e cient operation are combined with stallGuard™...
DC supply voltage. It is also equipped with end switch inputs as well as some general purpose digital inputs and outputs and one analogue input. With its high energy e ciency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep™ technology cost for power consumption is kept down. The TMCL rmware allows for both standalone and direct mode operation.
Firmware Manual • Firmware Version V1.10 | Document Revision V1.00 • 2018-OCT-02 1.3 sixPoint Motion Controller TRINAMIC’s sixPoint motion controller is a new type of ramp generator which offers faster machine opera- tion compared to the classical linear acceleration ramps. The sixPoint ramp generator allows adapting the acceleration ramps to the torque curves of a stepper motor.
TMCL-IDE installed on your PC then please download it from the TMCL-IDE product page of Trinamic’s website (http://www.trinamic.com) and install it on your PC. Please also ensure that your TMCM-1211 is properly connected to your power supply and that the stepper motor is properly connected to the module.
Whereas the boot loader is installed during production and testing at TRINAMIC and remains untouched throughout the whole lifetime, the rmware can be updated by the user. New versions can be downloaded free of charge from the TRINAMIC website (http://www.trinamic.com).
3.6.51 Customer speci c Command Extensions (UF0. . . UF7 – User Functions) These commands are used for customer speci c extensions of TMCL. They will be implemented in C by Trinamic. Please contact the sales department of Trinamic Motion Control GmbH & Co KG if you need a customized TMCL rmware.
The global parameter bank 1 is normally not available. It may be used for customer speci c extensions of the rmware. Together with user de nable commands these variables form the interface between extensions of the rmware (written by Trinamic in C) and TMCL applications. 5.3 Bank 2 Bank 2 contains general purpose 32 bit variables for use in TMCL applications.
With the TMCM-1211 the encoder cannot be used for a servo-like closed-loop operation (but there are a number of other Trinamic modules which can do real closed-loop operation).
