TMCM-1141 Hardware Manual (Rev. 1.06 / 2015-JAN-09) TRINAMIC – E TMCL NIQUE EATURES ASY TO SE WITH stallGuard2™ stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF on the coils. It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the motor. The stallGuard2 measurement value changes linearly over a wide range of load, velocity, and current settings.

TMCM-1141 Hardware Manual (Rev. 1.06 / 2015-JAN-09) 3.2 Connectors of TMCM-1141 The TMCM-1141 controller/driver board offers five connectors including the motor connector which is used for attaching the motor coils to the electronics. Further, there is a connector for power and for the RS485 interface. The USB interface and the step/direction interface have their own connectors.
It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size (e.g. 1000µF/35V) to the power supply lines next to the TMCM-1141 especially if the distance to the power supply is large (i.e. more than 2-3m)! In larger systems a zener diode circuitry might be required in order to limit the maximum voltage when the motor is operated at high velocities.

3.2.1.2 RS485 For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1141 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.
Table 3.3 Connector for USB For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1141 provides a USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s) device interface (mini-USB connector). As soon as a USB host is connected the module will accept commands via USB.
3.2.3.1 Digital Inputs IN_1, IN_2, IN_3 The eight pin connector of the TMCM-1141 provides three multipurpose digital inputs IN_1, IN_2 and IN_3. All three inputs accept up to +24V (nom.) input signals and offer the same input circuit with voltage resistor dividers, limiting diodes against over- and under-voltage and programmable 2k2 pull-up resistors.

3.2.3.3 Outputs OUT_0, OUT_1 The eight pin connector of the TMCM-1141 offers two general purpose outputs OUT_0 and OUT_1. These two outputs are open-drain outputs and can sink up to 100 mA each. The outputs of the N-channel MOSFET transistors are connected to freewheeling diodes each for protection against voltage spikes especially from inductive loads (relais etc.) above supply voltage (see figure below).

TMCM-1141 Hardware Manual (Rev. 1.06 / 2015-JAN-09) Since hardware version 1.3 the gate inputs of the MOSFETs are pulled-low during power-up and while the processor is still in reset / output pins not initialized. This way, the outputs will not briefly switch on at power-up.
The inputs Step / Direction / Enable are electrically (optically) isolated from the power supply and all other signals of the TMCM-1141 module. These inputs have one common reference input COMMON (see Figure 3.). The COMMON input should be connected to a positive supply voltage between +5V and +24V. Step / Direction / Enable signals might be driven either by open-collector / open-drain outputs or by push-pull outputs.
TMCM-1141 Hardware Manual (Rev. 1.06 / 2015-JAN-09) 3.2.5 Motor Connector As motor connector a 4pin 2mm pitch single row connector is available. The motor connector is used for connecting the four motor wires of the two motor coils of the bipolar stepper motor to the electronics.

TMCM-1141 Hardware Manual (Rev. 1.06 / 2015-JAN-09) The settings marked red in the table above from the high current range (above 2A RMS motor current) should not be used as they will violate specification of the module! In addition to the settings in the table the motor current may be switched off completely (free-wheeling) using axis parameter 204 (see TMCM-1141 firmware manual).
5 Reset to Factory Defaults It is possible to reset the TMCM-1141 to factory default settings without establishing a communication link. This might be helpful in case communication parameters of the preferred interface have been set to unknown values or got accidentally lost.
