TMCM-1110 StepRocker Hardware Manual Hardware Version V2.30 | Document Revision V1.13 • 2021-MAR-25 The TMCM-1110 StepRocker is a single axis motor controller/driver board for 2-phase bipolar step- per motors. It features the TRINAMIC controller/driver chain consisting of TMC429 and TMC262 in combination with an ARM Cortex-M4™...
ARM Cortex-M4™ (MK20DX128VLK7) processor. The module is intended to be a fully functional development platform. A TMCM-1110 StepRocker can be extended to a full 3-axes system using two ad- ditional boards, because the TMCM-1110 StepRocker board can be both, master or slave.

Table 8: USB Connector Pin Assignment 4.7 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 6).
4.8 Step/Dir Output Connectors (Motor 1 and Motor 2) The TMC429 motion controller on the TMCM-1110 StepRocker is able to control up to three stepper mo- tors. Its Step/Dir outputs (TTL level) for motor 1 and motor 2 are available via connectors Step/Dir Out 1 and Step/Dir Out 2.
Figure 3: TMCM-1110 StepRocker Programming Pads 5 Reset to Factory Default It is possible to reset all settings of the TMCM-1110 StepRocker to factory default without establishing a working communication connection. This might be helpful in case communication parameters of the preferred interface have been set to unknown values or got lost.

Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high communication speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The TMCM-1110 StepRocker does not integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be added externally.
TMCM-1110 StepRocker Hardware Manual • Hardware Version V2.30 | Document Revision V1.13 • 2021-MAR-25 18 / 26 9 Functional Description The TMCM-1110 StepRocker is a highly integrated single axis controller/driver module for stepper motors. It can be controlled via RS485 or USB serial interfaces (CAN retro- t option) and comes with the PC based software development environment TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic Motion Control Language (TMCL™).
9.1 Extensions of the TMCM-1110 StepRocker The TMCM-1110 StepRocker can be extended for multi-axes systems with up-to 3 axes. The module itself can be con gured as master or slave. An example for a three axes system is shown below. The TMCM- 1110 StepRocker at the top is con gured as master while the other two are con gured as slave.
TMCM-1110 StepRocker Hardware Manual • Hardware Version V2.30 | Document Revision V1.13 • 2021-MAR-25 20 / 26 10 Operational Ratings and Characteristics Never Exceed the absolute maximum ratings! Keep the power supply voltage NOTICE below the upper limit of +30V! Otherwise the board electronics will seriously be damaged! Especially, when the selected operating voltage is near the upper limit a regulated power supply is highly recommended.
