With SUPPORTED DRIVERS where de-centralized high power drivers are desired. The board can be connected to a baseboard or customized electronics • step / direction drivers (e.g. TMC401, TMCM-013, TMCM-023, TMCM-078, IDX7505 or TMCM-171) software development environment TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic • UART (RS-232, RS-485, up to 115200 bit/s) or CAN 2.0b host interface (up to 1 Mbit/s) or USB (optional) Motion Control Language (TMCL). Using predefined TMCL high • inputs for reference and stop switches with a pin connector. The TMCM-342 comes with the PC based INTERFACE level commands like „move to position“ or „constant rotation“ rapid and fast development of motion control applications is • general purpose analog and digital I/Os guaranteed. The TMCM-342 can be controlled via the serial UART • three motion controllers for high step frequency interface (e.g. using a RS-232 or RS-485 level shifter), via CAN or • memory for 2048 TMCL commands optinal via USB. Communication traffic is kept very low since all • ready for CANopen time critical operations, e.g. ramp calculation, are performed on • automatic ramp generation in hardware board. The TMCL operations can be stored in the on board • on the fly alteration of motion parameters (e.g. position, velocity, acceleration) FEATURES EEPROM for stand-alone operation. An optional firmware allows • high dynamics: step frequencies up to 300kHz to control the TMCM-342 via CANopen. The firmware of the module can be updated via the serial or via CAN interface. step/dir TMCM-342 16 RS-232 or RS-485 UART Step SOFTWARE Driver e.g. TMCM-035 I/Os CAN • 1.8µs step pulse length and step to direction delay 3x programmable step/dir Motion Controller 5V DC Step e.g. TMCM-035 step/dir Motor Step OTHER Driver 6 e.g. TMCM-035 REF-Switches • stand-alone operation using TMCL or remote controlled operation • PC-based application development software TMCL-IDE included Driver with TMC428 TMCL Memory Motor Motor • 68 pin connector carries all signals • RoHS compliant • size: 80 x 50 mm² OR DE R C O DE D E SC R I P T IO N TMCM-342 (-option) 3-axis step / direction controller module Related products: BB-302, BB-323-02, TMCM-EVAL, TMCM driver with step / direction input OP TI O NS H Horizontal pin connector (standard) V Vertical pin connector (on request) www.trinamic.com – for detailed information and datasheets 83
