TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG. TMC457-EVAL

The TMC457-EVAL is designed to evaluate the TMC457 high-end motion controller in combination with a TMC246 stepper motor driver or with a Piezo LEGS™ piezo motor from PiezoMotor™. Specifications Motor type 2-phase stepper motor up to 1.1A (RMS) Piezo LEGS™ piezo motor any type of motor using step/dir. interface Features combines an ARM7 processor with the TMC457 motion controller stepper motor driver TMC246A with stallGuard™ sensorless stall detection and chopSync™ sub-micrometer positioning using piezo motor active stabilization with incremental encoder and fast PID regulator motor operation with up to 2048 microsteps via 8192 entry 12 bit table (LUT) optional incremental encoder feedback operation supply voltage 12 to 34V, with internal 48V step up converter for piezo motor (optional use) Interface USB 2.0 interface optional RS232 interface (use 1:1 cable) step/direction input and output (3.3V level) 2 or 3-channel incremental encoder (5V) input two stop or reference switch inputs Software Evaluation software for exploring of the TMC457 with direct register access optional TMCL™ firmware allows comfortable and simple writing of stand-alone test applications USB driver provided source code of the ARM7 processor software is provided to allow access to TMC457 via PC Highlights S-shaped and linear ramps with on-the-fly alteration of all parameters programmable high resolution sequencer with (12 bit, 8192 entry) micro step look-up table incremental encoder interface with flexible up- and down scaling to match drive resolution fast and stable easyPID™ PID controller 32 bit registers - from mHz to MHz / from nanometer to meter reference switch processing / virtual stop switches (programmable soft limits) step/direction output (with programmable timing) position pulse output to trigger external events synchronization of multiple axis via scalable step / direction input direct interface for TMC246/TMC249 family stepper motor drivers supports stallGuard™ Other delivery without motors! pluggable screw connectors for power, motor and sensors RoHS compliant size: 145x100mm²
