Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated TMCM-6110 6-Axis Trinamic Stepper Driver Board
Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated TMCM-6110 6-Axis Stepper Motor Driver Board is a standalone board that supports up to 6x bipolar stepper motors with up to 1.1ARMS coil current. This board is designed for sensorless, load-dependent current control and is capable of driving up to 1.6A of current from each output (with proper heatsinking). Proprietary StallGuard2™, CoolStep™, and SpreadCycle™ technologies, including a trapezoidal ramp generator, power the TMCM-6110 Driver Board. The 6-axis Stepper Motor Driver Board features a 9VDC to 28VDC operating voltage range and provides RS485, CAN, and USB interfaces. An integrated protocol processor supplies a high level TMCL communication. Typical applications include laboratory automation, life science, test and measurements, robotics, biotechnology, liquid handling, semiconductor handling, and manufacturing.
The TMCM-6110-CABLE is a cable loom set available (optional) for the TMCM-6110 motor driver module. This set includes
- 1x Cable loom for a power connector
- 6x cable loom for reference switch connectors 0-5
