1-Axis  
Controller / Driver 
3.5A / 48V
with Encoder Inf.
The TMCM-102 is a single axis 2-phase stepper motor control-
ler and driver module with an aluminium profile for quick 
and robust mounting. The built in encoder feedback makes it 
an optimum solution for high-reliability drives. This drive is 
optimally suited for industrial high-reliability applications. The 
power stage has very low dissipation when compared to com-
petitors’ products. Its interface add-on board concept allows for 
customer specific interface / connector selection. The TMCM-102 
comes with the PC based software development environment 
TMCL-IDE for the Trinamic Motion Control Language (TMCL). 
Using predefined TMCL high level commands like „move to 
position“ or „constant rotation“ rapid and fast development of 
motion control applications is guaranteed. Communication traf-
fic is kept very low since all time critical operations, e.g. ramp 
calculation, are performed on board. The TMCL program can be 
stored in the on-board EEPROM for stand-alone operation. The 
firmware of the module can be updated via the serial interface. 
With the stallGuard™ feature it is possible to detect motor 
overload or motor stall.
