5 Functional description
5.1 General Functions (explore using the Windows based
demo software)
The TMCM-160 module can either be remote controlled via the PC demonstration software or a user
specific program, or it can be controlled by an analog voltage (stand alone mode). The function of the
stand alone mode can be modified by the user by writing initialization values to the on-board
EEPROM, e.g. a maximum rotation velocity, motor current limit and rotation direction. For more
detailed software information refer to the TMCM BLDC Module – Reference and Programming
Manual (7).

In all modes, the motor torque is limit by the maximum current setting. The polarity of the DIR pin
can be inversed by the direction input reverse flag setting.

5.3 Evaluation Version – Additional Features
The evaluation version comes equipped with a screw terminal connector for the motor and for the
supply. The hall sensor connector is a 5 pin 1.5mm JST type, which directly fits to a NMB motors. An
emergency stop switch as well as indicator LEDs are included on the board. An integrated
potentiometer allows velocity setting in the stand-alone mode. To use the external 0-10V input, turn
this potentiometer to zero velocity (right turn).

The power stage on the module has exceeded a critical temperature
of 125°C. The motor becomes switched off, until temperature falls
below 115°C. The measurement is correct to about +/-10°C
of 125°C. The motor becomes switched off, until temperature falls
