Baseboard for 
TMCM-160 
The baseboard BB-160 allows to build a ready to use BLDC mo-
tor driver unit using the TMCM-160 driver module. It integrates 
velocity and torque (via current) control as well as a hall sensor 
based positioning mode. The position resolution depends on 
the motor, i.e. a standard 8 pole motor gives a motor axis reso-
lution of 15 degrees. The module can be used in stand alone 
operation (analog control) or it can be remotely controlled via 
RS-232 (or RS-485). 
All important signals and the power supply lines can be con-
nected easily. For motor, power supply and hall sensors screw 
terminals are available and for RS232 (or RS485) a 9-pin D-SUB 
connector. Some signals like the analog inputs are adjustable 
either onboard or they can be remote controlled.
