1 Features
The TMCM-1181 is a single axis controller/driver module for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors. It is highly
integrated and can be used in many decentralized applications. The module can be mounted on the back
of NEMA34 (86mm flange size) stepper motors and has been designed for coil currents up to 6.5A RMS
(programmable) and 24V DC supply voltage. With its high energy efficiency from TRINAMIC’s coolStep™
technology cost for power consumption is kept down. The TMCL™ firmware supports both, standalone
operation and direct mode.
