2 Features
The TMCM-3214 / TMCM-3215 is a three axes controller/driver module for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors with
separate encoder (differential) and HOME / STOP switch inputs for each axis. CAN, RS485 and USB (Micro-USB)
interfaces are available on the TMCM-3214 and EtherCAT™ together with USB (Micro-USB) on the TMCM-3215 for
communication. Furthermore, the modules offer four analog / digital inputs and four digital outputs together
with a brake chopper unit (supporting an external brake resistor) for supply voltage limitation when energy is
fed back into the supply rail.
