Product specifications
TRINAMIC TMCM-6212-CANopen
6-axis stepper controller/driver 1.1A / 11-35V
The TMCM-6212 is a sextuple axis stepper motor controller/driver module for sensorless load dependent current control. The device is powered by Trinamic StallGuard2™, CoolStep™, SpreadCycle™, StealthChop™ and DcStep™ technology and has a SixPoint™ ramp generator.
The TMCM-6212 is capable of driving up to 1.5A peak of current from each output (with proper heatsinking). It is designed for an operating voltage of 11...35V.
The device provides a RS485, CAN, USB and 6 encoder interfaces. An integrated protocol processor supplies a high level TMCL/ CANopen communication.
