1 Features
The TMCM-1021 is a single axis controller/driver module for 2-phase bipolar stepper motors with state of the
art feature set. It is highly integrated, offers a convenient handling and can be used in many decentralized
applications. The module can be mounted on the back of NEMA11 (28mm flange size) and has been designed
for coil currents up to 0.7A RMS (low current range, programmable) or 1.4A RMS (high current range,
programmable, new additional range since hardware version 1.4) 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 remote control (direct mode) and standalone operation (with TMCL program being executed
on the TMCM-1021 itself).

TRINAMICS UNIQUE FEATURES – EASY TO USE WITH TMCL
stallGuard2™
stallGuard2 is a high-precision sensorless load measurement using the back EMF on the coils.
It can be used for stall detection as well as other uses at loads below those which stall the
motor. The stallGuard2 measurement value changes linearly over a wide range of load,
velocity, and current settings. At maximum motor load, the value goes to zero or near to zero.
This is the most energy-efficient point of operation for the motor.

coolStep™
coolStep is a load-adaptive automatic current scaling based on the load measurement via
stallGuard2 adapting the required current to the load. Energy consumption can be reduced by
as much as 75%. coolStep allows substantial energy savings, especially for motors which see
varying loads or operate at a high duty cycle. Because a stepper motor application needs to
work with a torque reserve of 30% to 50%, even a constant-load application allows significant
energy savings because coolStep automatically enables torque reserve when required.
Reducing power consumption keeps the system cooler, increases motor life, and allows
reducing cost.

3.1 Size of Board
The board with the controller/driver electronics has an overall size of 28mm x 28mm in order to fit on the
back side of a NEMA11 (28mm flange size) stepper motor. The printed circuit board outline is marked green

Figure 3.1 Board dimensions and position of mounting holes
Maximum board height (without mating connectors and cable looms) is about 10mm (approx. 6mm above
printed circuit board level).
3.1.1 Board mounting considerations
The board offers two mounting holes for M2.5 screws (both holes with 2.6mm diameter). Both mounting holes
are isolated. Nevertheless, it is highly recommended to electrically connect any metal screws used for mounting
to supply ground (either directly or via resistor) in order to prevent any electrostatic discharge (ESD) across
the isolation barrier. This is especially recommended in case the board is mounted to the backside of a motor.
Since hardware version 1.4 a second high current range for motor currents up-to 1.4A RMS is available. This
makes it possible to support NEMA11 motors with typical standard coil currents up-to 0.7A RMS using the low
current range and with the same hardware also NEMA17 bipolar stepper motors with coil currents up-to 1.4A
RMS using the high current range.

3.2.1.1 Power supply
For proper operation care has to be taken with regard to power supply concept and design. Due to space
restrictions the TMCM-1021 includes just about 20µF/35V (V1.2) resp. 30µF/35V (V1.4) of supply filter capacitors.
These are ceramic capacitors which have been selected for high reliability and long life time. The module
includes a 24V suppressor diode for over-voltage protection.
Please take the following measures into account in order to avoid serious damage of the device:
Add external power supply capacitors!
It is recommended to connect an electrolytic capacitor of significant size (e.g. 470µF/35V) to
the power supply lines next to the TMCM-1021!
Rule of thumb for size of electrolytic capacitor: c = 1000
μF
A
× ISUPPLY
In addition to power stabilization (buffer) and filtering this added capacitor will also reduce
any voltage spikes which might otherwise occur from a combination of high inductance
power supply wires and the ceramic capacitors. In addition it will limit slew-rate of power
supply voltage at the module. The low ESR of ceramic-only filter capacitors may cause stability
problems with some switching power supplies.
Keep the power supply voltage below the upper limit of 28V!
Otherwise the driver electronics will seriously be damaged! Especially, when the selected
operating voltage is near the upper limit a regulated power supply is highly recommended.
Please see also chapter 7, operating values.
There is no reverse polarity protection!
The module will short any reversed supply voltage due to internal diodes of the driver
transistors.
3.2.1.2 RS485
For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1021 provides a two wire RS485 bus
interface. For proper operation the following items should be taken into account when setting up an RS485
network:
1.
BUS STRUCTURE:
The network topology should follow a bus structure as closely as possible. That is, the connection
between each node and the bus itself should be as short as possible. Basically, it should be short
compared to the length of the bus.

Figure 3.4: Bus structure
2.
BUS TERMINATION:
Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high communication
speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The TMCM-1021 does not integrate any
termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be
added externally.
www.trinamic.com
TMCM-1021 V1.4 Hardware Manual (Rev. 1.04 / 2018-JAN-22)
10
3.
NUMBER OF NODES:
The RS485 electrical interface standard (EIA-485) allows up to 32 nodes to be connected to a single
bus. The bus transceivers used on the TMCM-1021 units (hardware V1.2: SN65HVD3082ED, since
hardware V1.4: SN65HVD1781D) have a significantly reduced bus load and allow a maximum of 255
units to be connected to a single RS485 bus using TMCL firmware. Please note: usually it cannot be
expected to get reliable communication with the maximum number of nodes connected to one bus
and maximum supported communication speed at the same time. Instead, a compromise has to be
found between bus cable length, communication speed and number of nodes.
4.
COMMUNICATION SPEED:
The maximum RS485 communication speed supported by the TMCM-1021 is 115200 bit/s (FW version
1.29 with TMCM-1021 hardware version 1.2 and 1.4). Factory default is 9600 bit/s. Please see separate
TMCM-1021 TMCL firmware manual for information regarding other possible communication speeds
below 115200 bit/s.
5.
NO FLOATING BUS LINES:
Avoid floating bus lines while neither the host/master nor one of the slaves along the bus line is
transmitting data (all bus nodes switched to receive mode). Floating bus lines may lead to
communication errors. In order to ensure valid signals on the bus it is recommended to use a resistor
network connecting both bus lines to well defined logic levels.
There are actually two options which can be recommended:
Add resistor (Bias) network on one side of the bus, only (120R termination resistor still at both ends):

3.2.1.3 Digital Inputs IN_0 and IN_1
The eight pin connector of the TMCM-1021 provides four general purpose inputs IN_0, IN_1, IN_2 and IN_3.
The first two inputs have dedicated connector pins while the other two share pins with two general purpose
outputs.
All four inputs are protected using voltage resistor dividers together with limiting diodes against voltages
below 0V (GND) and above +3.3V DC. Input circuit of the first two inputs IN_0 and IN_1 is shown below:

Using the alternate function 1 of IN_0 and IN_1 it is possible to control the on-board stepper motor driver
with the help of an external stepper motor controller using step and direction signals (Please see separate
TMCL firmware manual / axis parameter 254 for more details how to enable this mode). For the step and

direction signals the signal levels are the same as for the general purpose digital inputs. Please note that the
low-pass filter (for noise rejection) at the inputs offers a bandwidth of 16kHz (-3dB).
IN_3 can be used as analog input, also. A 12bit analog to digital converter integrated in the microcontroller
will convert any analog input voltage between 0 and +6.6V to a digital value between 0 and 4095 then.
3.2.1.4 Inputs IN_2, IN_3, Digital Outputs OUT_0, OUT_1
The eight pin connector of the TMCM-1021 provides two general purpose outputs. These two outputs are opendrain outputs and can sink up to 100mA each. Both outputs OUT_0 and OUT_1 share pins with two of the four
inputs (IN_2 resp. IN_3).
The inputs are protected using voltage resistor dividers together with limiting diodes against voltages below
0V (GND) and above +3.3V DC. The circuit of the two outputs and the two inputs connected in parallel to the

Figure 3.8 General purpose outputs OUT_0, OUT_1 and inputs IN_2, IN_3 connected in parallel
The outputs of the N-channel MOSFET transistors (Open-Drain) are connected to freewheeling diodes each for
protection against voltage spikes especially from inductive loads (relais etc.). Please take into account the 20k
(2x 10k in series) resistance to ground (transistor not active) of the input voltage divider (figure 4.8) when
designing the external “load” circuit.
Since hardware version 1.4 the gate inputs of the MOSFETs are pulled-low during power-up and while the
processor might be still in reset / output pins not initialized. This way, the outputs will not briefly switch on
at power-up.
The two outputs OUT_0 / OUT_1 and inputs IN_2 / IN_3 have alternate functions depending on configuration

Table 3.4 Multipurpose outputs / inputs / alternate functions
Do not apply any voltage above supply voltage to inputs IN_2 and IN_3. Due to the
freewheeling diodes of the outputs connected in parallel they will be shorted to power supply
input voltage.
For hardware version 1.2: Do not connect either IN_2 or IN_3 directly to a low resistance
supply voltage (e.g. directly to any power supply voltage). As the output transistors connected
in parallel might briefly switch-on during power-up they might be damaged / destroyed if the
current through the transistors to ground exceeds 100mA.

Table 3.4 Motor connector
Do not connect or disconnect motor during operation!
Motor cable and motor inductivity might lead to voltage spikes when the motor is
disconnected / connected while energized. These voltage spikes might exceed voltage limits
of the driver MOSFETs and might permanently damage them. Therefore, always disconnect
power supply before connecting / disconnecting the motor.
For hardware version 1.4: please note the additional high current range for motor
currents up-to 1.4A RMS!
Setting motor current too high might lead to excessive power dissipation inside the motor,
overheating and even permanent damage of the motor. Therefore, make sure the motor
current is properly set. Also with hardware version 1.2 the low current range is set as default.

4 Motor driver current
The on-board stepper motor driver operates current controlled. The driver current may be programmed in
software in two ranges (low current range up-to 0.7A RMS and high current range up-to 1.4A RMS) with 32
effective scaling steps in hardware for each range. Please note: the high current range is available with
hardware revision V1.4, only – not with hardware revision V1.2!
Explanation of different columns in table below:
Motor current
setting in
software
(TMCL)
These are the values for TMCL axis parameter 6 (motor run current) and 7 (motor
standby current). They are used to set the run / standby current using the following
TMCL commands:
SAP 6, 0, // set run current
SAP 7, 0, // set standby current
(read-out value with GAP instead of SAP. Please see separate TMCM-1021 firmware
manual for further information)
Range setting
in software
(TMCL)
This is the value for TMCL axis parameter 179 (Vsense). This value defines the current
range. This value can be set using the following TMCL command:
SAP 179, 0, // = 0 high current range
// = 1 low current range
For either 0 (high current range) or 1 (low current range) is supported (see
table) since hardware revision V1.4. For earlier hardware revisions (incl. V1.2) this
parameter is set to the fixed value “1” (low current range).

5 Reset to Factory Defaults
It is possible to reset the TMCM-1021 to factory default settings without establishing a communication link.
This might be helpful in case communication parameters of the preferred interface have been set to unknown
values or got accidentally lost.
For this procedure two pads on the bottom side of the board have to be shortened (see Figure 5.1).
Please perform the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Power supply off and USB cable disconnected
Short two pads as marked in Figure 5.1
Power up board (power via USB is sufficient for this purpose)
Wait until the on-board red and green LEDs start flashing fast (this might take a while)
Power-off board (disconnect USB cable)
Remove short between pads
After switching on power-supply / connecting USB cable all permanent settings have been restored
to factory defaults
Short these two PADs on
the bottom of the PCB
Figure 5.1 Reset to factory default settings
6 On-board LED
The board offers one LED in order to indicate board status. The function of the LED is dependent on the
firmware version. With standard TMCL firmware the green LED flashes slowly during operation.
When there is no valid firmware programmed into the board or during firmware update the green LED is
permanently on.
